Nowadays, people always joke that living conditions are getting better and better, but their wallets are getting flatter. In fact, not only is the financial burden heavier these days, but also the burden on our bodies. Every bite of delicious food can be turned into a weapon that endangers the health of our blood vessels and blood. In the end, you will find that all the indicators of your body have become very high, especially blood lipids.
Hyperlipidemia is one of the important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Long-term dyslipidemia may lead to atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and other diseases. Once hyperlipidemia occurs, there will be dizziness, headache, chest tightness, shortness of breath and other problems, but generally most patients have no obvious symptoms when suffering from hyperlipidemia, but only find that the blood lipids are elevated during the physical examination, which also leads to the careless attention to hyperlipidemia at ordinary times.
Reminder: These small habits in daily life, or the culprit that causes the "spike" of blood lipids, should be corrected in time
1. Smoke never leaves your hand
Tobacco contains a lot of nicotine, which affects the synthesis of cholesterol and triglycerides in our endothelial cells, which increases cholesterol levels in the blood. At the same time, nicotine can also stimulate vascular endothelial cells and accelerate their proliferation, making atherosclerosis more severe.
And some studies have found that smoking increases the levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, which makes atherosclerosis worse. Secondly, smoking may also contribute to the formation of blood clots, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients. Therefore, it is best for patients with high blood lipids to quit smoking in time to stabilize blood lipids.
2. Unhealthy diet
High consumption of high-cholesterol and high-fat foods, irregular dietary structures, and excessive intake of carbohydrates and proteins can cause our bodies to absorb far more calories than they consume.
These non-expendable calories are converted into triglycerides and accumulated in the body, resulting in high fat content, which in turn causes the problem of hyperlipidemia. In addition, sitting for long periods of time, excessive anxiety and nervousness, as well as excessive smoking and alcohol consumption, can also lead to elevated blood lipids.
3. Excessive pressure
Excessive psychological stress is also an important factor in the appearance of hyperlipidemia. Long-term negative emotions, such as nervousness, anxiety, and depression, can lead to our endocrine disruptions, which in turn affect fat metabolism. In addition, stress can also make people choose foods high in fat and sugar for relief, which can increase the risk of hyperlipidemia.
Therefore, it is equally important to learn to regulate emotions and reduce stress in daily life to prevent hyperlipidemia. We can try to relax and maintain a calm mind through meditation, yoga, listening to music, etc.
4. Sedentary lifestyle
People with high blood lipids in daily life generally have a bad habit of being sedentary. When there is a lack of exercise, our body's circulatory and metabolic capacity decreases, which can easily affect the blood supply to local tissues and organs. If obesity occurs, it is likely to lead to hyperlipidemia, which will affect the normal blood supply and circulation of our body.
Therefore, in daily life, we should also pay attention to maintaining appropriate exercise, combined with healthy exercise methods, and unclogging blood vessels to maintain normal blood circulation and avoid threats to our health.
5. Sunset
Long-term sleep deprivation can also reduce our basal metabolic rate, leading to endocrine disruptions and elevated blood pressure. Elevated blood pressure and blood lipids increase our risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, staying up late for a long time can also lead to excessive water loss in our body and an increase in blood concentration, which in turn can cause problems such as narrowing or blockage of blood vessels.
All in all, for people with high blood lipids, it is also necessary to break these bad habits in daily life. At the same time, it is also important to have regular physical examinations at ordinary times, which can help us detect dyslipidemia early and adjust our lifestyle habits in time to avoid deterioration of the condition. In addition, in daily life, we should also pay attention to maintaining healthy eating habits, moderate exercise, good sleep and emotional stability, etc., to reduce blood lipid levels and maintain our physical health.
