The main point of dietary treatment for hyperlipidemia: (1) Hypercholesterolemia Patients who only have elevated blood cholesterol levels and normal triglyceride levels, the main point of dietary treatment is to limit food cholesterol to a total daily intake of less than 200 mg. Patients should avoid or eat less cholesterol-containing foods such as animal brains, spinal cords, offal, egg yolks (each egg yolk contains 250-300 mg of cholesterol), shellfish ( such as mussels, snails, etc.) and mollusks (such as squid, cuttlefish, roe, etc.). On the other hand, patients should consume moderate amounts of nutrients that are not too high in cholesterol, such as lean pork, beef, duck, chicken, fish and milk. These foods are not high in cholesterol, for example, each bottle of milk contains only 30mg, and several other foods contain only about 100mg of cholesterol per 100g, so there is no need to overly avoid them, but of course, do not eat too much. The second is to limit animal fat and increase vegetable oil appropriately. Calculations show that if cooking without animal oil, each patient can eat vegetable oil (soybean oil, corn oil, vegetable oil, etc.) 500-750g per month is more ideal. Although vegetarian oil is good, but should not eat too much, otherwise it will also bring adverse effects. Third, eat more vegetables, fruits and vegetables to increase the intake of fiber. Fourth, eat more foods that have cholesterol-lowering effects, such as soybeans and their products, onions, garlic, goldenrod (grass head), shiitake mushrooms, fungus, etc. Some of these foods also have an anticoagulant effect, which is also good for the prevention of thrombosis and coronary heart disease. (2) Hypertriglyceridemia For patients who only have elevated blood triglyceride levels but normal cholesterol levels, the key points of dietary treatment are different from the above. The key is to restrict the amount of food eaten, reduce body weight, and achieve and maintain a weight in the standard range. The standard weight can be calculated by the following formula: Men: height (cm) – 105 (kg) Women: height (cm) – 107.5 (kg) The next point is to limit sweets. Such patients are particularly sensitive to sugar, and eating sugar can increase their triglyceride levels even more. Therefore, white sugar, brown sugar, fruit sugar, honey, and foods and drugs containing sugar should be eaten sparingly or not at all. Third, prohibit alcohol, which can increase the triglyceride content of such patients. Fourth, increase protein appropriately, especially soy protein. Fifth, appropriate cholesterol restriction, less than 300mg per day, allowing patients to eat 3 eggs per week, other cholesterol-containing foods can also be appropriate, as long as the total intake is not higher than the above threshold. Sixth, appropriately restrict fat, especially animal fat. (3) Mixed hyperlipidemia Patients with this type have elevated blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and the key point of dietary treatment is to combine the above two types. In other words, we should limit cholesterol and animal fat, control food intake to reduce body weight, avoid eating sweets, abstain from alcohol, increase vegetable oil, beans and their products, and eat more vegetables, fruits and certain foods with lipid-lowering effects. Uric acid is produced by the body’s liver, bone marrow and muscles, and is excreted from the kidneys and digestive organs without decomposition. The total amount of uric acid in the body of an adult male is about 7 mM, of which nearly half is excreted alternately every day. If production increases and excretion decreases, the concentration of uric acid in the blood will increase (normal uric acid in the blood should be less than 200 ml/dl) and hyperuricemia will occur. If this is not controlled in time, it can develop into gout. What happens when uric acid is high According to a standard set by the World Health Organization, a blood uric acid value of 416 µmol/l or more in men and 357 µmol/l or more in women is considered to be hyperuricemia. Once the blood uric acid exceeds the normal value, urates are formed. Gout, as it is called, is a condition in which urate reaches the distal extremities of the lower extremities in the bloodstream, where it is deposited in the form of crystals in and around the joints and presses on the nerves there, causing numbness and, in severe cases, severe pain. Uric acid crystals are deposited in the kidney tissue and can cause nephritis and kidney stones.
