Atherosclerosis is a common disease, but it develops widely, even in the lungs. When symptoms appear, people often feel tired after exercise. Once the disease of pulmonary arteriosclerosis is found, it should be treated in time. Diet therapy can also be used to improve the symptoms of this disease. So let's take a look at the dietary treatment of this abdominal aortic sclerosis disease:

Dietary principle

① Low-calorie diet: The total calories provided by diet are to maintain normal weight, and it is appropriate to need about 30 ~ 35 calories per kilogram of body weight every day. Excessive calories can easily make people fat, and usually the serum cholesterol concentration will also increase.

② Diet with low cholesterol and low animal fat: Excessive consumption of foods containing cholesterol and animal fat can easily increase serum cholesterol and triglycerides and promote atherosclerosis due to endocrine and lipid metabolism disorders. Even if the concentration of serum cholesterol and triglycerides is not high at ordinary times, it is necessary to avoid eating foods with high animal fat and cholesterol, and try to eat vegetable oil, soybeans and bean products. Vegetable oil should not be eaten too much. Too much vegetable oil will make people obese and promote the formation of atherosclerosis.

③ Low-salt diet: The main components of salt are sodium ion and chloride ion. Excessive intake of sodium can prevent water from being filtered out by the kidneys, increase circulating blood volume, raise blood pressure and increase the burden on the heart. Therefore, patients with hypertension and heart failure should limit their salt intake. The daily intake of sodium salt should be less than 3 grams. Do not eat or eat less salty food such as pickles and sauces.

④ Multi-vitamin and multi-cellulose diet: Vitamin C has the functions of enhancing vascular toughness, reducing brittleness and preventing vascular rupture and bleeding. The main foods containing vitamin C are fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits contain more plant cellulose. A large amount of cellulose can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and promote cholesterol excretion. Cellulose also has the function of adsorbing cholesterol, which makes it difficult for cholesterol to be absorbed by intestinal mucosa, thus reducing the content of serum cholesterol.

⑤ Avoid all irritating foods and cigarettes: Common irritating foods include strong tea, strong coffee, peppers, peppers and spirits. Strong tea, strong coffee, etc. Will make the brain in a state of excitement, which will affect sleep. Nicotine in tobacco leaves can constrict blood vessels, leading to an increase in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate. Smoking will increase the secretion of adrenaline and promote the development of arteriosclerosis. Strong liquor can cause strong damage to nerve cells and easily become the cause of lipid metabolism disorder. Hard liquor can also destroy liver cells, promote the synthesis of cholesterol, and then increase the triglyceride content of cholesterol in serum.

The above content introduces us to this diet therapy for pulmonary arteriosclerosis, so the improvement of diet is the key to treat the disease, and there are many dietary items that need to be paid attention to, which must be followed when treating the disease, otherwise it will have a great impact on the disease. If pulmonary arteriosclerosis is serious, you should seek medical attention in time and then control the disease with drugs.
