Some people know their blood lipids are high and usually avoid eating too greasy. Yet despite eating so lightly, their blood lipids remain elevated. I believe this may be related to the following five factors.

1. Consuming too many flour-based foods and desserts. There are many sources of fat, but unfortunately, many people think they won't produce fat if they don't eat fatty meat. Little do they know that eating too many flour-based foods and desserts leads to excessive sugar intake, which will also convert into fat in the body and raise blood lipid levels. Flour-based foods and desserts are precisely aspects that people tend to overlook.

2 Overweight: Individuals who are overweight have significantly higher blood lipid levels than those with normal weight, especially those with abdominal obesity who particularly need to lose weight. Once you reduce your weight, you'll notice significant improvements in your lipid levels.

3 Lack of Exercise: Moderate exercise not only enhances cardiopulmonary function but also aids in weight loss and lowering blood lipids. Beyond watching our diet, we must also stay physically active.

4 Smoking: Smoking not only increases plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels but also reduces high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels - the "good" cholesterol that protects blood vessels. Smoking destroys this protective effect.

5 Poor Diabetes Control: Uncontrolled diabetes can also elevate blood lipid levels, making it essential for diabetic patients to strictly manage their blood sugar.

These are the five aspects that patients with hyperlipidemia often overlook. Check if you've made any of these oversights, and if so, correct them as soon as possible. Seek professional medical help when necessary.
