Do you know? There is a disease that comes silently and secretly, and is known as the "silent killer". It is one of the famous "three highs" - hyperlipidemia! Of course, hyperlipidemia is just a common name, medically known as "hyperlipidemia".
Long-term high blood lipids can easily accelerate atherosclerosis and trigger the formation of arterial plaques, causing blood vessel blockage. This can lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke, coronary heart disease, etc. In severe cases, it can even be life-threatening, so hyperlipidemia still has a great impact on the body.
How much do you know about blood lipids ?
[What is the normal index of blood lipids? 】
In the absence of cardiovascular risk factors, the normal range of blood lipids in young people is cholesterol at 2.56-5.17mmol/L, triglyceride at 0.56-1.7mmol/L.
Clinically, there are secondary prevention standards for people who suffer from certain diseases, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension , cerebral infarction, that is, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Cholesterol should be controlled below 4.6 mmol/L, and low-density lipoprotein should be controlled below 2.6 mmol/L, or a more stringent standard should be below 1.8 mmol/L. Cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein should be controlled >1.0mmol/L.
[What indicators should we look at for blood lipids? 】
The main indicators of blood lipids are cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol , blood lipid examination mainly looks at these four items.
If hyperlipidemia occurs, it generally refers to hypertriglyceridemia , hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia, which includes both hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia.
Generally, if you are overweight or have poor regulation of high-density lipoprotein, you will easily develop high blood lipids, which will easily cause patients to have metabolic and regulatory problems. You need to take medicine to lower blood lipids, reduce the chance of getting sick, and keep exercising.
These 4 signals on the face are mostly due to high blood lipids. Check them out as soon as possible
Signal 1. Wrinkles appear on the bridge of the nose
The nose is located in the center of the facial features. There is a saying that "the nose is the bridge on the human face", and people with high blood lipids will have an obvious wrinkle on the bridge of the nose.
The longer the time, the more obvious the wrinkles will be. Once you find an obvious wrinkle on the bridge of your nose, it means that your blood lipids are high. You must stay vigilant and beware of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Signal 2: There are lipomas around the eyes
If the blood in the human body is too thick, it will affect the blood circulation of the whole body. Therefore, the blood supply to the eyes will also be affected to a certain extent, and the triglycerides in the blood will also increase with the increase in blood lipids.
If these substances are deposited in the fundus arteries, lipomas will appear around the eyes, and gray rings will appear on the edges of the eyeballs. Many people also call this "senile rings." Thick blood can cause retinal ischemia, leading to vision loss and blurred vision.
Signal 3: Facial spots are aggravated
As age increases, the body’s metabolic capacity is not as good as before. At this time, some toxins and harmful substances accumulate in the body, which may precipitate on the surface of the human skin and cause spots.
However, as age increases, these spots will gradually deepen and the area will become larger, and they will slowly turn into age spots.
In addition, if there is an aggravation of facial spots, it may also be related to a further increase in blood lipids. Please do not take it lightly.
Signal 4: There are ear folds in the earlobe
If there are ear folds in the ear lobe, it is called the ear fold heart sign, which is manifested by a wrinkle growing on the ear lobe, at an angle of about 45 degrees, all the way to the edge of the ear lobe.
If you find that you have such ear folds in both ears, it is best not to ignore it. It may be a symptom of high blood lipids, or arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, insufficient blood supply to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels, etc.
According to research, about 74% of people with hyperlipidemia combined with heart disease have earlobe folds.
What should I do if my blood lipids are high? It is key to do 4 points well
Exercise is the most effective way to reduce blood lipids. During exercise, it can not only burn excess fat in the body, but also burn high blood lipids in blood vessels, help reduce the viscosity of blood lipids, and thus quickly lower blood lipids.
Whether you are young or middle-aged and old, if you have high blood lipids, you can choose an exercise method that suits you to lower your blood lipids. As long as you can continue to exercise for two or three months, you can see obvious results.
Overweight or obesity can easily cause blood lipid metabolism disorders, leading to increased blood lipid levels. Studies have found that when obese or overweight participants actively lose weight, their "bad cholesterol" levels will also decrease.
Research from the University of Maryland School of Medicine found that active exercise and weight loss can reduce blood triglyceride levels by 20% to 30%.
Correct treatment is very critical after hyperlipidemia is discovered. During the treatment process, you need to stay away from tobacco and alcohol. Many people smoke and drink regularly. Habits such as smoking and drinking heavily for a long time can easily lead to worsening of hyperlipidemia.
You can learn the correct method to quit smoking and drinking, and stay away from the harm caused by smoking and drinking, which is usually beneficial to disease control. To reduce the risk of hyperlipidemia, you should stay away from tobacco and alcohol and maintain good living habits.
. Appropriately increase protein and low animal fat foods, such as fish, chicken, eggs, lean meat and soy products.
staple food thickness matching. Choose more coarsely processed cereals such as whole grains, oats, and corn to increase the intake of dietary fiber and B vitamins.
Eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement dietary fiber, such as eggplant, mushrooms, fungus, kelp, hawthorn, apple, etc. It is recommended to eat 400~500g of vegetables and 200~400g of fruits every day.
Extension: 4 Fruits help reduce blood lipids. You can eat more
Autumn is the season for grapefruit picking. Recently, you often see people selling grapefruit on the street. The nutritional value of grapefruit is very high. It contains a large amount of vitamin , which has a certain effect on lowering blood pressure.
Moreover, fresh grapefruit contains insulin ingredients, which can also achieve the effect of lowering blood sugar and reduce the occurrence of atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia. Therefore, patients with daily hyperlipidemia can also use grapefruit to help blood vessel health.
Hawthorn contains triterpenoids, bioflavonoids and rich vitamin C, which can expand blood vessel walls, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, and lower blood pressure .
In addition, it also contains maslinic acid and citric acid , both of which have significant blood-lipid-lowering effects. However, some elderly people may cause gastric discomfort such as acid reflux when eating hawthorn, so they must be used with caution. Hawthorn contains the highest calcium content and is beneficial to middle-aged and elderly people.
Kiwi fruit is a fruit rich in vitamin C. Kiwi fruit tastes sour and sweet, and can supplement the body with rich vitamins and nutrients.
Kiwi fruit can also clear away heat and quench thirst, preventing dry mouth and tongue. Eating a little kiwi fruit can also prevent oral ulcers.
Certain nutrients in kiwi fruit can effectively clean up toxins and garbage in blood vessels, promote blood circulation, and assist in lowering blood lipids.
