高血脂如何调理?

 高血脂如何调理?

一、中医角度

中医认为,血脂高主要与体内湿热、痰浊、气滞等因素有关。因此,调理血脂高的关键在于清热、祛湿、化痰、活血、理气。

1. 清热祛湿

中医认为湿热是导致血脂高的主要原因之一。因此,清热祛湿是调理血脂高的重要方法之一。可以选择一些具有清热祛湿作用的中药,如黄连、茵陈、苦参等,通过煎煮或冲泡服用,可以有效地清除体内湿热,改善血脂水平。

2. 化痰活血

中医认为痰浊是导致血脂高的另一个重要原因。化痰活血可以通过一些中药来实现,如枳壳、陈皮、香附等,这些中药具有疏通经络、活血化痰的作用,可以改善血液循环,降低血脂水平。

3. 理气调节

中医认为气滞也是导致血脂高的原因之一。理气调节可以通过针灸、推拿等手段来实现。针灸可以刺激穴位,调节气血运行,改善血脂水平。推拿可以通过按摩、推拿等手法,疏通经络,促进气血流通,达到调理血脂的效果。

血脂长期偏高

 二、西医角度分析

西医认为,血脂高主要与饮食结构、生活习惯、遗传等因素有关。因此,调理血脂高的关键在于改善饮食结构、调整生活习惯、控制遗传因素。

血脂高是指血液中的脂质含量超过正常范围,主要包括胆固醇和甘油三酯。

长期血脂偏高,血液中的胆固醇和甘油三酯会沉积在血管壁,逐渐形成动脉粥样硬化斑块,进一步发展会导致血管狭窄和堵塞,甚至诱发冠心病、心肌梗死、脑卒中等。

血脂长期偏高,还会导致心脏和血管的功能异常,影响脑血液供应,增加心脑血管疾病的风险,当血液中的胆固醇和甘油三酯过高时,会沉积在肝脏细胞中,形成脂肪肝。长期高血脂还会导致肝脏炎症和纤维化,最终发展为肝硬化。

高血脂还与其他疾病的发生有关,如胰腺炎、胰岛素抵抗、代谢综合征等。

因此,对于血脂高的人群来说,及时采取措施降低血脂,如合理饮食、适量运动、药物治疗等,都能够有效降低并发症的发生风险。

1. 改善饮食结构

高脂饮食是导致血脂高的主要原因之一。因此,改善饮食结构是调理血脂高的重要方法之一。可以减少高脂食物的摄入,增加蔬菜、水果、全谷类食物的摄入,合理搭配蛋白质和脂肪的摄入比例,控制总热量的摄入,从而降低血脂水平。

2. 调整生活习惯

西医认为,不良的生活习惯也是导致血脂高的原因之一。因此,调整生活习惯是调理血脂高的重要方法之一。可以适量增加运动量,如有氧运动、力量训练等,促进脂肪的燃烧,降低血脂水平。此外,戒烟、限酒、保持良好的睡眠质量也是调理血脂高的重要措施。

3. 控制遗传因素

西医认为,遗传因素也是导致血脂高的重要原因之一。因此,控制遗传因素是调理血脂高的重要方法之一。可以通过定期体检,了解自己的血脂情况,及早发现问题,采取相应的治疗措施,如药物治疗等,控制血脂水平。

当发现血脂升高,我们可以把握住这些可控因素,去进行改变,低盐、低糖、低脂饮食,戒烟戒酒减肥,控制体重,不熬夜,增加有氧运动,减轻心理压力,控制好这些危险因素,就能够起到很好的控制血脂的作用。


血脂高的人,身体会有3种“异常”

 血脂高的人,身体会有3种“异常”

发表人:田超

高血脂,大家应该不陌生,它是三高的一种,高血脂大多数并没有典型症状,一般在体检中才发现的。人体的血液就像汽车的汽油,如果汽油中含有杂质过多,就会管道不通,那么汽车就没有办法运行。就像人体一样,血液中胆固醇或甘油三酯含量高,血液流通变得不顺畅,会使得血管堵塞。


1、视力下降或者短暂性的失明

 

如果你是经常玩手机,或者经常对着电脑,用眼过度,导致视力模糊,视力下降,这是很正常的。除此之外,没有任何征兆,出现视力下降,短暂失明的话,那你可以检查一下血脂。因为如果人体内血脂升高,血液中的脂蛋白就会从毛细血管流出去,然后过渡到视网膜,会影响视力下降,严重的会短暂失明。

  
2、头晕

 

如果你近期经常感觉到头晕,而且长时间得不到改善,不妨测下血脂,看是不是血脂升高的缘故。对于高血脂患者来说,血液的粘稠度本身就比正常高,粘稠度高,血液流动的速度就会慢,脑供血不足,会造成大脑缺氧的状态,而脑部缺氧的不适症状就是头晕。

