Adjust diet structure, improve lifestyle, drug treatment. (1) The principle of regulating diet structure: limit the intake of foods rich in fat and cholesterol; Choose low-fat food (vegetable oil, yogurt); Increase vitamins and fiber (fruits, vegetables, bread and cereals) (2) The daily diet structure of normal elderly people: an egg and a banana; A bowl of milk (not necessarily with sugar, but also with yogurt and milk powder); 500g of fruits and vegetables (multiple varieties can be selected); 100g clean meat, including fish, poultry, livestock and other meats (calculated by edible parts); 50g of bean products (including tofu, yuba, thousands of pieces, bean cakes and all kinds of bean processed products, such as bean paste, bean paste and boiled whole beans); About 500 grams of grain (including rice, flour, miscellaneous grains, roots and sugar); Drink soup every day, one bowl for each meal. (3) Foods with hypolipidemic effect: garlic (65438+ 0~2 pieces of sweet and sour garlic on an empty stomach in the morning), ginger, eggplant, hawthorn, persimmon, auricularia auricula, milk, etc. (4) Examples of diet therapy for hyperlipidemia patients: breakfast, 200ml soybean milk, 50g steamed cake, cooked soybean10g; Chinese food, standard flour and corn flour100g, rice porridge 50g, lean pork 20g, fried green pepper100g, fried beans100g; For dinner, rice150g, Chinese cabbage100g, boiled tofu 50g, vermicelli10g, carp 20g and shredded potatoes100g. All-day cooking oil 12g. (5) improve lifestyle a. lose weight: obesity is excess fat and an external sign of atherosclerosis. B. Quitting smoking: Nicotine and carbon monoxide in tobacco cause and aggravate the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. C. controlling alcohol: drinking less is good for the human body, and drinking more is harmful. Wine is high in calories, and drinking more will aggravate obesity. D. aerobic exercise.

8. Appropriate exercise for the elderly

Whether the amount of exercise is appropriate is calculated by the heart rate, which is kept at (220- age) ×(60%-85%). Sports suitable for the elderly include Tai Ji Chuan, Qigong, jogging, fast walking, slow cycling, swimming, mountain climbing, aerobics for the elderly, gateball, badminton and walking backwards. The best time to exercise in a day: 5 am, the amount of exercise should not be too large, and it should be kept light to medium intensity; 10 in the morning is the best exercise opportunity in a day, and 16~ 17 in the afternoon is the most suitable exercise time for losing weight. 0.5~ 1 hour before dinner, at this time, walking (or brisk walking) and doing health gymnastics are beneficial to the treatment of diabetes. At the same time, we should pay attention to mental health and maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude towards life.

9. Drug therapy

In the early 1990s, the international medical community conducted a large-scale study on lipid-lowering therapy, and the results were encouraging: taking lipid-lowering drugs for a long time not only reduced blood lipids, but also significantly reduced the incidence, disability and mortality of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and stroke. In short, the most fundamental purpose of lipid-lowering therapy is to prevent and delay the occurrence of coronary heart disease, stroke and other diseases. At present, doctors and patients all over the world attach great importance to lipid-lowering treatment, and their concepts have undergone fundamental changes. So some people say that the era of lipid regulation has arrived!

10. How to choose an ideal lipid-lowering drug?

When the blood lipid can not be reduced to the ideal level through reasonable adjustment of diet structure, change of bad living habits and strengthening physical exercise, drug treatment must be started. At present, there are many drugs for regulating blood lipid, which are mainly divided into the following three categories: (1) statins, which are mainly used to lower cholesterol, such as Shujiangzhi and Pragu; (2) Bates: mainly reduce triglycerides, such as Novotel and Lipitor; (3) Natural drugs, such as Longtai Jiangzhining, can effectively reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, and can increase high-density lipoprotein, which has the function of comprehensively regulating blood lipids with little side effects. Because the rise of blood lipids is a slow process, the regulation of blood lipids, especially the elimination of adverse effects of blood lipids, also needs a continuous process. Therefore, patients should choose lipid-lowering drugs with obvious lipid-lowering effect and little toxic and side effects according to their own different situations.

