Changing People’s Habits-Main Factor in the Treatment of Hyperlipidemias
Željko Reiner
Sažetak
Intervention strategies for coronary heart
disease (CHD) must include attention to life-style factors and
changing people's habits. Since hypercholesterolemia is one
of the most important risk factors for CHD, the modification
of this risk factor including dietary factors, cessation of smoking,
improving exercise, sensible drinking, attainment of ideal
body weight as well as control of hypertension and diabetes
is essential. The dietary changes should include reduction in
intake of total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol, relative
increase in intake of poly- and monounsaturated fats, and an
increase in intake of dietary fibre, vitamin and mineral antioxidants.
In this review article the effect of diet on serum lipids
is discussed and particular attention is payed on trans fatty
acids, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, dietary fibre, vitamins
E and C, flavonoids, garlic, alcohol, tee, coffee and
nuts. The recommendations concerning an exercise regime
are also presented.
