Foods that should be avoided for high blood lipid mainly include greasy foods. First, foods like braised pork and deep-fried dishes should be avoided. Second, it is best not to consume animal fats, and instead, opt for vegetable oils that contain unsaturated fatty acids. Third, animal organs are not recommended. The overall diet should be light, with an emphasis on eating more vegetables and fruits, which are more suitable.

Can people with hyperlipidemia eat peanuts?

People with high blood lipids can eat peanuts. Peanuts contain a rich amount of unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial to the human body in proper amounts. Firstly, they can regulate blood lipids, reduce some harmful cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, effectively control the concentration of blood lipids, and can increase the content of beneficial high-density lipoproteins. Secondly, they can help clear blood clots, remove or alleviate the harm caused by animal fats from food, especially visceral fats, and prevent these lipid components from depositing on the walls of blood vessels to combat the formation and development of arteriosclerosis. Additionally, studies have shown that supplementing with DHA (an unsaturated fatty acid) can also enhance some of the body's immunity and improve self-immune function. Furthermore, it has some effects on improving arthritis or alleviating pain. Therefore, consuming peanuts in moderation is beneficial to the human body. However, peanuts are also high in calories, and excessive intake can lead to overweight or obesity, so they should not be consumed in excess and should be eaten in moderation.

Early clinical symptoms of hyperlipidemia

Hyperlipidemia early on does not show specific clinical symptoms and is typically indicated by increased blood lipid levels during physical examinations. If it is not taken seriously and left untreated, long-term hyperlipidemia can lead to noticeable clinical symptoms. Mild cases may experience fatigue and weakness. Prolonged elevated blood lipid levels can cause the blood to become viscous and flow slowly, affecting the supply of blood to the heart, leading to palpitations and shortness of breath that worsen with activity. It can also affect blood supply to the brain, causing irritability, restless sleep, frequent nightmares, and even sleepiness. Therefore, it is crucial to treat hyperlipidemia actively upon diagnosis to prevent it from impacting the blood supply to vital organs.

Does hyperlipidemia cause dizziness?

Hyperlipidemia can cause dizziness. Hyperlipidemia involves the deposition of lipids on the endothelial lining of blood vessels, which is a primary consequence of abnormal blood lipids. This can lead to the onset and progression of atherosclerosis. For instance, low-density lipoproteins tend to deposit on arterial walls and are ingested by mononuclear giant cells. This situation can lead to arteriosclerosis, such as atherosclerosis of the cervical and intracranial arteries. This condition can result in insufficient blood supply to the brain, thereby causing dizziness. Therefore, hyperlipidemia can indeed cause dizziness.

Lipid profile tests include the following items:

In everyday life, many patients often suffer from hyperlipidemia. Therefore, when going to the hospital for evaluation of elevated blood lipids, it's important to pay attention to the following tests: First, get blood drawn for blood glucose and liver and kidney functions, as patients with high blood lipids often tend to have diabetes or problems related to glucose metabolism, Second, it's important to check blood pressure, as patients with high blood lipids also tend to develop hypertension, Third, it's important to undergo an arterial color Doppler ultrasound. Patients with high blood lipids are prone to arteriosclerosis, and arterial color Doppler ultrasound is a reliable diagnostic tool for detecting arteriosclerosis.

Symptoms and Hazards of Hyperlipidemia

Hyperlipidemia is a common disease in clinical settings, typically characterized by elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels. What are the symptoms of hyperlipidemia and what harm can it bring? Generally, hyperlipidemia does not exhibit prominent clinical symptoms, but a small portion of patients may experience nonspecific symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue. What are the harms of hyperlipidemia? The primary danger of hyperlipidemia often lies in causing, developing, and exacerbating arteriosclerotic diseases. Moreover, elevated triglycerides can increase the incidence of pancreatitis.