1 1. It is very important to check blood lipids:

At present, many people do not know enough about the harm of hyperlipidemia, and hyperlipidemia itself is asymptomatic. Therefore, many people inadvertently find that hyperlipidemia is high. In order to nip in the bud, when you have the following conditions, such as hyperlipidemia, obesity, hypertension, xanthoma of skin or family history of coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, kidney disease, middle-aged and elderly women, postmenopausal women, long-term high-sugar diet, please check your blood lipids as soon as possible. Ordinary people: check blood lipids every 2 years; People over 40 years old: check blood lipid 1 time a year; High-risk groups and patients with hyperlipidemia: check blood lipids regularly according to the doctor's advice.

12. Blood lipid and coronary heart disease:

Despite statistics, the mortality rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has exceeded 1/2 of the total population mortality rate. Coronary heart disease is also called coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. The coronary artery is the artery that supplies blood to the heart. Because of excessive fat deposition, it causes arteriosclerosis, blocks blood flow, causes heart ischemia, and produces a series of symptoms, namely coronary heart disease. Risk factors of coronary heart disease: hyperlipidemia, smoking, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, lack of physical activity, excessive mental stress, family history of coronary heart disease, oral contraceptives, etc. Among them, hyperlipidemia is one of the important risk factors of coronary heart disease. Regulating blood lipid is the most basic therapy to prevent and treat coronary heart disease: when the serum total cholesterol level drops by 65438 0%, the incidence of coronary heart disease drops by 2%. As long as you have coronary heart disease, no matter whether your blood lipid is high or not, you should take lipid-regulating drugs for a long time. Because long-term lipid-lowering therapy can reduce the incidence and mortality of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.

13. Relationship between blood lipid and cerebral infarction;

When the cholesterol in the blood increases, it is easy to form atherosclerotic plaques and accumulate on the arterial wall, which narrows the arterial lumen and blocks the blood from flowing into the corresponding parts, resulting in insufficient kinetic energy. Occurred in cerebral vessels, causing cerebral infarction. Medicine has proved that long-term lipid-lowering therapy can not only treat cerebral infarction, but also prevent it. Lipid-regulating therapy and stroke: There are many reasons for stroke, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, drinking, obesity, old age, diabetes, blood diseases and so on. Among them, hyperlipidemia and cerebral atherosclerosis are one of the important risk factors of cerebral infarction. Many studies have proved that long-term lipid-lowering therapy can significantly reduce the incidence and disability rate of stroke, so clinicians pay more and more attention to the treatment of hyperlipidemia.

14. Blood lipid and diabetes:

Hyperlipidemia, hypertension and hyperglycemia are called "three highs" and are the main risk factors that threaten the health and life of diabetic patients. These three are closely related. Hyperlipidemia will aggravate diabetes, so diabetic patients need to adjust their blood lipids in addition to treating hyperglycemia, which is the key to reduce the mortality and disability rate of diabetic patients. Diabetic patients should pay attention to regulating blood lipids: diabetes complicated with hyperlipidemia is more likely to lead to stroke, coronary heart disease, limb necrosis, fundus lesions, renal lesions, neuropathy and so on. These long-term complications of diabetes are the main causes of disability or premature death of diabetic patients. More than half of diabetic patients are complicated with hyperlipidemia, and active treatment of hyperlipidemia is of great benefit to controlling blood sugar and preventing complications. Regulating blood sugar can improve blood lipid to a certain extent, but to reach the ideal level, intervention of lipid-regulating drugs is needed. The treatment of diabetes and lipid metabolism has become the standard to control the condition of diabetic patients.

15. Blood lipid and fatty liver:

Fatty liver is caused by a large accumulation of liver fat, often accompanied by elevated blood lipids. B-ultrasound examination is the main method to check fatty liver at present. The incidence of fatty liver is as high as 5~ 10%. About 35% of adults with elevated transaminase in physical examination are fatty liver, and some patients can develop cirrhosis. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of fatty liver is very important to prevent the progress of chronic liver disease and improve the prognosis. Who is prone to fatty liver: patients with hyperlipidemia, diabetes, abdominal fat accumulation, long-term heavy drinkers, obese people, patients with viral hepatitis. What are the symptoms of fatty liver? Mild fatty liver mostly has no conscious symptoms. Moderate and severe manifestations are hepatomegaly, loss of appetite, swelling and pain in liver area, and elevated transaminase. A few cases have mild jaundice and splenomegaly. What should patients with fatty liver do: Early treatment can prevent the development of fatty liver, and most fatty liver can be cured. Including eliminating the cause, improving the lifestyle and adjusting the diet structure; Use lipid-regulating drugs for treatment.

