The concept of hyperlipidemia Disorders of lipid metabolism in human body; abnormal lipid metabolism or transport; high plasma concentrations of one or several lipids, including high plasma TC and TG levels or low plasma HDL levels and high LDL levels; human plasma levels of TC, TG and various lipoproteins exceeding normal values are called hyperlipidemia. According to lipid abnormalities, they can be simply classified into the following five categories: hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, mixed hyperlipidemia, low HDL, and high LDL. According to the etiology, they can be divided into: primary hyperlipidemia and secondary hyperlipidemia. Causes of hyperlipidemia Genetic factors: five major categories and dozens of LDL receptor gene mutations. Dietary factors: irrational diet, such as high-fat diet, unbalanced diet structure, etc. Diseases that can be complicated by hyperlipidemia Overt triglyceridemia can cause acute pancreatitis. Hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia can occur on the basis of vascular sclerosis such as coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, arteriosclerosis and stenosis in the neck, fundus and lower limbs. Protection of hyperlipidemia 1.Adjust reasonable diet, reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. 2.Adjust life and work style Actively participate in physical activities, avoid being sedentary, and control weight. Quit smoking and limit alcohol. 3.People with coronary heart disease, diabetes and family history of primary hyperlipidemia should have regular annual comprehensive checkups of blood lipids, blood sugar and liver function. 4.Men over 40 years old and postmenopausal women should have a comprehensive lipid examination regularly every year. 5.To enable early and timely detection of hyperlipidemia, it is recommended that all adults over 20 years of age should have their plasma total cholesterol levels checked regularly. For all patients with pancreatitis, plasma triglyceride levels should be measured. Those whose lipids do not return to normal with lifestyle modifications need to seek medical attention. 3 major misconceptions about high blood lipids 1, blood lipids in the normal range is fine 2, the lower the cholesterol the better 3, high blood lipids and thin people have nothing to do with foods that have the effect of lowering blood lipids:? Kelp: contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acids and dietary fiber, which can remove the cholesterol attached to the walls of blood vessels, regulate the stomach and intestines, promote the excretion of cholesterol, and has the effect of assisting in lowering blood lipids. Corn: rich in calcium, magnesium, selenium and other substances, as well as lecithin, linoleic acid, vitamin E, they all have the effect of lowering serum cholesterol. Oats: very rich in linoleic acid, accounting for 35%-52% of all unsaturated fatty acids; vitamin E content is also very rich, and oats contain saponins. They all have the effect of reducing the concentration of plasma cholesterol. Milk: contains hydroxyl and methylglutaric acid, which can inhibit the activity of cholesterol synthesis enzyme in human body, thus inhibiting the synthesis of cholesterol and reducing the level of cholesterol in blood. In addition, milk contains more calcium, which can also reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the body. Onion: Its lipid-lowering effect is related to the allyl disulfide and a small amount of sulfur amino acids it contains. These substances belong to the ligand, in addition to lowering blood lipids can also prevent atherosclerosis, the arteries have a protective effect. It also contains prostaglandin A, which has the function of diastolic blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. Garlic: The lipid-lowering effect of garlic is related to allicin, a substance contained in garlic. This active ingredient of garlic has antibacterial and antitumor properties, and can prevent atherosclerosis, lower blood sugar and blood lipids, etc. Almonds: Almonds do not contain cholesterol and contain only 7% of saturated fatty acids. Hyperlipidemia patients eat 30g almonds on sick days, can replace foods containing high saturated fatty acids. Chrysanthemum: has the effect of lowering blood lipids and smoother blood pressure lowering effect. Seniors in green tea mixed with a little chrysanthemum, a good cardiovascular health effects. Eggs: In the past, eggs were thought to be high in cholesterol and easy to eat to cause coronary heart disease. It has been confirmed that eggs contain lecithin, which can keep cholesterol and fat in the human blood in suspension and not deposited in the blood vessel wall, thus effectively reducing blood lipid levels. It is advisable to eat one egg per day. Soybeans: rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and phospholipids. Patients with high cholesterol consume 60-100g of soy protein per day, about 90% of them will be cured or improved. Cold celery: take 200g celery stalks, 100g kelp, 50g black fungus, first black fungus and kelp washed with water and shredded, blanched with boiling water, young celery stalks cut 3cm long, boiling water slightly boiled and fished out. After the above ingredients are cooled, add seasonings and mix, mainly for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