 

3、腿抽筋

 

我们在睡觉的时候,一般会出现腿部抽筋的情况,我们就会想到缺钙,完全没有想到会跟高血脂有什么联系。这是不完全正确的。如果血液里脂肪含量非常高,那么胆固醇就会积聚在人体的肌肉中,然后导致肌肉萎缩,从而出现抽筋的情况。这个需要引起重视,频繁小腿抽筋,有可能是血脂升高。


血脂居高不下,原来是“它”在作祟


1、久坐

 

久坐,是现在很多的上班族们都存在的一个问题,上班族经常坐在办公室,很容易形成久坐的习惯,但是这样的习惯并不利于血脂的控制。在办公室里,长时间的久坐不运动,有时候连吃饭的时间都不想动,甚至是叫外卖,这种情况就直接会导致肥胖、血脂升高。

  
2、吃高油脂的食物

 

俗话说病从口入,血脂升高和我们日常的饮食习惯也有着很大的关系,如果上班族总是吃一些含有高油脂食物,摄入的脂肪就会超标,很难被人体吸收,就很容易导致血压血脂升高。所以想要将血脂控制在一个合理范围内,那么就要少吃高油脂食物,这样才能有效地去预防血脂升高。


3、抽烟喝酒

 

大家都知道抽烟喝酒对身体的伤害是非常大的,因为烟含有尼古丁和一氧化碳等有害成分,使血中的总胆固醇和甘油三酯水平升高,会直接影响到血脂的浓度,如果摄入的量过多,就会导致血液中血脂升高。而酒精在体内可转变为乙酸,乙酸使游离脂肪酸的氧化减慢,脂肪酸在肝内合成为甘油三酯,同时是极低的密度脂蛋白的分泌也增多,会导致血液中学值升高。

  
上班族做到这2点,避免高血脂


1、多喝水

 

众所周知,水被称之为生命之源。经常补充水分,不仅能保证体液充足,还能达到促进血液循环,加快毒素排出的效果。

  
2、坚持运动

 

高血脂症可以通过运动来治疗?体育运动不但可以增强心肺功能、改善胰岛素抵抗和葡萄糖耐量,而且还可减轻体重、降低血浆三酰甘油和胆固醇。建议每天坚持半小时的运动,长期可以帮助降低体内的血脂,可以多做一些像慢跑、瑜伽、、游泳、广场舞等有氧的运动,有利于稳定体内的血脂。

Mitchell reflects as he departs HashiCorp

HashiCorp

 HashiCorp is a software company[3] with a freemium business model based in San Francisco, California. HashiCorp provides tools and products that enable developers, operators and security professionals to provision, secure, run and connect cloud-computing infrastructure.[4] It was founded in 2012 by Mitchell Hashimoto and Armon Dadgar.[5][6]

HashiCorp is headquartered in San Francisco, but their employees are distributed across the United States, Canada, Australia, India, and Europe. HashiCorp offers source-available libraries and other proprietary products.[7][8]

In 2024, HashiCorp was acquired by IBM.

History

HashiCorp was founded in 2012 by two classmates from the University of Washington, Mitchell Hashimoto and Armon Dadgar.[9] Cofounder Hashimoto was previously working on open-source software called Vagrant, which became incorporated into HashiCorp.[10] The cofounders also developed several other open-source projects besides HashiCorp.[11] By 2018, HashiCorp's open-source software tools had been downloaded 45 million times.[12]

HashiCorp raised $349.2 million in venture capital investments over five funding rounds.[13] This included a $100 million investment in 2018 that valued the business at $1.9 billion,[14] and a $175 million 2020 investment in its fifth funding round valuing HashiCorp at $5.1 billion.[13][15] According to the company, it was growing quickly, doubling its sales each year for four years.[15] It grew 75% in 2021 compared to the prior year.[16]

On 29 November 2021, HashiCorp set terms for its IPO at 15.3 million shares at $68-$72 at a valuation of $13 billion.[17] It offered 15.3 million shares.[13] By this time, the company had 2,392 customers, but was not yet profitable.[16][18] HashiCorp considers its workers to be remote workers first rather than coming into an office on a full-time basis.[19]

On April 24, 2024, the company announced it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by IBM, with the transaction expected to close by the end of the same year.[20]

美国现有屋主不肯弃低息换新家 欲置业者无房可买

房贷利率在7%高位徘徊,比几年前定息按揭至少高出3个百分点,这个巨大差距使现有屋主不愿放弃旧有优惠,继续保留旧屋,造成市场供应减少,这种几十年来首次出现的锁定效应,使首次置业者没有太多选择,而且间接推高房价、扰乱市场。 