treat cordially

When people reach a certain age, kidney qi gradually declines, kidney yang and kidney yin are all deficient, and fire is easy to act rashly, which leads to hyperactivity of liver yang, and even fire turns to fire. Excessive fire leads to dysfunction of spleen and stomach, stagnation of damp heat, endogenous phlegm, hyperlipidemia further develops to the point of phlegm-dampness block, and heartburn and other symptoms of coronary heart disease. Traditional Chinese medicine mostly adopts methods of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm.

medicine

There are many kinds of hypolipidemic drugs, which are difficult to classify.

Its main hypolipidemic function can be divided into four categories:

1, reducing total cholesterol.

2. Mainly reduce total cholesterol and triglycerides.

3. Reduce triglycerides.

4. Mainly reduce triglycerides and total cholesterol.

Generally speaking, it can prevent cholic acid or cholesterol from being absorbed from the intestine and promote cholic acid or cholesterol to be excreted with feces. Inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol in vivo, or promote the transformation of cholesterol, promote the expression of LDL receptor on cell membrane, and accelerate the decomposition of lipoprotein. Activate lipoprotein metabolizing enzymes and promote triglyceride hydrolysis. Prevent the in vivo synthesis of other lipids or promote the metabolism of other lipids.

food therapy

Dietary therapy for hyperlipidemia

Key points of food selection for the treatment of hyperlipidemia

(1) Restrain staple food. People who are overweight or obese should pay special attention to moderation. Avoid pure sugar foods and sweets.

(2) Eat more fish (especially marine fish), soybeans and bean products, poultry meat, lean meat and other foods that can provide high-quality protein but are low in saturated fatty acids and cholesterol.

(3) Control the intake of viscera such as animal liver, and strictly limit animal brain, crab roe and roe.

(4) Cook with vegetable oil to minimize the intake of animal fat.

(5) Eat more vegetables, fruits and coarse grains. And ensure the proper intake of dietary fiber, vitamins and inorganic salts. In particular, you should eat more foods rich in niacin, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B6.

(6) It has been found that many foods have hypolipidemic effects:

① Garlic: Garlic can increase high-density lipoprotein in blood, which is beneficial to prevent arteriosclerosis.

② Eggplant: The decomposition products of eggplant in intestine can be combined with excess cholesterol and excreted.

③ Fungi: Ganoderma lucidum, Lentinus edodes and auricularia auricula. It can reduce cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. According to the research, its cholesterol-lowering effect is stronger than that of Antoine 10 times.

④ Onion and kelp: Onion can reduce arterial lipid deposition; Iodine and magnesium in kelp can also prevent arterial lipid deposition.

⑤ Soybeans: Researchers found that eating 1 15g of beans every day can reduce blood cholesterol by 20%, especially low-density lipoprotein related to atherosclerosis.

⑥ Tea: Tea can reduce blood lipids, and the blood cholesterol content and incidence of coronary heart disease of residents in tea areas are significantly lower than those in other areas.

⑦ Fish: Fish contains a lot of high unsaturated fatty acids, which is beneficial to lower blood cholesterol.

(8) Vegetable oil: It contains unsaturated fatty acids necessary for human body and can lower blood cholesterol, especially sesame oil, corn oil and peanut oil.

Pet-name ruby other foods, such as hawthorn, celery, wax gourd, oats, apples, etc. , all have different degrees of hypolipidemic effect.

(7). Examples of daily recipes

Breakfast: skim milk 250ml (skim milk 250g), corn flour cake (corn flour 100g), shredded lettuce 150g (lettuce 150g).

Lunch: steamed bread or rice 100g (flour or rice 100g), stewed tofu (dry rice 15g, mushrooms 25g, tofu 100g), fried shredded tomatoes (eggplant 100g).

Dinner: steamed bread or rice (100g flour or rice), tomato fried cabbage (50g tomato and 100g cabbage), stewed chicken nuggets (100g chicken nuggets).

