Dietary therapy for managing hyperlipidemia

 

Principles of Dietary Therapy for Managing Hyperlipidemia

1.  
2. Reduce fat intake to 30% (or 20%) of daily caloric intake.

Increase the ratio of unsaturated fats to saturated fats

Increase dietary fiber (fruits, vegetables, etc.) to 35g per day

Reduce dietary cholesterol intake to 200-300mg per day.

Approximately 30-40% of caloric intake should come from complex carbohydrates (bread, grains, fruits, vegetables).

Reducing simple carbohydrates is good for obesity.

6. Appropriate salt content

7. Avoid alcohol consumption

1. Foods high in fat content (prohibited from consumption)

Deep-fried foods, powdered milk, cream, high-fat cheeses (cheddar cheese, cream cheese), fatty meats and their processed foods (sausages, ham, etc.)

I realized there are parts of daily life I didn't know about, and I used to think that the diet I was eating was okay, but now I hear that it can cause hyperlipidemia. So, I think I should pay more attention and avoid certain foods for better health if I have hyperlipidemia.