《纽约时报》报道,在1990年代末和2000年代初,大多数屋主的房贷利率介乎7%至9%之间,但之后随着网络经济衰退开始下降,并在金融海啸后进一步跌落,不少屋主在这个过程中选择重新贷款。到疫情初期,房贷利率触及历史最低点,许多家庭都获得低于3%的超低贷款利率。

这种利率差距直接导致房产市场的异常。联邦房屋金融管理局(Federal Housing Finance Agency,FHFA)经济学家最新研究显示,全美每年通常售出大约500万套房屋,但前年春季至去年底利率上升期间,全美房屋销售减少了大约130万套。

另外在1998年至2020年期间,从未有超过40%的房贷持有人的固定利率,低于市场利率1个百分点以上。然而在过去两年,随着联邦储备系统为了对抗通胀,各种贷款的利率飙升。截至去年底,大约70%房贷持有人的利率,比市场提供的新贷款利率低了3个百分点以上。

由于利率从疫情低点上升得又快又急,大多数拥有房贷的屋主发现,现在出售自己的房屋,在财务上可能是愚蠢行为。只要短期内不搬迁,例如不要为了更好的工作或更高的薪水而搬迁,也不要搬到较小或较大的住所,那么未来几年就可以继续享受原有低息。

然而对于许多其他人来说,利率问题已经影响家庭决策和整个房屋市场运作,而且可能加剧对经济更广泛的挫败感。经济学家利伯索恩(Jack Liebersohn)和罗斯坦(Jesse Rothstein)发现,前年和去年有抵押贷款屋主的流动率下降,没有抵押贷款的屋主或租房者,流动率却没有相应下降。罗斯坦还提到,一切现象都不仅仅源于当今高利率水平,“我们从来没有遇过像过去4年这样的情况”。

伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校教授丰塞卡(Julia Fonseca)估计,如果人们将当前抵押贷款的剩余支付额,换成当前利率较高的支付额,可能需要额外支付5万元。

丰塞卡与宾夕凡尼亚大学金融系助理教授刘璐(Lu Liu)也发现,享有低利率的屋主,更不可能搬到附近薪资增长较快的地区,反映房地产问题会对劳动市场产生影响,阻碍企业招聘到适合的工人,或阻碍薪资进一步上升。

这些影响可能与2008年房地产市场崩溃后的情况相似,当年的负资产问题,将许多人困在他们想要离开的房屋。但今天的挑战可能更持久,理由是低于3%的30年期房贷利率,短期内不太可能再次出现。

总统拜登已经注意到许多人对此感到不安。3月初发表国情咨文期间,拜登直接对那些担心利率的人表示,如果通胀持续下降,抵押贷款利率也会随之下降,并建议为新买家提供税务优惠。然而对于不愿出售的屋主来说,这笔优惠远远不及学者估计的5万元差额。

薪水砍一半!中国的公务员开始抢着退休了

 中国经济低迷,地方财政困窘,导致公务员被大幅降薪、降补贴,退休金也被削减近30%。为了止损,许多公务员宁可提前退休,以锁定薪资,避免退休金进一步缩减。

自由亚洲电台报道,广州居民徐红说,她的胞妹担任中学教师,去年绩效奖金被停发,“她告诉我工资比2018年减少了45%,现在(年薪)20万人民币都不到。我妹妹带高三,又是班主任。2018年,她拿到近40万元年薪”。

她说,她认识1名派出所警察2022年就可以退休,但他想再工作1年,届时每月退休金可多领1000元人民币至1万人民币,他确实多工作1年,但月退俸反而缩水至5000人民币。

报道指出,广州一名网友表示,他的母亲是在地某高校退休教师,月退俸约8000元人民币,最近接到学校通知,退休进被砍至4500元人民币。

成都一街道办事处周姓负责人说,她放弃55岁以干部身份退休,决定50岁就退休,今年6月她就可以领月退俸,每月可领4000至5000元人民币。

她补充,随著年轻人失业人数增加,越来越多的社会矛盾每天都在爆发,非常可怕,“小店倒闭,灵活就业岗位变少,实际上是很可怕的一件事”。

一名颜姓退休教师说,疫情之后接二连三出现公务员被降薪、被要求退奖金的事情,“这是以前没有过的。老百姓眼中的『铁饭碗』、『金饭碗』现在开始降薪了,这不是发生在一个地方”。

山东张姓居民指出,公务员虽被减薪,但一般民众收入更少,他说,“现在老百姓手里也没钱,有的一个月拿1000多、2000元。我去辖区居委会,看到以旧换新电器,老百姓没有人去那里,或者排队看。破产的企业太多了。我周边的亲戚朋友生活都很不容易”。
