Dr. Tian Hongbo
High blood lipids and high blood pressure can be managed with medication. It is important to take lipid-lowering and antihypertensive drugs regularly under a doctor's guidance, with proper dosage to prevent drug abuse. Dietary adjustments are also essential. After diagnosis, patients should control calorie intake, reduce consumption of foods high in sugar, salt, and fat, and eat more foods rich in calcium and potassium, which can help lower blood lipids and blood pressure. Regular physical activity is also important. Appropriate exercise helps promote lipid breakdown and reduces blood pressure, but strenuous activities should be avoided.
