Coronary heart disease is a common and frequently occurring disease in the elderly, and is an irreversible chronic disease. It is known as the "first killer of health" in the elderly. Winter is a high incidence period of coronary heart disease. In addition to self health care, elderly people should pay more attention to diet.
Winter, coronary heart disease patients in the diet should be noted.
1. Foods that can be consumed at will in the diet of patients with coronary heart disease. Patients with coronary heart disease should eat more vegetables, coarse grains, and some soy products, such as onions, garlic, lentils, and green vegetables, such as mushrooms, agaric, and kelp, which are also good choices. If blood uric acid is high, soy products should be controlled.
2. Appropriate foods in the diet of patients with coronary heart disease. Patients with coronary heart disease should eat a moderate amount of lean pork, beef, and other foods. Vegetable oil, fish, and dairy products should not be consumed as much as they want, and it is not necessary to completely skip them. As long as the amount is moderate, it is still acceptable. Patients with coronary heart disease can also eat two to three eggs per week. You can drink a moderate amount of alcohol, such as half a liang of Baijiu, half a bottle of beer, or 150ml of red wine
3. Patients with coronary heart disease should eat less or avoid food in their diet. For patients with coronary heart disease, fat, fat, and shellfish from some animals such as lard, butter, and chicken oil are absolutely prohibited. Patients with coronary heart disease should not smoke.
4. Avoid eating sugars, which refer to carbohydrates. It is the main source of heat energy in the body. Excessive intake can lead to excessive calorie intake, which can be converted into fat in the body, causing obesity, and raising blood lipids. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the total intake of carbohydrates, especially the intake of sugar. Studies have shown that fructose is higher than sucrose and sucrose is higher than starch in the role of raising blood lipids in carbohydrates. Therefore, it is recommended to eat complex sugars and control refined sugars: choose foods with more plant fiber such as starch, brown rice, and corn, and eat less monosaccharides, such as sucrose and fructose.
5. The incidence rate of coronary heart disease in non-smokers is three times higher than that in non-smokers. Frequent consumption of strong alcohol can lead to heart disease and hyperlipidemia due to alcoholism. Excessive ethanol can also increase the heart's oxygen consumption, exacerbating coronary heart disease. Smoking should be stopped and alcohol restricted. Stimulating foods such as strong tea and chilies should also be eaten with caution.
