Dr. Pan Yongyuan
High blood lipid levels and elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) should be treated with medications under the guidance of a pharmacist, along with dietary therapy, to achieve improvement and eventual recovery. It is advisable to eat less oily food, choose low-fat foods whenever possible, avoid animal fats and foods high in cholesterol, consume more fresh green vegetables, and maintain regular physical exercise. For mildly elevated lipid levels, lifestyle modifications are the primary approach; however, if lipid levels are significantly increased, oral lipid-lowering medications are required.
