People with high blood lipids, if they do not have significant heart or lung disease, can participate in some aerobic exercises: such as swimming, tennis, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and square dancing. These exercises are aerobic and can help with weight loss. Exercise can consume excess body fat and lower blood lipids. It also enhances heart vitality, improves vascular elasticity, increases blood flow, and increases lung capacity, enhancing physical resistance and overall physical fitness, which can also help to reduce blood lipids.

What medicine should I take to lower blood lipids for hyperlipidemia?

Hyperlipidemia is currently a common and frequently occurring disease in clinical practice. Persistent elevation of blood lipids can cause certain damage to the body. Currently, there are many lipid-modifying and lipid-lowering medications used clinically, including statin-based Western medicines, as well as some traditional Chinese patent medicines. Additionally, some herbal teas and herbal decoctions can also be used to achieve the purpose of lowering lipids. The choice of medication should be made under the guidance of a doctor. Apart from using medication, it is also important to pay attention to dietary adjustments, adopting a diet low in fat, salt, and oil, while also increasing physical exercise and reducing weight.

What medicine should I take for hyperlipidemia?

In clinical practice, the basic tests for blood lipids include total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. When hyperlipidemia is diagnosed, the first approach is to implement comprehensive treatment measures, starting with therapeutic lifestyle changes, which are fundamental and primary measures for controlling abnormal blood lipids. Medication should be used when necessary, strictly according to indications, and with careful monitoring of adverse drug reactions. The main categories of lipid-lowering drugs include: first, statins, such as atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin, and pitavastatin; second, fibrates, such as fenofibrate and bezafibrate; third, niacin; and fourth, bile acid sequestrants. (The use of these drugs should be under the guidance of a doctor.)

What should be paid attention to for hyperlipidemia?

What should be noted for hyperlipidemia? First, maintain regular life habits, avoid staying up late, smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating. Try to avoid consuming animal offal, fatty meats, fried foods, and foods high in cholesterol. Opt for easily digestible and high dietary fiber foods, and consume more vegetables and fruits to help lower blood lipids. Additionally, under the guidance of a doctor, medication that regulates blood lipids should be used. Common medications include rosuvastatin, atorvastatin, fenofibrate, and Xuezhikang, which should be routinely used to maintain blood lipids within a normal range.

Can people with hyperlipidemia eat walnuts?

People with hyperlipidemia can eat walnuts. Primarily, walnuts contain unsaturated fatty acids, which can lower plasma cholesterol levels, low-density lipoprotein levels, and increase high-density lipoprotein levels in the blood. However, as these unsaturated fatty acids are high in calories, excessive intake can lead to overweight or obesity. Therefore, even the unsaturated fatty acids in the diet should not be consumed in excess. Thus, people with hyperlipidemia can eat walnuts, but they should not consume them in large quantities. Moderate consumption is advised, as excessive intake could lead to excessive calories, causing obesity or overweight.
