The 'root' of high blood lipids is not just oil. Reminder: Eat less of 3 kinds of food and do more of 3 things

Relevant data show that there are more than 400 million people with dyslipidemia in China.

What is more noteworthy is that more and more people aged 30-50 have also become the "main force" of dyslipidemia, so not only middle-aged and elderly people, but also young people should actively prevent the occurrence of hyperlipidemia.

There are 4 manifestations in the body, which may be due to excessive blood lipids

1: Leg cramps. If you have sudden and frequent cramps recently, you should also pay attention to whether the blood lipid level exceeds the normal standard, because too much lipid will cause cholesterol to accumulate in the muscles of the legs, causing the muscles to contract, and the legs are prone to cramps.

Another reason is that elevated blood lipids will affect the blood supply to the legs and easily cause cramps.

2: Xanthelasma. This is a nodule formed on the eyelid, usually yellow or orange, which is caused by lipid deposition in the blood.

3: Dizziness and drowsiness. Frequent dizziness, drowsiness, and unclear brain after waking up may be caused by elevated blood lipids, because high blood lipids will affect normal blood delivery. Once the head is hypoxic and ischemic, this phenomenon will occur.

4: Elderly ring. The senile ring is a ring formed on the cornea by the slow penetration of blood lipids, which is white or off-white, and will become darker as the disease progresses.

When talking about hyperlipidemia, most people think that they must be eating too much oil;

In fact, after eating too much high-cholesterol food and high-fat food, especially fried food, the blood will become more viscous.

Fried food, in particular, not only affects blood viscosity, but also tends to generate high levels of trans fatty acids, which strongly stimulate blood vessels. Once blood vessels are damaged, lipid deposition will accelerate and blood lipids will increase.

However, this is not the only risk factor for elevated blood lipid levels.

The "root" of high blood lipids is not just oil. Reminder: Eat less of 3 kinds of food and do more of 3 things

3 foods to eat less

1: Foods with high sugar content

Although the body needs a certain amount of sugar to maintain energy, it should not consume too much sugar.

Because a large amount of sugar enters the body and cannot be broken down in time, it will be converted into a large amount of fat and accumulate in the body, which is not only easy to cause obesity, but also not conducive to the health of blood vessels.

Another point is that eating too much sugar can easily lead to dehydration, increase blood viscosity, and increase blood lipid levels.

2: Foods that contain a lot of cholesterol

Cholesterol is often referred to as a "double-edged sword." Too little of it in the body prevents it from functioning normally, but neither does too much.

Because a large amount of cholesterol entering the body will increase the blood lipid level of the body, these lipids gradually accumulate, and accumulate on the blood vessel wall to form atherosclerotic plaque. If the plaque ruptures or falls off, the blood vessel may be blocked. Therefore, foods with more cholesterol should be eaten less.

3: Alcoholic food

Regardless of the alcohol content in wine, it can cause damage to blood vessels.

When alcohol enters the body, it will stimulate the sympathetic nerves to be in an excited state, increase the blood pressure level, damage the health of blood vessels, and is not conducive to the stability of blood lipids.

After drinking alcohol, when the alcohol is catabolized, it will also form a large amount of acetaldehyde, which will hinder the excretion of metabolic toxins in the blood, make the blood more viscous, and blood lipids may also increase accordingly.

Therefore, to maintain the stability of blood lipids, it is still necessary to drink less.

3 things to do more

Item 1: Have some tea if you’re okay

We all know that drinking water is good for blood circulation and metabolism. If you can put some small plants that are good for maintaining blood vessels when drinking water, it may double the effect.

Chrysanthemum: It is helpful to dilute the viscous blood and improve the current situation of blood viscosity;

Cassia: Helps slow down the formation of blood clots;

Honeysuckle: Helps maintain blood vessel elasticity and stabilize blood lipid and blood pressure;

Using these three small plants that help clear blood vessels together with burdock root and sweet-scented osmanthus to soak in water has a better auxiliary effect on clearing blood vessels and maintaining blood vessels.

[If you find it troublesome and don’t want to mix it yourself, you can try the same tea bag, the formula is scientific and reasonable. 】

No. 2: Stick to an exercise

Most people nowadays sit for a day, but this behavior will slow down the blood circulation, making it easier to raise blood lipids and form blood clots.

Adhering to an exercise can make the blood circulate better, increase the body's metabolism speed, thereby reducing the precipitation of lipids in the blood and protecting the health of blood vessels.

Exercise should be carried out on the premise of not damaging the body and not being overly fatigued. Generally, it is enough to exercise until the body sweats slightly.

3 pieces: regular inspections must not be less

Regardless of whether it is a patient with hyperlipidemia or not, the detection of blood lipid levels cannot be ignored.

People between the ages of 20 and 40 should have their blood lipid levels tested at least every 5 years;

If you are over 40 years old, or women have gone through menopause, it is best to test once a year;

People who have developed atherosclerosis, or high-risk groups with hyperlipidemia, it is best to test their blood lipid levels every 3-6 months.

Attention should be paid before the examination: do not eat breakfast on the day of blood drawing; do not exercise vigorously for 2-3 days before the examination; the elderly do not exercise in the morning on the day of the examination; those who have a cold should perform blood lipid testing after recovery.
