The total cholesterol in the physical examination report is high. What should I do?

High cholesterol has become an important hidden danger affecting health. When doing a blood lipid physical examination, we will draw blood to analyze the bleeding cholesterol level. Persistent high cholesterol levels will eventually lead to coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction. Today, Bian Xiao will talk to you about the cholesterol in the physical examination report.

What is cholesterol?

Cholesterol exists in lipoprotein in blood and plays a very important physiological role in the body. There is cholesterol on the cell membrane, which is a necessary raw material for the synthesis of various hormones and bile acids. Cholesterol is mainly divided into two categories: high density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-H) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).

Cholesterol is also divided into good and bad.

High density lipoprotein, also known as "good cholesterol", can protect blood vessels and eliminate plaques. Eating foods rich in unsaturated fat or soluble fiber, such as cereals, fruits and vegetables, can increase the content of high density lipoprotein.

Low-density lipoprotein, also known as "bad cholesterol", will deposit on the arterial wall of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases if the low-density lipoprotein in the blood rises, gradually forming atherosclerotic plaques, blocking the corresponding blood vessels, and eventually causing coronary heart disease and peripheral arterial diseases. Which foods are rich in low-density lipoprotein? Oily fat, animal offal, etc.

High total cholesterol level is easy to cause coronary heart disease.

Total cholesterol (TC) refers to the total content of cholesterol in all blood, which is generally about 3.00 ~ 5.20 mmol/L. The increase of total cholesterol means the increase of cholesterol in blood and the increase of blood viscosity, which is more likely to cause atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and other related diseases.

A variety of reasons can lead to an increase in total cholesterol levels.

Such as heredity, unscientific diet, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, alcoholism, irregular life and great mental stress.

What if the total cholesterol level is high? Control your diet and exercise properly!

1. Control diet

1) Use vegetable oils such as corn oil, peanut oil, linseed oil and vegetable oil instead of animal oil for cooking.

2) Eat more chickens, ducks, fish and shrimp (note: it is best to peel chickens and ducks), and eat less greasy fat and animal offal (pig brain, sheep brain, etc.). ).

3) Cheese and whole milk contain more saturated fat, so low-fat milk can be selected appropriately.

4) Choose cooking methods with less oil, such as steaming, stewing, boiling and stewing. It is best not to eat fried food such as French fries and cakes.

5) Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and replace some meat with bean products.

Proper exercise

If you don't have the habit of exercising at ordinary times, I suggest you start by exercising for 30 minutes five times a week. Recommended sports include walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, mountain climbing, various ball games, aerobics, Tai Ji Chuan and so on.

Summary:

After these efforts, no matter how you control your diet, increase your exercise and adjust your lifestyle, you still can't lower your cholesterol level. Then, I suggest you go to a regular hospital to seek the help of a specialist and use some lipid-lowering drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Friends with high cholesterol should check their blood lipids every three months or half a year to monitor the fluctuation of blood lipids. Early detection of problems and early intervention.
