Combined (mixed hyperlipidemia) diet

Here the pattern of blood lipid increases is very different and subject to fluctuations. Accordingly, different priorities must be set in nutritional therapy. If the total and LDL cholesterol are increased, the rules of a low cholesterol diet apply in the first place.

If the cholesterol level is high (LDL high, HDL low) and the triglycerides increase at the same time, it is advisable to increase the proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids (olive oil, rapeseed oil, nut oil), and to reduce saturated fatty acids from animal products. It is also recommended to eat cold water fish regularly, to increase the fiber content of the daily diet and not to drink alcohol.

Special features of hypertriglyceridemia

All products marked in the list as suitable in measure that contain sugar should also be omitted here. Such as sugary cereals, breakfast cereals, white rice, white pasta, all sugars and confectionery and sugary soft drinks. It is also recommended to eat cold water fish regularly (Normal weight approx. 100 g per day).
