Healthy diet for people with dyslipidemia

31/03/2025

Dyslipidemia (also known as blood lipid disorder) is a condition where Cholesterol and/or triglyceride levels in the blood are high, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Adjusting the diet properly can help manage this condition and improve heart health.

Reduce saturated and trans fats

Limit animal fat, butter, cheese, red meats (beef, pork), fried foods, sweets, and fast food. Replace with unsaturated fats from olive oil, canola oil, chia seed oil, and omega-3 fatty acids from salmon, mackerel, flaxseeds, and walnuts.

Increase fiber intake

Soluble fiber helps reduce bad Cholesterol (LDL) and slows Cholesterol absorption in the intestines. Found in whole grains, oats, beans, green vegetables, and fruits (apples, oranges, pears).

Reduce sugar and refined carbohydrates

Limit sweets, soft drinks, processed foods, white rice, white bread, and fried potatoes. Refined carbohydrates increase triglycerides, contributing to dyslipidemia.

Add antioxidant rich foods

Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), nuts (almonds, walnuts), dark green vegetables (kale, spinach), tomatoes, oranges, egg yolks. Protect blood vessels from damage and help improve blood lipids. A well-balanced diet for dyslipidemia often includes fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, combined with almonds, walnuts, and dark leafy greens like spinach and kale.

These foods are rich in antioxidants, helping to prevent vascular damage and naturally support lipid level improvement.

Limit salt intake

Helps control blood pressure and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases; Avoid processed foods and canned foods with high sodium content.

Choose healthy protein sources

Beans, seeds, tofu, fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines); rich in omega-3, helping reduce triglycerides and bad Cholesterol (LDL).

Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol

Water helps maintain liver and kidney function, supporting lipid metabolism; Limit alcohol, as it can increase triglyceride levels.

Foods to avoid

Fried foods, fast food; Processed meats (sausages, ham, bacon); Sweets, cakes, and sugar-rich foods. Maintaining a scientific diet helps control Cholesterol and triglycerides, protecting heart health. Consult a doctor or nutritionist for the most suitable dietary plan.