Fruit therapy

1, hawthorn

Hawthorn contains triterpenoids, bioflavonoids and rich vitamin C, which has the functions of dilating blood vessel wall, lowering cholesterol and triglyceride and lowering blood pressure. In addition, it also contains maslinic acid and citric acid, both of which have significant hypolipidemic effects. However, some elderly people eat hawthorn, which will cause stomach discomfort such as acid regurgitation, and should be used with caution as appropriate. Hawthorn has the highest calcium content, which is beneficial to middle-aged and elderly people.

2. Apple

Apple is a "fat-reducing fruit" that people easily ignore. Its lipid-lowering effect stems from its rich pectin, which is a water-soluble dietary fiber that can combine with bile acids, absorb excess cholesterol and triglycerides like a sponge, and help it excrete. Pectin can also be combined with other cholesterol-lowering substances, such as vitamin C and fructose, to enhance the effect of lowering blood lipid. Acetic acid decomposed by apples is also beneficial to the catabolism of cholesterol and triglycerides.

Step 3: bananas

Banana tastes sweet and cold, and has high medicinal value. Rich in norepinephrine, 5- hydroxytryptamine and dihydroxyphenylethylamine. Its main functions are clearing stomach, treating constipation, clearing away heat and moistening lung, quenching thirst and polydipsia, replenishing essence and relieving hangover. However, the fruit stalk of banana can lower cholesterol.

4. Litchi

Litchi meat is rich in vitamin C and protein, which helps to enhance human immune function and improve disease resistance. Litchi is rich in vitamins, which can promote microvascular blood circulation, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, and lower blood pressure.

5. Kiwifruit

Kiwifruit is rich in arginine, which can effectively improve blood flow and prevent thrombosis, and has a special effect on reducing the incidence of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, myocardial infarction and arteriosclerosis. Kiwi contains vitamins C, E, K, etc. It is a low-fat food rich in nutrition and dietary fiber.

Ganoderma lucidum in the treatment of hyperlipidemia

Ganoderma lucidum alone or in combination with lipid-regulating drugs can reduce serum cholesterol, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein, and increase high-density lipoprotein. At the same time, it can also reduce the whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity and improve the disorder of hemorheology. The protective effect of Ganoderma lucidum can prevent or alleviate the liver injury caused by chemically synthesized lipid-regulating drugs. Ganoderma lucidum's function of regulating blood lipid is the basis of its protective effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Therapeutic characteristics of ganoderma lucidum in preventing and treating hyperlipidemia

Ganoderma lucidum preparation has certain curative effect on hyperlipidemia, and can be used alone or in combination with conventional hypolipidemic drugs. The characteristics of clinical efficacy are as follows:

1. Ganoderma lucidum preparation can reduce serum cholesterol, triglyceride, β-lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein to varying degrees; Can increase high density lipoprotein (HDL).

2. Ganoderma lucidum preparation can also reduce whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity and improve hemorheology disorder.

3. The combination of Ganoderma lucidum preparation and conventional hypolipidemic drugs has synergistic effect, which can enhance each other's curative effect.

4. The curative effect of Ganoderma lucidum preparation on hyperlipidemia is related to the severity, dosage and course of treatment of the disease. Generally, the condition is mild, and the dose is related to the course of treatment. Generally, patients with mild or moderate illness have better curative effect, and those with higher dose and longer course of treatment have better curative effect.

5. At present, commonly used chemically synthesized hypolipidemic drugs can often cause liver injury. When used together, Ganoderma lucidum can prevent or alleviate the liver injury caused by these drugs because it has protective effect on the liver.

6. After taking the medicine, the effect of increasing appetite, improving sleep and strengthening physical strength can still be seen.

keep fit

Simply put: you must lose weight.

Q: Specifically, what should patients with hyperlipidemia pay attention to in their diet?

Diet is a non-drug treatment. First of all, patients with hyperlipidemia should adhere to a reasonable diet and a balanced diet with low cholesterol. Eat more foods rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids, such as lean meat, poultry, fish, shrimp, beans, bean products, cereals, fruits and vegetables. This can reduce the components in blood lipids, and some animal internal organs such as fat meat, dairy products, egg yolk, brain, liver, kidney and intestine should be eaten less. These things are high in cholesterol, so eat less sweets.

