* Because the subjects of the study have different chronic diseases, the trend of blood indicators before intervention is not the same. This will mask the effects of the intervention during statistical analysis. Therefore, covariance analysis was used to analyze the difference between the two groups at 6 weeks after testing the adjusted covariates. A two-sided p value of less than 0.05 indicated statistical significance. According to the diagnostic criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO). See clinical treatment effect criteria for criteria of significant improvement and become better in outcome measures section. ^† Hypertension is a clinical syndrome characterized by elevated systemic arterial blood pressure (systolic blood pressure (>140 mm Hg) and diastolic blood pressure (>90 mm Hg). ^‡ Hyperlipidemia refers to high blood lipid levels, which can directly cause diseases that seriously endanger human health, such as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, pancreatitis, etc., fasting TCHO, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C. ^§ Become better + Significant improvement/total cases (%).
