“There are too many middle-aged women with high cholesterol”… What are the worst habits?

Hyperlipidemia (dyslipidemia), characterized by excessive levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood, has been on the rise recently. The rate of increase is rapid, more than doubling in the past five years. According to the National Health Insurance Service's detailed health screening status report,

 

In 2021, the number of patients with dyslipidemia reached approximately 1.47 million, a 2.4-fold increase from 2016 (approximately 620,000). The increase was particularly notable among women in their 50s, raising concerns about the prevention of stroke (cerebral infarction/cerebral hemorrhage) and heart disease. Let's take a closer look at blood health.

 

 

50 The number of female patients increases rapidly after the age of 3. … hormonal changes + bad eating habits

 

 

The medical term for blood turbidity is dyslipidemia. It encompasses hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, and hypertriglyceridemia. Until the mid-50s, most patients are men who drink, smoke, and frequently eat out. However, after that, the gender profile begins to change. This is due to the decline of estrogen (the female hormone that protects blood vessels) and more women have poorer eating habits than in the past. The surge in female stroke patients after menopause is largely due to high blood pressure, diabetes, and blood turbidity.

“ I can't stop eating sweets “… If you can't control your sugar intake, your blood health will also deteriorate.

 

Even if you cut down on fatty foods for health reasons, some people still enjoy sweet drinks, soda, and desserts. Sugar is a carbohydrate and high in calories, which is very bad for your blood. As you age, it's better to minimize sugar intake by consuming whole fruit rather than fruit juice and raw milk rather than chocolate milk. According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to prevent and manage heart disease and stroke, even when eating rice, it's best to eat a mix of multigrain and whole wheat, and keep your total carbohydrate intake below 65%. Keep in mind that excessive carbohydrate intake, in addition to fatty meats like pork belly and offal, can also cloud your blood.

 

 

Blood health ' textbook ' Follow the instructions … Foods that purify the blood ?

 

When listing foods good for the blood and blood vessels, some people complain, "It's always the same." Medical textbooks don't change often. Discovering a groundbreaking food deserves a Nobel Prize. To reduce the saturated fat that accumulates in blood vessels, it's best to reduce your intake of red meat, such as beef and pork, and processed meats (ham and sausages), and instead eat plenty of raw vegetables, beans, nuts, and fish, which are rich in antioxidants. Consuming perilla oil and olive oil in moderation can also be beneficial.

 

 

No special symptoms, more dangerous … stroke – Symptoms only appear when heart disease develops

 

Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol, or dyslipidemia), which rapidly increases after age 50, is common. However, it presents a risk because it often has no specific symptoms before complications like stroke or heart disease appear. Regular blood tests are recommended to monitor for abnormalities. If symptoms are absent and you collapse from strenuous exercise in middle age, it means your hyperlipidemia has already worsened to cause heart disease or stroke. Blocking blood vessels to the heart or brain can be life-threatening and lead to permanent disabilities like paralysis.

 

 

If you move your body diligently … Preventing cardiovascular disease 1 Tea preventive effect

 

People who are active at home and in their neighborhood have a lower risk of vascular disease. This is because physical activity and exercise have a primary preventive effect against cardiovascular disease. Even those with existing conditions like high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes can improve their health. While it's recommended to engage in aerobic exercise, such as walking, for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week, it's important to incorporate frequent movement into your daily routine. Even simply getting up and moving around in your living room is highly effective. Walking back and forth between rooms 40 minutes to an hour after a meal, when blood sugar levels begin to spike, can also be beneficial. Avoid sitting for extended periods of time.