Q: Do you have to give up drinking because of high blood lipids?

Patients should abstain from alcohol, especially those with hyperlipidemia. For normal people, we call it martial law and alcohol restriction. For patients with hyperlipidemia, we still don't drink alcohol, because alcohol intake will still affect blood lipids.

Q: How often is it appropriate to check blood lipids?

When hyperlipidemia is detected, we hope that patients will have a healthy lifestyle intervention. We recommend that patients be examined every four to six weeks and monitored for two to three months. If blood lipids tend to be normal, they can be rechecked every three to six months. If it doesn't meet the standard, it needs medication. After drug treatment, we also recommend monitoring patients for four to six weeks and three to six months after reaching the standard.

Matters needing attention

1. A reasonable diet

Human lipids include fats and lipids. Hyperlipidemia is closely related to diet. The accumulation of human fat and the source of some lipids mainly come from diet. Only a part of lipids are synthesized in the body, which is called endogenous lipids.

Diet control is very important for the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia.

1, light diet, basically vegetarian.

However, it is not advisable to be a vegetarian for a long time, otherwise the diet composition will be imperfect, which will lead to an increase in endogenous cholesterol.

2. Diet with high fat and cholesterol should be restricted, such as animal brain marrow, egg yolk, chicken liver and butter.

3, fat intake is limited to 30 ~ 50 grams per day.

4. Limit sugary foods and avoid sweets and snacks.

5. Eat more vegetables and fruits.

6, should be low-salt diet, edible oil should use soybean oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil, sesame oil and so on.

7. Hunger is moderate.

The amount of food eaten per meal is the degree of hunger half an hour before the next meal. Hunger therapy is not suitable. Excessive hunger will accelerate the decomposition of body fat and increase fatty acids in the blood.

Step 2 quit smoking and drinking

Nicotine in cigarettes can make peripheral blood vessels contract and myocardial stress increase, raise blood pressure and attack angina pectoris. Improper drinking will make the heart function decline, which is harmful to gastrointestinal tract, liver, nervous system and endocrine system. You should definitely give up smoking and avoid drinking.

Moderate tea drinking

Catecholic acid contained in tea can enhance the flexibility, elasticity and permeability of blood vessels and prevent arteriosclerosis. Theophylline and caffeine in tea can invigorate the spirit, promote blood circulation, reduce fatigue and have diuretic effect. Moderate drinking tea can eliminate greasy diet and lose weight. But drinking too much strong tea will stimulate the heart and make the heart beat faster, which is harmful to the body.

Four. Appropriate exercise

Controlling obesity is one of the important measures to prevent hyperlipidemia. Besides diet control, we advocate insisting on physical exercise, such as jogging, Wuqinxi, Tai Ji Chuan, table tennis and disco dancing for the elderly. I usually take part in manual labor. We should control weight gain.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) restricts drinking coffee.

Caffeine can increase cholesterol in the body. Therefore, we should pay attention to drink as little coffee as possible and ban caffeine-containing drugs.

Sixth, cook correctly.

When cooking animal food, absolutely avoid frying. A more appropriate method is steaming and baking to let the grease in the food drip out.

Seven, high cholesterol elderly people over 70 years old, diet therapy is of little significance, because for them, nutrition is more important.

Healthy soup

For most patients with high blood lipid but no complications, the following health care soup can also be used to reduce blood lipid and prevent the development of the disease.

1, kelp and fungus broth: take kelp and fungus each 15g, lean pork 60g, monosodium glutamate, refined salt and starch. Shredded or sliced pork, mixed with starch, put into a pot with kelp and auricularia auricula, boil, add monosodium glutamate and starch, and stir well.

2. Lily asparagus soup: take 50g of lily, 250g of asparagus, yellow wine, monosodium glutamate, refined salt and water. First, wash the lily, put it in a pot and boil it in water for a few minutes, then add yellow wine, refined salt and monosodium glutamate to taste, and pour it into a bowl filled with asparagus.

