🌿 Folk Prescriptions

Elevated blood lipids mean increased blood viscosity, becoming a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, potentially leading to atherosclerosis, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis, and cerebral arteriosclerosis. Scientific dietary habits—reducing intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods—have been proven effective in lowering lipids.
Therefore, for individuals with slightly elevated lipids but without complications, consistently consuming the following health soups can help reduce lipid levels and prevent further progression of the condition.
