Hawthorn does not have a definite effect on lowering LDL, and it is recommended to consult a professional doctor for standardized treatment in a timely manner.
Currently there is no research showing that hawthorn has a definite effect on lowering LDL, and the effect of lowering blood lipids by consuming a certain food alone is very limited. Currently, the clinically recommended method for lowering blood lipids is lifestyle intervention combined with medication.
Lifestyle intervention includes avoiding excessive consumption of oily and high salt in diet, maintaining sufficient rest, quitting smoking and drinking, and maintaining appropriate intensity and frequency of aerobic exercise.
In addition, lipid-lowering drugs such as statins (atorvastatin, ezetimibe, bile acid sequestrants, etc.) should be taken under the guidance of professional doctors.
If you feel unwell, you should seek medical advice and follow the treatment prescribed by your doctor.
