Dietary Principles for Patients with Hyperlipidemia

1. Most lipids in the human body come from food, so individuals with hyperlipidemia should practice dietary moderation. In their staple foods, they should incorporate some coarse grains, and for non-staple foods, prioritize fish, lean meat, beans and bean products, and various fresh vegetables and fruits. It is advisable to consume less refined foods, sweets, cream, chocolate, etc.

2. Foods such as kelp, seaweed, black fungus, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, and onions are beneficial for lowering blood lipids and preventing and treating atherosclerosis, so they can be consumed regularly. Milk should be consumed without cream and added sugar. In principle, egg consumption should not exceed one per day. When cooking, avoid frying and pan-frying.

3. Use vegetable oil for cooking and eat fewer fried foods. Consume fewer peanuts, as they contain a significant amount of oil, but walnut kernels, melon seeds, and other nuts can be eaten.

4. Individuals with high cholesterol should consume less foods high in cholesterol, such as egg yolks, meat (especially fatty meat), animal offal, chicken skin, duck skin, shrimp skin, roe, and brain. Those with high triglycerides should avoid sugar and sweets, and should also limit their total food intake.

5. Dietary treatment should be persistent, and lipid-lowering medications should be taken under the guidance of a physician.

6. Actively participate in physical exercise and persevere to facilitate fat consumption. For medication, drugs such as Clofibrate, Fenofibrate, Inositol Nicotinate, Linoleic Acid, Mu Tong, and Yi Shou Ning can be used, but they must be taken persistently under a physician's guidance to be effective.
