Unhealthy eating habits and irrational diets often lead to various diseases, such as coronary heart disease. The occurrence of coronary heart disease is closely related to diet, so while actively seeking treatment for coronary heart disease, attention should also be paid to diet. What should be noted in the diet of patients with coronary heart disease? Let's find out together!
【Dietary considerations for patients with coronary heart disease】
1. High-fat, greasy, and heavily seasoned foods should be avoided. The diet of coronary heart disease patients should adhere to the principle of "low salt, low fat, low cholesterol, high vitamins, high fiber, and high-quality protein".
2. Patients with coronary heart disease should consume more high-cholesterol foods, such as animal organs, brains, spinal cords, egg yolks, fish roe, and various shellfish. A high-fat diet can aggravate coronary artery atherosclerosis. In addition, high blood lipid levels can cause blood to become viscous and slow down blood circulation, leading to aggravation of myocardial ischemia and angina.
3. Patients with coronary heart disease should quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Harmful substances in cigarettes directly damage the circulatory system, leading to peripheral blood vessel constriction, increased blood pressure, accelerated heart rate, increased myocardial oxygen consumption, and arrhythmia. Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease should strictly quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption.
4. Binge eating and excessive consumption of stimulant drinks are also detrimental to health. Binge eating can increase blood flow in the digestive tract, leading to inadequate blood supply and oxygen to the myocardium, as well as increased pressure and congestion in the gastrointestinal tract. Increased blood sugar, blood lipids, and slow blood flow can cause myocardial ischemia and hypoxia.
The above are the considerations for the diet of patients with coronary heart disease. After understanding the taboos in the diet of coronary heart disease, it is important to pay attention to diet and avoid consuming foods that are detrimental to health.
