Patient's question:
Yesterday, after a careful check, I found that Grandma has high blood lipids. Grandma loves walnuts very much in her daily life. The past two days, she has been complaining of discomfort in her body. Dad took her to the hospital for a thorough physical examination. The doctor asked her to have a blood test, and it was found that her blood lipids were a bit high. Can Grandma eat walnuts with high blood lipids?Doctor's answer:
Older women, carefully check for high blood lipids, which can easily lead to arteriosclerosis, such as coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, cerebral thrombosis, and cerebral infarction. Treatment should pay attention to diet, eat less high-fat, high-calorie foods such as walnuts, and eat more green leafy vegetables and fruits. Daily activities should be increased, and lipid levels should be rechecked regularly. If necessary, lipid-lowering drugs such as Simvastatin tablets should be taken.
