What to do for thick blood lipids

Hyperlipidemia, or hyperlipidemia, includes hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia do not have the same considerations. Treatment of hypertriglyceridemia or hypercholesterolemia begins with lifestyle and dietary habits. Elevated triglycerides are often associated with an increase in the consumption of fatty foods, or an increase in the consumption of staple foods. Elevated cholesterol is associated with excessive intake of fatty foods, animal offal or egg yolk type foods. However, in addition to the above factors, some patients have elevated cholesterol and triglycerides that are related to their own metabolism. In addition to diet, patients need to exercise more. Exercise can reduce weight, burn energy, consume glucose and burn fat. After fat consumption, blood fat will reach gradual mobilization and produce energy. So generally patients need to pay attention to diet and exercise, which can be performed to lower lipids. For patients with mildly elevated lipids, firstly, after adjusting from diet and exercise, observe for two months. If the lipids are still elevated after two months, pharmacological intervention is required. Patients with hyperlipidemia with high cholesterol generally need to choose to take statins, such as atorvastatin, resulvastatin, pravastatin, and pitavastatin. Also patients with high cholesterol can take ezetimibe to inhibit cholesterol absorption. For high triglycerides, fibrates, such as fenofibrate, benzofibrate and niacin, such as acipimox, are taken. Patients need a combination of lifestyle, exercise, and medications to lower their blood lipids.
