In the hospital, there are always patients who ask: Doctor, I have myocardial ischemia, what is the best way to eat? Can you eat more jujube, ejiao, red beans, pig blood, duck blood, black sesame seeds, brown sugar, pork liver and other blood-replenishing foods to replenish blood?
We all know that myocardial ischemia, if not properly controlled, may lead to aggravation of the disease, and even myocardial infarction, causing sudden death.
So people who have been diagnosed with myocardial ischemia, in their usual diet, what good ways are there, eat something, can improve myocardial ischemia?
We first have to tell you what is myocardial ischemia?
Myocardial ischemia, simply put, is the arterial blood vessels of the heart, which contain vascular garbage, which is what we call plaque. The plaque is more serious, and the cardiovascular stenosis caused by the plaque of the cardiovascular has exceeded 70%; that is to say, the original cardiovascular lumen is unobstructed, and 100% of the blood flow can pass through to supply blood to the heart myocardium. But now because of the plaque of blood vessels, which leads to 70% stenosis, only 30% of the blood flow can pass through and supply blood to the heart's myocardium. If stenosis is 80%, then only 20% is left to supply blood to the heart muscle; if the stenosis is 90%, then only 10% is left to supply blood to the heart muscle.
If you think about it, there was originally 100% blood supply, and now there is only 30% or 20%, or even only 10% blood supply. Then it is easy to develop myocardial ischemia.
Therefore, myocardial ischemia refers to cardiovascular narrowing, causing blood vessels that cannot supply enough blood to the heart muscle. The essence of myocardial ischemia is cardiovascular stenosis.
Many people understand that myocardial ischemia is ischemia in the body, and they have to eat some blood-replenishing food to improve myocardial ischemia.
Since it is not anemia, eating anything naturally cannot directly solve the problem of ischemia. In general, for iron deficiency anemia, iron deficiency anemia can be improved by supplementing some foods, such as: animal liver, animal whole blood, meat, mussels, dried shrimp, black fungus, kelp, sesame seeds, sesame seeds, soybeans, pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds, celery, amaranth, spinach, leeks, lettuce and other iron-rich foods.
This method can be used for mild iron deficiency anemia, while for other causes of anemia, whether it can be treated by diet, blood pressure is determined according to the cause of anemia, and most of them cannot be directly improved by dietary therapy.
Myocardial ischemia caused by cardiovascular stenosis, how should I eat?
So for people who clearly have cardiovascular stenosis, or have myocardial ischemia according to the people' opinions, what matters need to be paid attention to in the usual diet
As we mentioned above, the root cause of myocardial ischemia is actually plaque, so what can you eat to reduce plaque? What do you eat that increases plaque?
For plaques or stenosis that have formed, it is difficult to reduce plaque or narrowness by specifically eating what food, so no matter what food or health products are eaten, it is not possible to reduce plaque or alleviate stenosis. Even if you take regular drugs, it is difficult for most people to reduce plaque.
Therefore, only prevention is the best treatment, so how should we eat to prevent plaque?
It is not said which kind of food it is, and eating a little bit will cause plaque. A diet that causes plaques, or a diet that delays plaques, is a eating habit.
Eating habits that can aggravate plaque:
Foods with high levels of trans fatty acids, trans fatty acids will increase LDL cholesterol, and when LDL cholesterol is elevated, it will accelerate the degree of atherosclerosis, that is, the formation of vascular plaques. Therefore, foods with high trans fatty acid content must be restricted, and should not be eaten all the time, and should not be eaten more.
Specifically, for example, the first category: Western-style fast food, burgers, pizzas; pastries, pastries, pastries, brioche, egg tarts, donuts, wafer biscuits; fried foods, fritters, french fries, potato chips, fried chicken; desserts, ice cream, ice cream, milk tea, coffee companions, etc. There is also the outer packaging with artificial fat, artificial butter, margarine, artificial vegetable butter, vegetable butter, vegetable cream, creamer, cocoa butter, edible hydrogenated oil, shortening, vegetable fat powder and other words, these words are trans fatty acid content of high food.
In addition to the high content of trans fatty acids, there is also a saturated fatty acid, which is simply fat meat, offal, foods with high cholesterol content and so on.
Then there are fine grains, such as large white steamed buns, rice, noodles, etc.; and high-salt foods.
These foods, if overdose for a long time, will accelerate atherosclerosis, and then form vascular plaques, leading to cardiovascular stenosis, and eventually cause myocardial ischemia, and even induce myocardial infarction.
Dietary habits conducive to plaque prevention:
As opposed to the above foods, then in our daily diet, we should appropriately increase dietary fiber, vitamins, folic acid, unsaturated fatty acids, protein, calcium, potassium, magnesium and other minerals. These foods with higher content are conducive to the prevention of atherosclerosis.
Specifically, it is a variety of coarse grains, all kinds of legumes and soy products; all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits; all of which are conducive to our intake of dietary fiber, folic acid, vitamins, minerals and so on.
Proper fish, vegetable oil, etc. are conducive to our intake of unsaturated fatty acids; appropriate amounts of nuts, appropriate amounts of dairy products, and small amounts of lean meat.
The diet grasps the principle of low salt, low oil and low sugar, and eats more than 12 kinds of food every day and more than 25 kinds of food as much as possible every week.
Such a comprehensive diet is conducive to the prevention of atherosclerosis, which is what everyone calls the improvement of myocardial ischemia!
