Hyperlipidemia refers to high blood lipid levels, which can directly cause diseases that seriously endanger human health, such as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, pancreatitis, etc.
In general, patients with a family history of hyperlipidemia, as well as patients with hypertension, diabetes, fatty liver, obesity, long-term smoking, and alcoholism are prone to hyperlipidemia.
In addition, men over 40 years old, postmenopausal women, people who lack exercise, people who have a long-term high-fat and high-sugar diet, and patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are all groups with a high incidence of hyperlipidemia.
1.Weight gain
The human body will have high blood lipids, and one of the more important indicators is triglycerides. If the fat in the body cannot be metabolized normally, then it is likely to accumulate in the body, which will lead to weight gain and obesity will become serious.
There are some differences that show that obese people are more likely to develop symptoms of hyperlipidemia than thin people.
2.Drowsiness
When blood lipids rise, blood viscosity increases and blood flow slows down. Once the blood flow rate slows down, the blood to the human brain will have symptoms of cerebral insufficiency, so the patient will have a lack of oxygen to the brain, causing drowsiness.
3.Loss of appetite
Due to high blood lipids, it can lead to fat accumulation in liver cells, and excessive fat accumulation in liver cells can cause fatty liver. As a result, the liver is enlarged, liver disease and changes in liver function occur, and to a certain extent, symptoms such as loss of appetite can occur.
4.Early-onset keratitis
If the patient has hyperlipidemia accompanied by symptoms such as increased eye discharge, eyelid congestion and edema, and decreased vision, it may be caused by long-term uncontrolled blood lipid levels, resulting in fatty infiltration in the eyes and inducing inflammatory reactions.
5.Dark spots appear
High blood lipids can affect the normal blood flow rate in the body, resulting in a decrease in metabolic function. Therefore, it cannot be well discharged from the residual melanin in the body, so that it accumulates on the surface layer and produces dark spots.
Dark spots are generally on the face and hands, and the dark spots caused by hyperlipidemia are darker and larger in shape than age spots, which seriously affects the appearance.
Usually doctors tell us to eat less fatty meat, because if we consume too much fatty meat, it will cause fat to accumulate in the blood, which will increase blood lipids, because wrong diet and Xi habits are one of the important causes of high blood lipids.
If you don't eat meat for a long time, then part of the body's energy needs need to be compensated for by other foods, and in doing so, the total calorie intake of the body will not be reduced.
Moreover, a vegetarian diet will also lead to vitamin B deficiency, which will cause fat metabolism disorders, which will also cause vegetarian people to suffer from hyperlipidemia.
In addition, some vegetarian foods are easier to increase blood lipids than if you eat fatty meat, and if you eat the wrong one, your blood lipids will definitely not go down.
Academician Chen Keji is a well-known medical scientist and researcher, who has been committed to the research of cardiovascular diseases for more than 50 years, and he has an in-depth research and understanding of the relationship between hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases, so he has unique insights into people's dietary health.
In his view, hyperlipidemia is one of the main factors leading to cardiovascular disease, and people's daily diet is an important means to control blood lipids. In addition to meat, some vegetables also need to be watched with intake, as they may affect blood lipid levels.
1.Toon
Toon is the young shoot of the toon tree, which is very nutritious and rich in calcium, phosphorus, potassium and other components. It also has the effect of dietary therapy, which can tonify the kidneys and replenish deficiency, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and help digestion.
Toons are seasonal foods and cannot be kept fresh all year round. Many people choose to pickle toons, which is more likely to lead to excessive salt intake and affect blood vessels.
2.Fennel
Fennel is a food that many people love to eat, and the main use of fennel can be used as a filling, used to make dumplings and steamed buns.
If a large amount of intake is very good, it is easy to cause irritation to blood vessels, resulting in vascular allergies and loss of elasticity of blood vessels, and in severe cases, it may also lead to fluctuations in vascular osmotic pressure, which is not conducive to the stability of blood lipids.
3.Pumpkin
Pumpkin is a very common food, with high nutritional value, it contains a variety of ingredients that are beneficial to the human body, it tastes soft and glutinous and sweet, and there are many ways to do it, and it is loved by elderly friends.
However, patients with hyperlipidemia cannot eat pumpkin, which has a high sugar content, and excessive intake will lead to excessive glucose in the blood vessels, and excessive glucose will be stored in the body in the form of fat, aggravating the symptoms of hyperlipidemia.
4.Lettuce
Lettuce is a very common vegetable, it tastes crisp and refreshing, and it is rich in vitamins and fiber, which is very beneficial for good health.
However, Academician Chen reminded us that lettuce contains a substance called oxalic acid, which will combine with calcium ions to form calcium oxalate, which will affect the absorption of calcium.
Calcium is one of the basic elements needed by the human body, and it is very important for bone growth and the maintenance of neuromuscular function. Therefore, if you consume lettuce containing oxalic acid in excess, it will affect the absorption of calcium, which is not good for your health.
5.Potatoes
Potatoes are a relatively common vegetable, you can make it into braised potatoes, fried shredded potatoes, cut potato slices and potato wedges, and so on.
For people who love potatoes in particular, it is really uncomfortable not to eat potatoes for a day. However, potatoes are high-starch foods, and excessive intake will be converted into glucose in the body, and a large amount of accumulation will be decomposed into fat, which is not conducive to the stability of blood lipids.
6.Cayenne peppers
People with high blood lipids must pay attention to eating less chili peppers, which will stimulate the sympathetic nerves and cause sympathetic nerve excitation, which in turn will lead to vasoconstriction and increased blood lipids.
In addition, eating chili pepper often can also cause damage to the stomach and intestines, cause constipation, and for patients with high blood lipids, constipation is very dangerous, so we must pay attention to it at ordinary times.
7.Pickles
Some elderly people feel that pickles have no fat and are particularly convenient to save money. If you also think that eating pickles can adjust blood lipids and control blood lipids, it is really a big mistake, eating pickles is more likely to lead to blood lipids and blood pressure, and even abnormal blood sugar.
Pickled food contains a large amount of sodium, sodium has a strong hydrophilicity, will absorb the water in the cells into the blood vessels, so that the blood pressure increases, for a long time, it will also increase the viscosity of the blood, blood lipids increase.
Keep your emotions under control:There are many people in life who are particularly bad in mood, often irritable and irritable, and this bad mood can easily increase blood pressure or blood lipids, which is not conducive to the stability of blood pressure and blood lipids, and bad emotions can easily lead to high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia.
Medications**:If necessary, lipid-lowering drugs such as fibrates, niacin or statins can be taken on the advice and guidance of your doctor, all of which can help stabilize blood lipid levels.
Keep moving:Insisting on exercise can achieve the best effect, and can promote metabolism, help eliminate excess toxins and garbage in the body, this is a very good lipid reduction method, so you should develop a good Xi habit of insisting on exercising in life, especially do more aerobic exercise, which has more benefits for the body.
