Treatment of dyslipidemia focuses on lifestyle interventions

  Dyslipidemia refers to an imbalance in the body’s lipid metabolism, with more cholesterol and triglycerides entering than exiting. Lipid disorders include not only hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, mixed hyperlipidemia, but also hypoHDLemia.  Lipid disorders can cause blood “stickiness, thickening, stagnation and stasis”, which, over time, can narrow the lumen of blood vessels and cause poor blood flow, which may lead to stroke, hemiplegia, myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction in serious cases. Therefore, lowering blood lipids is like “taking the bottom out of the fire”, which can achieve the effect of “half the result with twice the effort”.  With the improvement of people’s living standard, there are more and more people with dyslipidemia, but many people do not take it seriously and do not treat it, which is very dangerous.  The focus of treatment for dyslipidemia is not on the use of drugs, but on how to block the formation of hyperlipidemia. Only those who cannot control it with strict dietary control, smoking and alcohol cessation, exercise and weight loss should consider the use of drugs.  Many people with lipid metabolism disorders are caused by improper lifestyles, so it is said that for many patients with lipid metabolism disorders, lifestyle intervention therapy should be the first choice, and medication should be administered if necessary.
