Blood lipids are the general name for cholesterol , triglycerides and lipids in serum. The main components of blood lipids are triglycerides and cholesterol. General health examination Blood lipid examination mainly detects the following four indicators: 1. Total cholesterol (TC); 2. Triglyceride (TG); 3. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C); 4. Low-density lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C).
Hyperlipidemia is more harmful to the human body and is currently recognized as a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Because the main harm of high blood lipids is damage to arteries and blood vessels, it will accelerate atherosclerosis throughout the body, thereby causing coronary heart disease , myocardial infarction, hypertension , cerebral infarction and other serious diseases. So where does the fat (triglyceride) in the blood come from? To put it simply, it is actually caused by the imbalance of absorption and consumption. Therefore, it is recommended that friends with high blood lipids pay attention to the following points.
-
Friends with high blood lipids, what should we pay attention to?
The first point is regular physical examination. Pay attention to the two indicators LDL-C and total cholesterol in the observation report. You can also pay attention to whether there are patches of different sizes on your face when you look in the mirror. They are usually a little higher than the skin, have irregular borders, are yellow or orange, and are often found around the eyelids. This is a symptom that is easily recognized clinically. These plaques are caused by "excess" lipid deposition in the body.
二
High-risk groups with high blood lipids
The following are high-risk groups with high blood lipids. It is recommended to check blood lipids once every 3-6 months: (1) People with coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, , cerebral infarction, etc. Heart and brain Patients with vascular disease . (2) Patients who have undergone cardiac stent surgery and bypass surgery. (3) Someone in the family was diagnosed with coronary heart disease or other atherosclerotic diseases at a young age. (4) familial hypercholesterolemia patients. (5) Those with xanthomas on the skin. (6) Those with irregular living and eating habits.
In short, if you frequently experience blurred vision, frequent dizziness, chest tightness and shortness of breath, afternoon drowsiness, memory loss , numbness and heaviness in your hands and feet, cramps in your legs and feet, etc., this is your body’s reminder that your blood lipids have increased, and you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Check it out.
| Secondly, pay attention to a balanced diet. Everyone knows that eating fruits and vegetables is good for them. In fact, many friends who suffer from hyperlipidemia are caused by misunderstandings in their diet, such as partial eclipse, overeating, vegetarian diet, etc. These are all Harmful to the body. We can absorb various nutrients from different ingredients, so we should increase the variety and distribute them appropriately. You can make your own calculations. If you don’t eat more than twenty kinds of ingredients in two weeks, it means that the diet structure is relatively monotonous and you need to pay attention to adjustments.
Finally, consistent exercise also has a positive effect on lowering blood lipids. Studies have shown that aerobic exercise can help regulate blood cholesterol levels, reduce "bad cholesterol" and increase "good cholesterol". However, patients who cannot lower their blood lipids through diet and exercise need to seek medical treatment promptly, take lipid-lowering drugs as directed by the doctor, and do not allow the disease to progress.
