Diet of patients with coronary heart disease

summary

The etiology of coronary heart disease has not been fully understood. At present, it is believed that it is related to the disorder of lipid metabolism in the body. Among the risk factors of coronary heart disease, the most important are hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and smoking; the second are obesity, diabetes and psychoneurologic factors; there are also some unchangeable factors, such as family genetic history, age, gender (male), etc. So let me tell you the diet of coronary heart disease patients.

Diet of patients with coronary heart disease

First, control the quality and quantity of fat intake. Many studies have proved that long-term consumption of large amounts of fat is the main factor causing arteriosclerosis in animals. It is also proved that the quality of fat has a greater impact on blood lipids, and dietary cholesterol content has a certain impact on lipid metabolism in vivo, which should be properly controlled.

Second, control sugar intake. Carbohydrates are the main source of body heat energy. Excessive intake of carbohydrates can lead to caloric excess, which can also be converted into fat in the body, causing obesity and increasing blood lipid. To strictly control the total amount of carbohydrate intake, especially sugar intake, generally not more than 10% of the total calories is appropriate.

Third, provide rich vitamins. Vitamin C can promote cholesterol to produce cholic acid, which can reduce blood cholesterol, improve coronary circulation and protect vascular wall. Nicotinic acid can dilate peripheral blood vessels, prevent thrombosis, and reduce blood triglyceride levels. Vitamin E has antioxidant effect, can prevent unsaturated fatty acid peroxidation, protect myocardium and improve myocardial hypoxia, prevent thrombosis.

matters needing attention

A small number of meals, avoid overeating, dinner should not eat too full, otherwise easy to induce acute myocardial infarction. No alcohol. Alcohol can accelerate heart rate and aggravate myocardial hypoxia, so alcohol should be forbidden.
