How to manage high blood lipid, the latest guide to help you! Hyperlipidemia has become a major concern in people’s healthy lives today. It is one of the three high schools and can cause cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, how to effectively prevent hyperlipidemia and how to reduce blood lipids has become a more important issue. Today we will talk to you about the regulation of blood lipids! 1.What is blood lipid? Always say high blood lipids, first of all, we need to understand what is blood lipids. Lipids in blood plasma are collectively known as lipids, and the lipid content can reflect the metabolism of lipids in the body. Generally speaking, the main components of lipids are triglycerides and cholesterol. Blood is often taken 12-14 hours after a meal to reliably reflect the true state of lipid levels. Since the increase of plasma cholesterol and triglyceride level is related to the occurrence of atherosclerosis, these two items become the key items of lipid determination. 2.Which of the lipid tests is generally high and dangerous to health? There are many common clinical tests, but clinicians are more concerned about ① total cholesterol (TC), ② triglycerides (TG), ③ high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), ④ low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), ⑤ lipoprotein (a) (Lpa), which are five items. Except for ③ high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) the higher the better, the other four items the lower the better. 3.How to treat and prevent high blood lipids? (1) Diet regulation: usually pay attention to low-salt and low-fat diet, eat less sweets, eat less too oily food such as fatty meat, animal offal, egg yolk, which should be eaten sparingly, and limit the intake of trans fatty acids. Eat more vegetables and high-quality protein, such as fish, shrimp, lean meat, soy products. 2) Exercise conditioning: Increase the amount of exercise by walking at least 10,000 steps a day and exercising at least twice a week at moderate intensity for 30 minutes or more, with the key being consistency and gradual progress. This will help to lower blood lipid levels and keep your body healthy and happy. (3) Lifestyle conditioning: Quit smoking, drinking and alcohol, pay attention to ensure the time and quality of sleep, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, maintain a relaxed mood, and eliminate tension and anxiety, which can help regulate the blood lipid level. (4) drug conditioning: lower triglycerides have phenoxy acids such as fenofibrate, benzofibrate, etc. Statins are the cornerstone therapeutic drugs to reduce LDL-C and anti-atherosclerosis. When LDL-C fails to reach the target, lipid-lowering drugs with different mechanisms of action are used in combination. Ezetimibe is recommended first, followed by PCSK9 inhibitors. 4. Professional improvement and updated knowledge The 2019 edition of the ESC and EAC guidelines for lipid management was released just a few days ago. New evidence suggests that the key initiating event in atherosclerosis formation is the retention of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and other cholesterol-rich apolipoproteins (ApoB) within the arterial wall. To prevent cardiovascular disease, especially in high- and very high-risk patients, LDL-C levels should be lowered as much as possible, without a lower limit. For secondary prevention in very high-risk patients, it is recommended that LDL-C levels be reduced by ≥50% from baseline and that LDL-C levels be <1.4 mmol/L; (ii) for high-risk patients, it is recommended that LDL-C levels be <1.8 mmol/L; (iii) for intermediate-risk patients, it is recommended that LDL-C be reduced to <2.6 mmol/L; and (iv) for low-risk patients, it is recommended that LDL-C be reduced to <3.0 mmol/L. The new guidelines recommend that all adults have at least one Lp(a) test. This is because having a very high Lp(a) > 430 mmol/L) has a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Finally, I would like to tell you that there are many and profound things about lipids, you just have to remember that the higher the HDL the better, the lower the rest the better, pay attention to lifestyle adjustments and leave the rest of the treatment to your professional doctor to help you manage your lipids, which is more beneficial to your health.
