"I'm only in my 30s. How can I have dyslipidemia? Aren't that old people?"
"As you get older, who can't have higher blood fat? It's not fatal!"
……
Do you think so?
But what if I tell you that hyperlipidemia really kills people?
Hyperlipidemia is not "it doesn't matter", but "it really matters"!
The blood fat does not drop. The doctor agreed with this.
High blood fat is more bad fat in the blood, and its damage to the body is accomplished by blocking blood vessels.
These bad fats, which are higher than the normal value, form small plaques on the inner wall of the blood vessels, and increase and increase with time, making the blood vessels hard and narrow, and even blocking the blood vessels.
Therefore, wherever there is blood vessel blockage, there is disease.
If the blockage occurs in the heart, it will cause coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction;
If the blockage occurs in the brain, there will be a stroke;
Blockage occurs in the blood vessels of the fundus of the eye, which will lead to loss of vision or even blindness;
Blockage occurs in the kidney, which can cause renal arteriosclerosis and renal failure;
Blockage occurs in the lower extremities, which may lead to limb necrosis and ulceration.
At the same time, dyslipidemia can also induce gallstones, pancreatitis, aggravate hepatitis, and lead to male sexual dysfunction, senile dementia, etc.
After reading this picture, you won't feel that "high blood fat is not a fatal problem".
Which is not a serious or even fatal disease!
What do you think of it? Look at your face!
Most people with dyslipidemia are really painless before they develop into the serious problems mentioned above.
But if you pay close attention, some people still have some symptoms. Because too much lipid will also deposit in other parts of the body, which will cause some changes in those parts. These changes must be noted:
Xanthoma of eyelid
That is, when too much lipid deposits on the skin, it can cause localized skin swelling, which is in the form of yellow, orange, brownish red patches or papules. It is called xanthoma, which is most common around the eyelids.
Corneal ring of eye
A white ring appears at the edge of the black eye, which is more common with the age. 10.7% of people over 30 years old can see it, while 50.1% of people between 40 and 80 years old can see it. This white ring is the cholesterol deposited on the cornea.
Calf cramp
The cramps caused by dyslipidemia are often accompanied by chills and numbness in the lower legs.
Blur
This is caused by temporary ischemia and hypoxia of the optic nerve or retina caused by hyperlipidemia.
Black spots on skin
In a short time, there are many black spots on the face and hands (the patches are slightly larger and darker than the old ones)
Dizziness
This kind of dizziness is manifested by feeling not clear after getting up in the morning, which can be improved after breakfast; It is easy to get sleepy in the afternoon, but it is very awake at night.
These people should pay special attention. Just draw blood
The trend of hyperlipidemia is becoming more and more obvious, so the doctor's advice is to take blood to check blood lipids from the age of 20.
If you can't do this, you must check the blood lipids in the following cases:
Have coronary heart disease or stroke;
Diabetes, hypertension, smoking, obesity;
Those who have a family history of coronary heart disease or angiosclerotic disease, especially those who have early onset coronary heart disease (male before 55 years old, female before 65 years old) or other angiosclerotic diseases in their immediate relatives;
Someone at home has hyperlipidemia;
Men over 40 years old and postmenopausal women;
People with skin xanthoma.
Reduce blood fat, remember the 16-word formula
We have high blood fat. What we need to do is to stop the car in time. Remember the 16-word formula: reasonable diet, proper exercise, weight control, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction.
Here are two more courses of lipid-lowering tea:
Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea
Gynostemma pentaphyllum can significantly reduce serum cholesterol, triacylglycerol, low density lipoprotein and increase high density lipoprotein (good cholesterol).
Method: grind it into powder and then flush it. Take 2 to 5 grams of tea each time, 2 to 3 times a day.
If it is taken by boiling water, it should be 10-15g a day, divided into three times.
Cassia seed tea
In addition to the effect of clearing the liver and brightening the eyes known by ordinary people, it also has the function of lowering blood fat.
Practice: It depends on 10 grams of each of Mingzi and Hangzhou chrysanthemum, 15 grams of each of wolfberry and ginseng, and an appropriate amount of honey.
Fry the first four flavors of soup and drink them with honey.
