When it comes to heart arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, and related liver problems, it's important to understand that medication and diet are two key factors. Especially for those who take statins and have liver damage, how can they maintain heart health and protect the liver?
Learn about statins, which play an important role in lowering blood lipids and preventing coronary atherosclerosis. However, they need to be metabolized by the liver, and long-term use may cause a burden on the liver and even lead to problems such as fatty liver. Therefore, for those patients who have already developed liver damage, it is particularly important to choose a program that can reduce blood lipids without increasing the burden on the liver. At this point, lipid-lowering injections become an option worth considering.
Unlike traditional statins, lipid-lowering injections do not need to be metabolized by the liver, thus avoiding the risk of liver damage. Moreover, in terms of effect, the lipid-lowering effect of lipid-lowering injections is even better than that of statins, which can reduce blood lipids by up to 50%-60%, far exceeding the lipid-lowering effect of statins by 30%-40%.
Lipid-lowering injections also have their limitations, and there are two kinds of lipid-lowering injections on the market, one is relatively high for one injection in half a year; The other is a two-week shot** that is relatively inexpensive, but either one you choose requires a continuous injection. In addition, although the *** of lipid-lowering injections has not yet been clarified, it still needs to be closely monitored.
In addition to medications**, diet is also an important means of controlling blood lipids. High-fat foods such as eggs and meat should be consumed in moderation, especially for those patients who cannot tolerate statins, as too many high-fat foods can increase the burden on the liver. Therefore, eating two eggs a week and choosing lean meat and other white meat is a more suitable dietary plan.
Whether you're choosing medications** or making dietary changes, you should keep one principle in mind: keep your blood lipids within the normal range while avoiding liver damage. Only in this way can the health of the heart and blood vessels and the protection of the liver be truly realized.
Of course, each person's situation is unique, and the specific ** plan needs to be adjusted according to individual differences. But maintaining a healthy lifestyle, a reasonable diet, and proper exercise are all things that everyone should strive to practice, and only then can they truly maximize their physical health.
