Chinese medicine believes that the three most important causes of atherosclerosis leading to the appearance of astringent veins are high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and smoking as risk factors. Other obesity, diabetes, lack of exercise, stressful states, advanced age, family history of disease, and irritability are all related. Dietary points: 1. Limit the intake of dietary cholesterol: Lowering LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol is the key to prevent and treat atherosclerosis. Although not all cholesterol in the body comes from food, but limiting cholesterol intake is necessary to reduce hypercholesterolemia. Foods rich in cholesterol are egg yolks, crab yolks and various animal offal, which should be eaten sparingly. For example, one egg yolk contains about 200~300mg of cholesterol, which is the maximum daily cholesterol intake. 2, limit the intake of fat: edible fat includes animal fat and vegetable fat, the former mainly contains saturated fatty acids, excessive intake can raise cholesterol, should be strictly limited so that it does not exceed 7% of the total daily calories. Although the latter is unsaturated fatty acids, it should also be appropriately limited to no more than 20-25g per day because it provides higher calories. All fat calories should not exceed 30% of the total calorie intake. Advocate scientific cooking methods, dishes mainly steamed, boiled and cold, stir-fry with less oil, try not to fry or deep-fry food, and eat less margarine food. 3.Limit the total calorie intake: In addition to limiting fat, carbohydrates, which provide calories, should also be appropriately limited. If the dyslipidemia is combined with or secondary to diabetes, its staple food control is even more important. 4, quit smoking and limit alcohol: smoking can inhibit the activity of lipoprotein lipase (an important enzyme involved in lipoprotein metabolism in human body), make triglycerides rise and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol fall, also can destroy the function of endothelial cells and cause arterial spasm. So for patients with dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis is very harmful, must quit smoking. And moderate drinking, especially wine, for the prevention and control of atherosclerosis may be beneficial, to no more than 1OOg of wine per day is appropriate.
