Balanced diet in case of cardiac diseases, restrictions

Nutrition for ischemic heart disease (angina)

Proper nutrition for heart disease is the basis of successful rehabilitation, strengthening of the heart muscle, reducing the risk of recurrence. Diet No. 10 was developed quite a long time ago, which is used in medical institutions and recommended to patients of cardiologists.

What to eat if the heart is pounding

Even if a diagnosis by a cardiologist has not yet been made and the first uncomfortable sensations in the area of ​​the anatomical heart appeared recently, it is worth adjusting your diet. In this case, significant support will be provided to the heart, and the risk of developing serious cardiac pathologies will decrease. What to eat if the heart is pounding periodically or constantly:

1. Excludes coffee, chocolate and strong black tea, energy drinks, any sweet carbonated drinks. They overload the heart muscle, forcing the heart to beat faster.
2. The amount of salt used is reduced. This spice retains water in the body and the heart has to work in an intensified mode, pumping a significant amount of blood through the vascular bed.
3. Sausages, fast food, semi-finished products, marinades, pickles are completely excluded from the menu. They contain not only a large amount of salt, but also chemical additives that negatively affect the work of the heart.
4. The diet should include fish and seafood, lean meat, milk and fermented milk products, vegetables and fruits in any form.
5. Food should be fractional - eat small portions of food every three hours. Abdominal bloating, a full stomach put pressure on the autonomic nerves, which are "responsible" for the stable operation of the heart.

What to eat with angina pectoris

Angina, or ischemic heart disease, is the most unstudied pathology in cardiology. But doctors know for sure that proper nutrition of such patients ensures long-term remission. What to eat with angina:

• buckwheat and millet porridge;
• boiled rice with the addition of dried apricots and raisins;
• sea cabbage;
• fresh, baked fruits (bananas are generally recommended for daily use);
• sea or river fish, you should choose fatty varieties;
• any dietary meat;
• milk and its derivatives;
• vegetables in any form.

It is extremely important to reduce the patient's weight with the disease in question, because obesity is one of the factors provoking angina pectoris. In principle, general nutritional recommendations make it possible to normalize metabolism and reduce weight. All the more so, as nutrition for coronary heart disease presupposes the refusal of sweets, buttery pastries, and alcoholic beverages.

Heart diseases, regardless of what kind of pathology there is and in what form it occurs, require the refusal of some food products. Moreover, doctors claim that there can be no concessions here - only strict adherence to the nutritionist's recommendations along with therapy will help to avoid serious complications and life-threatening conditions. How to limit nutrition in heart disease:

• exclude fats of animal origin, including butter - they are provoking factors for the formation of cholesterol plaques, which clog blood vessels and force the heart to work in an intensified mode, "for wear and tear";
• refuse from flour products and those products that are fast carbohydrates;
• chocolate, sweets, lemonades, desserts that can be replaced with honey, dried fruits, marshmallows, lozenges are prohibited;
• alcohol is strictly prohibited, including cocktails and beer.

It is important not to engage in self-prescription, but to undergo an examination by a cardiologist. The specialist, firstly, will make a diagnosis, and secondly, he will refer for a consultation to narrower specialists - in particular, to a nutritionist. If the patient needs to lose weight, the doctor will have to determine the level of physical exertion, their type - many exercises are simply prohibited in case of heart disease. Only with such a complex effect on the body and powerful support of the heart will it be possible to cope with diseases, prevent serious problems in the future and, possibly, enter a period of long remission.

Consultations of a cardiologist and nutritionist will be useful for everyone over the age of 40, even if there are no symptoms of heart problems. And you can make an appointment on our website Dobrobut. com.
