Dietary habit modification, consistent physical exercise, and a health-conscious lifestyle constitute the cornerstone of preventing and managing elevated blood cholesterol levels. Nevertheless, even with strict avoidance of high-fat and high-sugar foods, desired therapeutic outcomes are not always achievable. In such instances, targeted pharmacological intervention may become necessary, with the choice of treatment always tailored to the patient’s individual profile and guided by professional medical recommendations.

Leczenie cholesterolu

Leczenie wysokiego stężenia cholesterolu zazwyczaj rozpoczyna się od diety.. Wykluczenie tłustych, smażonych potraw oraz cukrów prostych – to podstawa diety hipolipemicznej.. Produkty pochodzenia roślinnego powinny na stałe zagościć w naszym jadłospisie.. Pożywienie roślinne nie ma prawie w ogóle tłuszczu, a także zawiera znikome ilości cholesterolu.. Z mięs powinniśmy wybierać te chude, drobiowe, a z węglowodanów – złożone, których źródłem są produkty pełnoziarniste.. Pożegnać również musimy się ze słodyczami i słodkimi przekąskami, które obfitują w cholesterol.. Ważna jest także zmiana sposobu przygotowywania potraw (zamiast smażenia wybieramy gotowanie czy pieczenie bez tłuszczu).. Mniszek lekarski obniża poziom lipidów, usprawniając pracę wątroby, to właśnie w niej jest magazynowany cholesterol.. Obok diety istotna jest umiarkowana aktywność fizyczna.. Spacery, pływanie, bieg w umiarkowanym tempie, popularny ostatnio nordic walking – to wszystko sprzyja w walce z cholesterolem.. Pomimo poczynionych zmian, zdrowej diety i regularnej aktywności fizycznej, czasami okazuje się, że to nie wystarcza.. Wtedy lekarz decyduje się na wprowadzenie odpowiednich leków, których zadaniem będzie skuteczne obniżenie poziomu cholesterolu we krwi.

Leki na cholesterol

Gdy pacjent pomimo zmiany stylu życia nadal zmaga się z wysokim stężeniem cholesterolu, lekarz może zadecydować o wprowadzeniu leków.. Statyny to popularna i powszechnie wykorzystywany grupa leków w obniżaniu poziomu cholesterolu.. Leki te przepisywane są na receptę.. Statyny powodują obniżenie stężenia cholesterolu całkowitego i LDL we krwi poprzez zahamowanie jego syntezy w organizmie.. Znacznie zmniejszają ryzyko wystąpienia chorób serca spowodowanych wysokim stężeniem cholesterolu.. Powszechnie stosowane są leki takie jak: simwastatyna, lowastatyna oraz atorwastatyna.. Skutkiem ubocznym stosowania tej grupy leków mogą być dolegliwości ze strony układu mięśniowego, pokarmowego (nudności, wymioty), bóle głowy, a w skrajnych przypadkach – uszkodzenie wątroby.. Przeciwwskazaniami do leczenia statynami są m.. in. Przewlekłe choroby wątroby, ciąża i okres karmienia, stosowanie leków przeciwgrzybiczych oraz antybiotyków metabolicznych, czyli takich, które wpływają na procesy metaboliczne lub budowę drobnoustrojów chorobotwórczych.

Zioła na cholesterol

Warto wiedzieć, że istnieją naturalne produkty obniżające poziom cholesterolu we krwi.. Bardzo pomocne w leczeniu cholesterolu jest ziele karczocha.. Można łączyć je z ekstraktem z liścia miłorzębu japońskiego, który przy okazji usprawnia krążenie krwi.. Mniszek lekarski odznacza się także właściwościami obniżającymi poziom lipidów, gdyż usprawnia pracę wątroby, a to właśnie w niej jest magazynowany cholesterol.. Z kolei lucerna zawiera związki zwane saponinami, które obniżają poziom LDL i utrudniają odkładanie się w naczyniach krwionośnych blaszek miażdżycowych.

Herbata na cholesterol

Terapeutyczne właściwości posiada zielona herbata, obniżając poziom cholesterolu oraz poprawiając proporcję między jego frakcjami.. Udowodniono naukowo, że żadne suplementy diety zawierające wyciągi z zielonej herbaty, nie są tak efektywne, jak picie samego naparu.. Herbata z hibiskusa obniża poziom złego cholesterolu we krwi, a zarazem wspomaga ochronę naczyń krwionośnych przed zmianami, jakim ulegają pod wpływem czasu.. Regularne picie herbaty z aronii poprawia gospodarkę tłuszczami.. Stosowana jest ona w profilaktyce wielu chorób, a w szczególności chorób cywilizacyjnych.. Dużo mówi się o profilaktyce chorób serca i układu krwionośnego.. Jednak, gdy już zmagamy się z wysokim stężeniem cholesterolu we krwi, często szukamy naturalnych sposobów na jego obniżenie.. Zmiana stylu życia, w tym diety i wzrost aktywności fizycznej może przynieść zaskakujące rezultaty.. Niekiedy zdrowe odżywianie i ruch są niewystarczające.. Wtedy prawdopodobnie lekarz przepisze nam odpowiednie leki, które pomogą uporać się z cholesterolem.. Nie zapominajmy jednak, że to, co najbardziej naturalne, często okazuje się najskuteczniejsze.
