Hyperlipidemia and hypertension are common chronic conditions today, collectively known as the "three highs" along with high blood sugar. Young people developing hypertension and hyperlipidemia are mainly influenced by genetic factors, lifestyle, and dietary habits. Most patients with these conditions tend to stay up late, smoke and drink alcohol, lack physical activity, and prefer high-salt, fried, and greasy foods. It is recommended that such patients adopt a light diet and increase aerobic exercise.
