Three highs, namely hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, are the leading causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular illness, and elevated blood lipids are a common pathological hallmark in this group. Elderly persons in the three-high group cannot successfully lower blood lipids by not eating meat. This is because the three-high population's high blood fat may be due to improper metabolism and hereditary variables such as genetic mutations, or it may be due to food, illness, weight, and so on. These elements are interconnected.
Simply not eating meat reduces external lipid consumption but has little effect on endogenous hyperlipidemia. Furthermore, human blood lipids comprise cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids, and other substances that are not entirely equal to the dietary fats found in meat. As a result, the elderly of the three-high population appropriately reduce their intake of fat and other meats, which may be beneficial to the control of blood lipids in the body to some extent, but if you don't eat meat alone, you can't effectively reduce blood lipids, particularly cholesterol and low density.
Cholesterol, on the other hand, may contribute to a lack of nourishment in the body owing to a lack of meat consumption. If you want to properly decrease your blood lipids, you must first address three issues: food, activity, and medicine.
1. Diet:
It should be light and healthy, with a focus on avoiding high-fat meals like lard, bacon, and animal offal to limit exogenous lipids. To ensure the body's intake of high-quality protein and calories, it is recommended to consume vegetable oil, soy products, fish, and red meat.
2. Exercise:
People who have three highs should continue to exercise modestly in order to regulate their weight and lessen the stress on their body circulation. It is recommended to exercise 3-5 times a week, with each session consisting of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise such as jogging or swimming.
3. Drug treatment:
Statins, such as lovastatin and atorvastatin, are frequently used therapeutically to decrease cholesterol and low-density cholesterol, and can be coupled with fibrates to lower triglycerides, such as bezafibrate. Surgery can be done to reduce weight in people with extreme obesity if necessary.
