Introduction:
With the improvement of people's living standards, the problem of hyperlipidemia has attracted more and more attention. Hyperlipidemia refers to the high content of blood lipid components such as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which has a negative impact on physical health. However, with reasonable diet and lifestyle Xi adjustment, hyperlipidemia can be effectively controlled. This article will share the experience of a 77-year-old man who successfully lowered blood lipids, revealing that the key to lowering blood lipids is not to exercise more, but to adhere to the following three things.
1. Reasonable diet: adjust the dietary structure and control calorie intake
The old man's name is Mr. Li, and he used to be a hyperlipidemia patient, and he successfully controlled his blood lipids within the normal range by adjusting his diet. His dietary principles mainly include the following:
1. Control total calorie intake: Mr. Li will control the total calorie intake of each meal according to his own situation and avoid overeating.
2. Increase dietary fiber intake: He will add more dietary fiber to his diet, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc., to help lower cholesterol and triglycerides.
3. Reduce saturated fat and trans fat intake: Mr. Li will avoid eating foods that contain a lot of saturated fat and trans fats, such as fried foods, puffed foods, etc.
4. Increase healthy fat intake: He will increase the intake of foods rich in unsaturated fats, such as fish, nuts, olive oil, etc., to lower cholesterol and triglycerides.
2. Moderate exercise: insist on aerobic exercise to improve cardiopulmonary function
While dietary modification is the key to lowering blood lipids, moderate exercise is just as important. Mr. Li insisted on doing aerobic exercise every day, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc., to improve cardiopulmonary function and metabolism. In addition, he does some strength training to build muscle strength and bone health.
Moderate exercise can help burn off excess body fat and cholesterol and reduce body weight and body fat percentage. At the same time, exercise can also improve cardiopulmonary function and enhance the health of the cardiovascular system. However, for the elderly, the intensity and time of exercise should be reasonably arranged according to their own conditions to avoid physical injuries caused by excessive exercise.
3. Maintain a healthy mindset: reduce stress and maintain good Xi habits
In addition to diet and exercise, maintaining a healthy mindset is also one of the important factors in lowering blood lipids. Mr. Li will use meditation, deep breathing, listening** and other ways to relax and reduce stress and anxiety. In addition, he will maintain a good routine Xi and ensure adequate sleep time and quality.
Maintaining a healthy mindset and good Xi habits can help the body maintain normal metabolic levels and immunity, which is conducive to controlling blood lipid levels. At the same time, a good routine Xi rest habits can also promote the repair and recovery of the body and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