3. Hawthorn carp soup: Take about 500g carp, 25g hawthorn slices, flour 150g, appropriate amount of yellow wine, appropriate amount of onion slices, ginger slices, refined salt and sugar, and egg 1 piece. First, clean the carp, cut into pieces, add yellow wine and refined salt and castrate 15 minutes. Add a proper amount of water and sugar to flour, beat in eggs and stir into paste, soak fish pieces in the paste, take them out and stick them with dry flour, fry them in the fried oil of ginger slices for 3 minutes, take them out, add hawthorn, a little water and flour to make a sauce, pour them into the fried fish pieces and cook for 65,438+05 minutes, then add onions and monosodium glutamate.

4. Hawthorn Shouwu Decoction: Hawthorn, Polygonum multiflorum each 15g, sugar 60g. First, clean and chop the hawthorn and Polygonum Multiflori Radix, put them together in a pot, add appropriate amount of water, soak for 2 hours, then cook for about 1 hour, remove the residue and take soup, once a day 1 dose, and take it warm twice.

5, hawthorn honeysuckle soup: take hawthorn 30g, honeysuckle 6g, sugar 20g. First, stir-fry hawthorn and honeysuckle with slow fire, add white sugar, stir-fry with low fire into candied fruit, and brew with boiling water. Take 1 dose daily.

6. Mushroom bean curd soup: take 25g dried mushrooms (or 150g fresh mushrooms), 400g tofu, 60g fresh bamboo shoots, and appropriate seasoning. Shredding Lentinus edodes, stir-frying in soybean oil, boiling in clear water, adding shredded Lentinus edodes, shredded bamboo shoots and diced tofu, adding refined salt, pepper and wet starch after boiling, and pouring sesame oil on the pan for eating with meals.

7. Lycium barbarum pork soup: take Lycium barbarum 15g, lean pork 250g, refined salt, yellow wine, onion, pepper and pork soup. Wash Lycium barbarum, shred pork until it turns white, add yellow wine, onion, ginger and refined salt, stir fry, add broth, add Lycium barbarum, cook until the meat is cooked, add pepper and monosodium glutamate, and eat with meals.

How to simply eliminate blood thickening

For people with high blood viscosity, doctors emphasize that diet should be light, avoid smoking and alcohol, and appropriate participation in exercise is the most radical treatment. Some people advocate that the simple and effective method is to drink a cup of light salt water or cold boiled water in the morning, at noon and at night, especially in the summer when the incidence of blood viscosity is high, drinking water can have a preventive effect. Some people even advised the elderly to develop the habit of drinking water without thirst. There are also studies that drinking tea has anticoagulant effect; Auricularia auricula has hemolytic effect, and long-term drinking and eating can prevent thrombosis. In addition, corn, soybeans, black beans, garlic, ginger, onions, hawthorn, milk and so on. They all have the effects of reducing blood fat, inhibiting cholesterol synthesis and reducing blood viscosity to varying degrees. Clinical observation shows that drugs such as vitamin C, vitamin E, aspirin, dipyridamole and compound Danshen can improve blood vessel function, increase blood flow speed, inhibit blood agglutination and dissolve thrombus, and can be taken under the guidance of doctors.

Clinically, some elderly people have no organic diseases themselves, but after a little work, they always feel headache, brain swelling, chest tightness, palpitation and shortness of breath, listlessness all day long, lethargy all day long, sometimes blurred vision and unstable standing. This kind of person is often found to have high blood viscosity, referred to as "thick blood".

Excessive smoking and drinking can lead to blood thickening, so the elderly who like alcohol and tobacco should drink a large glass of boiled water after getting up in the morning and before going to bed at night, which can reduce the blood viscosity. You can also drink more tea (especially green tea) in peacetime.

Irregular life, long-term mental stress or excessive psychological pressure can also easily lead to "thick blood", so you should develop good life rules and maintain a good mood. In addition, "moderate exercise" such as walking, brisk walking, jogging and Tai Ji Chuan can also accelerate lipid metabolism and reduce blood regulation.

Patients with thick blood should have a light diet and eat more coarse grains, green leafy vegetables and fruits, such as soybeans, black beans, corn, oats, buckwheat, milk, ginger, garlic, onions, auricularia auricula, mushrooms, hawthorn, lemon, tomatoes, red grapes, celery, spirulina, carrots, apples and kiwifruit.

These foods have the functions of lowering blood lipid, inhibiting platelet aggregation and preventing thrombosis. Animal fat (especially viscera) and sweets will aggravate "blood thickening", so eat less.
