Is foot soaking good for high blood cholesterol

Foot soaking has no significant therapeutic effect on hyperlipidemia. Currently, blood lipid levels are often controlled through drug therapy and lifestyle intervention. Pharmacological treatment needs to be combined with specific lipid levels, mainly controlling low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), usually preferred to statins (e.g., atorvastatin calcium, pitavastatin, etc.), which can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in patients with hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia is obviously affected by diet and lifestyle, which can be effectively controlled by controlling diet and improving lifestyle. Reduce the patient’s total energy intake, limit fat intake, supplement dietary fiber, increase exercise (30 minutes of moderate intensity per day), maintain normal body weight, quit smoking, limit alcohol, limit salt and so on. The prognosis of elevated blood lipids is better with active drug treatment and correct lifestyle intervention. It is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions for regular treatment so as not to affect the prognosis.
