High blood lipids, solving the problem of lipid reduction: in-depth analysis of the three misunderstandings to help you easily lower lipids!
As a representative of modern civilization, dyslipidemia has seriously threatened the health of our country. According to the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Dyslipidemia in China", the number of people with dyslipidemia in China has reached 200 million, and dyslipidemia has become the second major risk factor for cardiovascular disease among Chinese residents. However, in the process of lipid lowering, many patients have misunderstandings, resulting in poor lipid lowering effect. This article will deeply analyze the three major lipid-lowering myths to help you easily reduce fat.
Myth 1: High blood lipids are eaten.
Many people think that high blood lipids are caused by eating, and as long as they eat less greasy food, they can lower blood lipids. In fact, the causes of dyslipidemia are varied, and in addition to dietary factors, they are also related to various factors such as genetics, age, and lifestyle. Therefore, it is not enough to reduce fat by simply adjusting the diet.
The way to solve it: comprehensively understand the causes of dyslipidemia and reduce lipids in a targeted manner. In terms of diet, it is necessary to follow the principles of low fat, low sugar, low salt and high fiber, and at the same time ensure balanced nutrition. In terms of lifestyle, it is necessary to develop good habits of regular work and rest, adequate sleep, and moderate exercise. In addition, for hereditary dyslipidemia, medications** may be needed to achieve lipid-lowering goals.
Myth 2: If the blood lipid drops to the normal range, the drug can be stopped.
Some patients stop the drug on their own after the blood lipid reaches the standard, thinking that the blood lipid can be used if it returns to normal. In fact, the blood lipid target is only a stage of lipid reduction, and after the drug is stopped, the blood lipid is likely to rise again.
The way to solve the problem: After the blood lipid reaches the standard, the dose should be gradually reduced or adjusted under the guidance of the doctor, and the drug cannot be stopped without authorization. Long-term adherence to lipid lowering** can effectively prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
Myth 3: Focus only on cholesterol and ignore other indicators.
Many patients find high cholesterol during physical examination, so they pay too much attention to the reduction of cholesterol and ignore other blood lipid indicators. In fact, dyslipidemia includes cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and other indicators, and only by fully controlling these indicators can we effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The solution: a comprehensive understanding of the various indicators of blood lipid examination, pay attention to the balance of cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C and HDL-C. In the process, it is necessary to formulate a reasonable plan according to the personal situation, and not only focus on a certain indicator.
Summary: High blood lipids are not terrible, but what is terrible is the misunderstanding of lipid lowering. Only by understanding the causes of dyslipidemia, following a scientific diet and lifestyle, and adhering to long-term ** can we effectively reduce blood lipids and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. Let's work together to solve the problem of lipid reduction and move towards a healthy life!
