Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking if a vegetarian diet can help me avoid high blood lipids in the long term?Doctor's answer:
High blood lipids are not caused by a single factor, as it is the result of many unhealthy factors. Long-term vegetarianism can only reduce the risk of developing high blood lipids but cannot completely avoid it. Moreover, eating only vegetarian food does not necessarily guarantee health, as vegetarian diets often lack nutrients that meats can provide. Only a balanced diet, with sufficient amounts of both meat and vegetarian food, is the best for the body.
