Cholesterol and triglycerides that exceed normal values are collectively referred to as hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia is a major factor in the development of atherosclerosis. It often causes serious consequences by invading important organs, such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, cerebrovascular accidents, intractable hypertension and nephrotic syndrome, pancreatitis, stone disease, fatty liver, etc. The occurrence and development of arteriosclerosis is also closely related to high blood lipids. The reason for the importance of dietary modification in hyperlipidemia is that the accumulation of fat in the body and the source of some lipids are mainly from the diet. Therefore, diet control can have a direct effect on the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia. The diet should be light and mainly vegetarian, but should not be vegetarian for a long time, otherwise the diet composition is not perfect, but can cause endogenous cholesterol increase. High cholesterol, foods with high fatty acid content should be limited Patients with hyperlipidemia with high cholesterol should limit foods with high cholesterol and saturated fatty acid content. Such foods include red meat (pork, beef and lamb, etc.), animal offal (liver, kidney, brain, tripe, etc.), egg yolk, fish roe, shellfish and some mollusks. Animal foods such as fish, chicken (skinless) and rabbit are low in fat and should be promoted. Patients with hyperlipidemia with high triglycerides should mainly master to limit the total calorie intake. Excessive calories are easily converted into body fat, which can lead to obesity and complications of abnormal lipid metabolism and secondary hyperlipidemia. Therefore, these patients must control their food intake and keep their body weight within the ideal range. Patients with high triglycerides are sensitive to carbohydrates, especially refined sugars such as monosaccharides and sucrose, which are easily absorbed into the liver and converted into fat, so patients should eat less sugar and sweets, especially refined snacks, etc. Hyperlipidemia patients, should not use starvation therapy According to the introduction, hyperlipidemia diet therapy aims to reduce plasma cholesterol and triglycerides, specific measures include: 1, staple foods should be mainly cereals and grains and reduce the intake of food calories to maintain ideal body weight; 2, protein sources to fish, soybeans and soybean products; 3, it is appropriate to low-salt diet, cooking oil should be soybean oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil, sesame oil, etc. 4, choose a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables with lipid-lowering effects, and appropriately increase the intake of dietary fiber; 5, drinks mainly green tea, less or no sugar-sweetened beverages; 6, it is appropriate to limit high-fat, high-cholesterol diet, such as animal brain marrow, egg yolk, chicken liver, butter, etc.; 7, fat intake is limited to 30-50 grams per day; 8, sugar foods should also be limited, do not eat 9, hunger and satiety in moderation, the amount of food eaten at each meal half an hour before the next meal to have a sense of hunger; 10, should not use starvation therapy, excessive hunger, but to accelerate the decomposition of body fat, so that the blood fatty acids increase. Light hyperlipidemia patients recommended recipes: Breakfast: 250ml milk, 100g corn cake, 100g cold lettuce shreds; Lunch: 150g rice, stewed tofu (chicken 30g, shrimp 5g, mushrooms 25g, tofu 100g), fried potato shreds 100g; Dinner: 150g rice, 150g garlic vegetable heart, steamed fish 100g, a bowl of tomato and egg soup (about 250ml); Another: 1 fruit (about 200g), not more than 15g of oil for cooking and 7g of salt for the whole day. The above recipes are designed with an energy value of about 1800 kcal and are suitable for hyperlipidemic patients with an ideal body weight of 60-65kg who are engaged in light physical work (such as office clerks, etc.). It is worth noting that overweight or obese people should control their weight through diet and exercise. On the basis of adjusting the diet structure, supplemented by moderate physical exercise, it can effectively improve hyperlipidemia and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
