(4) The diet should be light and low in salt. It is especially important for people with hypertension, and the intake of salt is controlled below 5 grams per day. Can be appropriately increased or decreased with the seasonal activity. For example, if you sweat more in summer and have more outdoor activities, you can appropriately increase your salt intake. In winter, when sweating is less, the activity decreases accordingly, so the salt intake should be controlled.
(5) Eat more protective food. Such as onion, garlic, alfalfa, fungus, kelp, mushrooms, laver and so on. The researchers found that garlic and onion contain essential oil, which is an effective component to prevent and treat atherosclerosis. Essential oil is a mixture of sulfur-containing compounds, mainly allyl disulfide and diallyl disulfide. If you eat raw garlic according to the standard of per kilogram of body weight 1 gram, or raw onion according to the standard of 2 grams per kilogram of body weight, you can prevent coronary heart disease. Moderate drinking tea can prevent and treat coronary heart disease. Tea has the functions of anticoagulation and promoting fibrinolysis. Tea polyphenols in tea can improve the permeability of microvascular wall, effectively enhance the elasticity and resistance of myocardial and vascular wall, and reduce the degree of atherosclerosis. Caffeine and theophylline in tea can directly excite the heart, dilate coronary arteries and enhance myocardial function.
(6) Supply sufficient vitamins, inorganic salts and trace elements. Attention should be paid to eating foods containing magnesium, chromium, zinc, calcium and selenium in the diet. Foods rich in magnesium include millet, corn, beans and bean products, medlar, longan and so on. Magnesium can affect blood lipid metabolism and thrombosis, promote fibrinolysis, inhibit coagulation or stabilize platelets and prevent platelet aggregation. Foods rich in chromium, such as yeast, beef, liver, whole grains, cheese, brown sugar, etc. Chromium can increase the decomposition and excretion of cholesterol. Animal experiments have proved that trace chromium can prevent the formation of atherosclerosis and reduce cholesterol. Foods containing more zinc include meat, oysters, eggs and milk. Scientists believe that the ratio of zinc to copper can affect the content of serum cholesterol. Foods rich in calcium include milk, bean products, seafood such as shrimp skin, etc. Recent studies have shown that the increase of calcium content in diet can prevent hypercholesterolemia caused by hypertension and high-fat diet. When the intake of magnesium is increased, the above symptoms can be alleviated or even eliminated. When people increase their calcium intake, they also increase their magnesium intake. Foods containing more selenium include oysters, fresh shellfish, shrimp skin, sea shrimp, octopus and so on. Selenium supplementation can prevent atherosclerosis, reduce whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, increase coronary blood flow and reduce myocardial damage. ? Eating more vegetables and fruits is good for the heart. Vegetables and fruits are indispensable foods in human diet, which are rich in vitamin C, inorganic salts, cellulose and pectin. All green vegetables or yellow fruits and vegetables contain more carotene, which has antioxidant effect. Vitamin C can affect myocardial metabolism, increase vascular toughness and increase vascular elasticity. Large doses of vitamin C can oxidize cholesterol into cholic acid and excrete it. Kiwi, citrus, lemon and purple eggplant are rich in vitamin C, so you should eat more foods containing more vitamin C.
(7) Avoid alcohol, tobacco and foods with high fat and cholesterol. Patients with coronary heart disease should quit smoking, reduce alcohol consumption, and avoid drinking when they are complicated with hyperlipidemia. And should avoid or use less whole milk, cream, egg yolk, fat pork, fat mutton, fat beef, liver, viscera, butter, lard, butter, sheep oil and coconut oil.
