Reference

Atherosclerosis is a disease of blood vessels that lose flexibility as a result of harmful factors, become hard due to the deposition of fats on the walls and, as a result, narrow, which reduces blood access to organs. The disease leads to thrombosis and ischemic damage to organs. Atherosclerosis is considered one of the most dangerous diseases that leads to death.

When should you start a diet for cardiovascular diseases?

If you are concerned about any symptoms of the cardiovascular system, I recommend that you make an appointment with a cardiologist and undergo a full examination.

The doctor will ask you in detail about your complaints, what medications you are currently taking, so before seeing a cardiologist, it is better to prepare a blood pressure monitoring diary with measurements in the morning and evening, write down under what physical or emotional stress pain in the heart area appears, whether you feel it under the shoulder blade, in the left hand. If you have already taken medications, note their name and dosage so that the doctor can choose treatment for you.

If there is a lack of vitamins and minerals in your diet, your doctor will select them for you in the form of dosage forms and individually prescribe the dosage

Be healthy!!! And we will always help you find the “Path to Health”

The article was written by physician-therapist L.D. Khazieva.

Why is it important to adhere to therapeutic nutrition for heart disease?

One of the main goals of therapeutic nutrition is to enhance the effect of taking medications prescribed by a doctor. In some cases, with a properly selected diet, it is possible to do without medications altogether or significantly reduce their amount and period of use. For this reason alone, it is worth listening to the advice of an experienced nutritionist and switching to a therapeutic diet immediately after making the appropriate diagnosis.

A nutritionist will help develop a treatment menu and the required level of physical activity at which the load on the heart and blood vessels will be optimal. In addition, a nutrition consultant will tell you which habits you should give up right now.

These include smoking, drinking alcohol, overeating, abuse of simple carbohydrates, leading to obesity and insulin resistance ( diabetes mellitus

is an aggravating factor in cardiovascular diseases).

Another important task of diet therapy is the correction of metabolic disorders that inevitably arise with such diagnoses, relieving the heart from excessive stress, and improving the absorption of food through proper diet.

Thanks to a special diet, it will be possible to normalize weight, lower blood pressure, reduce lipid and blood sugar levels, and reduce the susceptibility to thrombosis. All this will certainly affect your well-being and general health, and will also significantly reduce the risk of developing serious cardiovascular pathologies and complications, disease progression and death.

Allowed foods

Nutrition for angina pectoris includes foods that do not contradict the listed general principles of a healthy diet. These include:

  • porridge (wheat, buckwheat, millet, oatmeal, barley);
  • dried fruits (dried apricots, raisins, prunes);
  • fresh or baked fruits and vegetables;
  • vegetable oils;
  • fish, seaweed;
  • dietary types of meat (game, chicken, turkey);
  • dairy products;
  • honey.

All of them are rich sources of microelements (phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, sodium, zinc) and vitamins. In the human body, they normalize metabolism and establish its balance. If angina pectoris is diagnosed, then the diet includes more different leafy vegetables, for example, cabbage, parsley, spinach. You can remove excess cholesterol from the body by daily eating food with coarse fibers, which mechanically cleanse the intestines, slowing down the process of vascular damage. Water balance is achieved by drinking a couple of liters of water per day.
