Dislipidemia

Dyslipidemia refers to an imbalance in lipid levels in the blood, often characterized by elevated levels of cholesterol and/or triglycerides. This condition is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Managing dyslipidemia involves a combination of lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medications. Here are key strategies to address dyslipidemia:

  1. Heart-Healthy Diet:

    • Adopt a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
    • Limit saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol found in fried foods, processed snacks, and certain oils.
    • Focus on reducing overall intake of processed and refined foods.
  2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

    • Include sources of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, trout), flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.
    • Omega-3 fatty acids can help lower triglycerides and improve overall lipid profiles.
  3. Regular Exercise:

    • Engage in regular physical activity, including both aerobic exercise (e.g., walking, jogging, cycling) and strength training.
    • Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
