Apo C2 is one of the types of apolipoproteins, and its high level means that the LDL in human blood is also high. At this time, we need to lower the LDL through dietary regulation, weight control, and medication in order to avoid cardiovascular diseases caused by excessive elevation of LDL.
1. Dietary regulation:
Improve the diet structure, reduce the intake of high cholesterol, high fat food, increase the intake of crude fiber and low sugar food, such as coarse grains, fruits, etc., which has a certain auxiliary effect on lowering LDL.
2. Weight control:
Obesity can cause or aggravate triglycerides or cholesterol in the blood, which leads to the elevation of apolipoproteins. Weight control by increasing metabolism and consuming excess calories through exercise and reducing calorie intake is to some extent beneficial in lowering LDL.
3. Drugs:
Triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood increase beyond the normal range, statins and triglyceride-lowering drugs can be used. For example, simvastatin and atorvastatin can reduce cholesterol synthesis as well as lower blood lipid levels; niacin and other drugs can reduce free fat from entering the liver and lower the secretion of very low-density lipoproteins, and the two types of drugs are also often used in combination.
When you need to use medication, you must first complete the relevant examinations, follow the doctor’s advice, and follow the doctor’s prescription.
