How do menopausal women prevent hyperlipidemia?

　   menopausal female There will be many conditions in the body, and if timely adjustments are not made, it will lead to disease There is an opportunity to take advantage of. Hyperlipidemia It is one of the most common diseases in women during menopause.

　　Due to the relationship between estrogen, women before menopause are less likely to suffer from heart disease and stroke than male . This is because estrogen can improve blood vessel elasticity, lower blood pressure, and make blood vessels less likely to harden and block. However, after women reach menopause, due to reduced ovarian function, estrogen secretion also decreases significantly. Without the protective umbrella of estrogen, cholesterol will rise and high-density lipoprotein will fall. Therefore, women during this period are more susceptible to atherosclerosis. Therefore, the risk of heart disease increases significantly in postmenopausal women. The American Heart Association points out that two-thirds of sudden deaths among women in the United States are due to coronary artery disease. At the same time, after menopause, women suffer from hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. The chance of reducing hyperlipidemia will also gradually exceed that of men.

　　At this time, if women can participate in more sports, the above-mentioned adverse situations can be avoided. A study by the Harvard School of Public Health shows that among all exercises, brisk walking is the most consistent and most effective exercise for menopausal women. The so-called brisk walking means walking 1 kilometer in 12 minutes. Researchers at Harvard University followed 72,488 women aged 40-65 for 26 years. They found that among women who walked briskly every day, no one had a stroke or suffered from heart disease, hyperlipidemia, etc.

　　Researchers pointed out that middle-aged and elderly women who walk briskly for 45 minutes to 1 hour a day can reduce their risk of stroke by 40%. Brisk walking for 30-60 minutes every day has the same effect in preventing stroke as more intense fast-paced sports such as jogging, playing tennis, and riding a bicycle. In addition, it is useful in preventing diabetes, osteoporosis, and certain cancer All have good results. Although exercise can prevent hyperlipidemia, this can only be done for patients with early-stage hyperlipidemia. However, for menopausal women who have had long-term symptoms, they must not only pay attention to these, but more importantly, take corresponding lipid-lowering drugs in a timely manner for effective treatment.
