High blood lipids are a health problem faced by more and more middle-aged and elderly people in modern society. How to regulate hyperlipidemia has become the focus of everyone's attention. This article will give you a detailed introduction to how to manage high blood lipids through diet control, improving bad lifestyle habits, and a low-salt and low-fat diet, so that you can easily grasp the secrets of a healthy life.
Hyperlipidemia, i.e., high levels of lipids in the blood, is an important risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular discomfort. Hyperlipidemia can lead to atherosclerosis, causing serious discomfort such as coronary heart disease and stroke. Therefore, understanding and controlling hyperlipidemia is crucial to the health of middle-aged and older adults.
How to regulate hyperlipidemia through dietary control
A low-fat diet is the key to controlling high blood lipids. Choose foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts and vegetable oils, rather than foods rich in saturated fats, such as lard fatty meats.
High-cholesterol foods can increase blood lipid levels and should be avoided as much as possible. Foods such as egg yolks have high levels of cholesterol and should be controlled within appropriate ranges.
Increasing your intake of dietary fiber can help lower cholesterol levels. Foods rich in dietary fiber include whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits. Daily intake of adequate dietary fiber can help control blood lipids.
High-sugar foods not only cause an increase in blood sugar, but also promote fat synthesis in the body, which increases blood lipid levels. The intake of sweets, sweetened beverages and pastries should be reduced.
Improve bad lifestyle habits
1. Exercise moderately
Exercise helps to increase the body's metabolism and promote the breakdown and utilization of fat. Middle-aged and elderly people can choose walking, swimming, tai chi and other exercises that suit them, and do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week.
2. Control your weight
Overweight and obesity are one of the important factors leading to hyperlipidemia. Maintaining a healthy weight through a scientifically sound diet and proper exercise is essential to control blood lipid levels.
3. Quit smoking and limit alcohol
Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can cause dyslipidemia and should be avoided as much as possible. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol can not only help control blood lipids, but also prevent many chronic discomforts.
4. Stay in a good mood
Psychological stress affects the endocrine system, which in turn affects blood lipid levels. Middle-aged and elderly people should learn to relax themselves and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, which helps to regulate blood lipids.
In addition to the above-mentioned diet control and lifestyle improvement, TCM health preservation is also a way to regulate hyperlipidemia. Among herbaceous plants, Dendrobium officinale has attracted widespread attention for its significant lipid-lowering effect. The following will introduce in detail the role and specific application methods of Dendrobium officinalis.
Dendrobium officinale, also known as maple bucket, belongs to the genus Dendrobium in the orchid family. It grows in tropical and subtropical regions and is mostly epiphytic on rocks and trees. Dendrobium officinale has been regarded as a good nourishing product since ancient times, and has the reputation of "life-saving fairy grass". Modern studies have shown that Dendrobium officinale is rich in a variety of bioactive components, such as dendrobine, active polysaccharides, amino acids, minerals, etc., which have a variety of health effects. Its main effects include nourishing and clearing heat, nourishing the stomach and rejuvenating the body, strengthening the body, etc., and has a significant effect on regulating high blood lipids.
The lipid-lowering effect of Dendrobium officinale is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Lowers cholesterol levels: The active ingredients in Dendrobium officinale reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of atherosclerosis. Studies have shown that the dendrobine and polysaccharide components in Dendrobium officinale have significant effect on regulating blood lipids, inhibiting the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, and promoting the decomposition and excretion of cholesterol.
Reduces triglycerides: Dendrobium officinale can significantly reduce blood triglyceride levels. High triglycerides are an important factor causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular discomfort, and Dendrobium officinale can prevent cardiovascular discomfort by regulating lipid metabolism, promoting fat decomposition and utilization, and reducing triglycerides.
The specific application method of Dendrobium officinalis
Dendrobium officinale can be used in a variety of ways, and here are a few common ways to use it:
Boil water for drinking: After slicing the dendrobium, boil it with water for 15-20 minutes, and take the juice to drink. This method is simple and convenient, and is suitable for daily health care. Drink once or twice a day to regulate blood lipid levels.
Tea drinking: Put the dendrobium slices into a teacup, pour in boiling water, and simmer for 5-10 minutes before drinking. Dendrobium officinale tea has a fragrant taste and has multiple effects such as lipid-lowering, stomach nourishment, and shengjin, making it an ideal daily health drink.
Stewed soup: Dendrobium officinale can also be stewed with other ingredients, such as chicken, pork ribs, fish, etc., which not only increases the nourishing effect of the soup, but also makes the nutrients of Dendrobium better absorbed by the human body. Stewed soup is consumed once a week to improve the body's immunity and regulate blood lipids.
If you want to get a nourishing effect with Dendrobium, but don't know how to choose the right one, I have had the same confusion. Through many field visits and in-depth understanding, I have selected three high-quality Dendrobium officinale with high cost performance and good quality on the market for your reference and choice.
