What to eat for hyperlipidemia?
The definition of hyperlipidemia mainly depends on which type of lipid is elevated in the blood, the most common being hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Hypercholesterolemia is generally caused by abnormal metabolism in the body, and at this time, it is mainly necessary to take statin drugs to ensure that the blood lipids reach a normal value range. Because hypercholesterolemia usually accompanies hyper-low-density lipoproteinemia, the increase in low-density lipoprotein is damaging to the cardiovascular system. Another type of lipid disorder is hypertriglyceridemia, which in most cases is related to diet. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to advise the patient to follow a low-fat diet, and if the triglycerides are greater than 4.5 mmol/L, it is advisable for the patient to take fibrate drugs to reduce lipids. (Please take medication under the guidance of a professional physician.)
