Old Wang is 45 years old this year, a perfect time for enjoying family happiness and the joys of life. However, one day while on a business trip, Old Wang suddenly suffered a stroke and was rushed to the hospital. This put a burden on Mrs. Wang, who is a full-time housewife, as Old Wang’s serious illness added stress to the family. In fact, Old Wang’s high blood lipids are closely related to his daily diet, as many families still maintain such habits. Therefore, we need to pay attention to our blood lipid levels; once they remain elevated and develop into strokes or heart attacks, it will be too late.
Doctors remind: High blood lipids must avoid these 4 items
1. White meat
White meat is generally referred to as fatty meat, as fatty pork contains many trans fatty acids. Consuming these foods frequently can increase the lipid content in the blood vessels, easily leading to atherosclerosis and increasing cholesterol levels, which causes lipids to deposit in the vessels and can result in blockages.
2. High-sugar foods
Sugar can actually be converted into fat in the body, so eating too much sugar is equivalent to consuming too much fat, which can easily trigger elevated blood lipids. Many young people enjoy sweet foods, leading to a younger demographic of high blood lipid patients.
3. Alcoholic beverages
Alcohol can stimulate brain nerves, increase heart rate, and raise blood pressure, thereby exciting the sympathetic nervous system and increasing blood flow, which can easily cause vascular constriction and raise the risk of vascular diseases. Additionally, the components of alcohol can interfere with the normal metabolism of blood lipids, easily leading to elevated levels.
4. Fried foods
Fried foods contain a large amount of fat, which also contributes to increased blood lipids in the body. Whether it’s stir-fried dishes or fried foods, it is important to control the amount of oil consumed to better protect vascular health. Regularly eating these high-oil recipes can cause lipid metabolism disorders, not only raising blood lipid levels but also adversely affecting vascular function and increasing the risk of diseases.
High blood lipids can also manifest in the following ways:
1. Yellow spots on certain parts of the body
2. Decreased vision and frequent difficulty seeing clearly
3. Frequent calf cramps
4. Thyroid diseases
5. Formation of yellow tumors in the body
The “nemesis” of strokes is not onions, which can be consumed liberally to dissolve blood clots and nourish blood vessels.
After being sent to the hospital, Old Wang, although he was saved in time and out of danger, still needed to focus on regulating his blood lipids after discharge. The doctor advised him to drink more green plum, tangerine, and peach juice, adding a little when drinking water, which can help clear lipids from the vessels, lower blood lipids, and protect blood vessels. Old Wang’s daily habits gradually improved, and as his blood lipids slowly decreased.
Persist in two things to prevent blood lipids from rebounding
1. Maintain regular exercise
In daily study and life, take some time to exercise during work, which can effectively improve one’s immune function, consume calories and fat, and help lower blood lipid concentrations, thus protecting vascular health. This must be maintained in daily life and is beneficial for both physical and mental health.
2. Adjust your mindset
Many people with high blood lipids feel worried and anxious, often irritable, and quick to anger. Being in a negative emotional state can also affect blood lipid levels. If these negative emotions are continually amplified, they can impact lipid metabolism leading to elevated blood lipids. Therefore, we should try to maintain an optimistic mood and learn to relax.
