With the improvement of people's living standards and the constant changes of daily diet structure, there are more and more patients with hyperlipidemia, and middle-aged and elderly people, middle-aged obese patients and people who smoke and drink a lot are more likely to get sick. If hyperlipidemia cannot be treated promptly and effectively, it will cause dizziness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, numbness of limbs, and even coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. It is easy to relapse after treatment, so daily maintenance is extremely important.
There is no record of hyperlipidemia in ancient Chinese medicine books. Modern scholars divide hyperlipidemia into phlegm syndrome, blood stasis syndrome, blood turbidity syndrome and obesity according to its clinical manifestations. It is believed that long-term bad living habits, such as unreasonable diet, irregular diet, drinking and smoking, lead to disorder of spleen, kidney and liver metabolism, obstruction of qi and blood, abnormal consumption and excretion of excess fat and high blood lipid content. There are different nursing methods for hyperlipidemia with different syndromes.
Phlegm-dampness resistance type
Disharmony of stomach leads to depression and unclear spleen, which leads to endogenous phlegm-dampness and elevated blood lipid. Most of this type of patients are obese, accompanied by chest fullness, chest tightness, dizziness and pain, heavy body, lethargy in limbs, fatigue, pale tongue, white and greasy fur and other symptoms.
Nursing should focus on eliminating phlegm and dampness, regulating stomach and lowering adverse flow.
Diet should be light and expectorant, avoid cold, sweet and sticky food to prevent excessive phlegm caused by increased moisture. Edible barley and red bean porridge, millet sprout hawthorn porridge, crucian carp soup, etc.
Usually, you should move more and less, and pay attention to controlling your weight.
Stagnation of liver and gallbladder
Storing blood in the liver is the main way to stop diarrhea, which has the functions of regulating mood and regulating qi. Stagnation of liver and gallbladder, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and increased blood lipid. The common manifestations of patients are irritability, depression, chest tightness, abdominal distension and pain, belching and acid regurgitation in the stomach. Female patients have symptoms such as breast pain, abdominal pain and irregular menstruation.
Nursing should soothe the liver and regulate qi.
You can eat some foods that soothe the liver and regulate qi, such as dried tangerine peel, fennel, radix aucklandiae and fructus amomi. And medicated diets, such as ginger and orange drinks and Erhua Tiaojing tea.
Usually, we should do more physical and mental activities, increase physical exercise, and accelerate the dissipation of liver depression and qi stagnation.
Yin deficiency of liver and kidney
Kidney controls water and stores essence, which is the foundation of yin and yang. Yin deficiency of liver and kidney can cause abnormal qi movement and elevated blood lipid. This type is more common in emaciation patients, mainly manifested as dizziness, headache, dry mouth, insomnia, forgetfulness and numbness of limbs.
In nursing, it is necessary to tonify kidney and warm yang to make gasification normal.
Commonly used medicated diets such as Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Adenophorae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Sea Cucumber, Duck, Chinese Yam, Chinese chives, Fructus Lycii, etc. Medicinal diets such as sesame sauce and raw rehmannia chicken. Fasting stimulating food.

Yang deficiency of spleen and kidney
Yang deficiency of kidney and spleen is the main symptom of this disease, and phlegm-dampness is the sign. The patient's body is obese, showing dizziness, cold hands and feet, fear of cold, impotence and nocturnal emission, fat tongue and tooth marks on the side.
Warming the kidney and strengthening the spleen, treating both symptoms and root causes of phlegm and dampness during nursing.
