What to do if blood lipids are high

A person's blood lipids can reflect the quality of the blood in the body. Some people have thick blood lipids, and people with thick blood lipids need a certain degree of control and treatment. If blood lipids continue to thicken, blood vessel blockage may occur. Once blood vessels are blocked, it may be life-threatening. Therefore, people with high blood lipids must always pay attention to their eating habits. Let’s take a look at what to do if you have high blood lipids.

What to eat if you have high blood lipids

1. Ganoderma

Ganoderma lucidum used alone or in combination with lipid-lowering drugs can lower serum cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein, and increase high-density lipoprotein. At the same time, it can also reduce whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity and improve blood rheology disorders. The hepatoprotective effect of Ganoderma lucidum can prevent or alleviate liver damage caused by chemical synthetic lipid-regulating drugs. Ganoderma lucidum's ability to regulate blood lipids is the basis of its protective effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.

2. Fish

Fish contains very low levels of saturated fat, especially cold-water fish from the deep sea, which contains large amounts of W-3 fatty acids. Research by American scientists has shown that people who take W-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA supplements) have lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, blood viscosity, and it also has the effect of lowering blood pressure.

3. Fruits and vegetables

Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and water-soluble fiber can help lower cholesterol. Low-water soluble fiber (such as whole-wheat bran) can prevent constipation but does not help lower cholesterol. Foods containing water-soluble fiber include beans, dates, apples, figs, prunes, broccoli, oat bran, etc. Dried plums contain 60% soluble pectin, soybeans and their products have the same effect. Konjac foods also contain a lot of water-soluble fiber.

4. Garlic

American researchers have found that eating half a garlic clove (or a whole clove is better) a day can help some people lower their cholesterol by 10% and also lower blood pressure. The healthy active ingredient in garlic is alliin. Taking 900 mg of odorless garlic capsules daily has the same effect as eating garlic.

5. Onion

Onions can also lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and have the effect of reducing blood viscosity, which is quite similar to the drug aspirin.
