One of the most common questions patients ask me is that if I have coronary heart disease, what should I not eat?
Let's talk about whether coronary heart disease should be taboo or not. Patients are often told by doctors not to eat this and not to eat that. In fact, whether you can eat or not depends on the 4 indicators of the body:
The first indicator is blood pressure. Friends with coronary heart disease should control blood pressure below 130/80mmHg, the factor that diet has a greater impact on blood pressure is salt intake, therefore, blood pressure is not well controlled, we must eat less salt, our normal diet, salt intake a day reaches about 13 grams, according to the guidelines, salt should be controlled below 5 grams, therefore, eat as little salt as possible.

The second indicator is blood sugar. Coronary heart disease combined with elevated blood sugar should control fasting blood glucose below 7.0mmol/L and glycosylated hemoglobin below 7%. Excessive fat intake will affect blood sugar control, therefore, high blood sugar should not only eat less staple foods, eat less polished rice and fine noodles, but also control the intake of meat, not to mention fatty meat, which is a high-fat food.
The third indicator is LDL cholesterol. This index is very important for friends with coronary heart disease, it is a visible evaluation index, for the very high-risk groups diagnosed with coronary heart disease, diabetes, and heart stents, this index should be controlled below 1.4 mmol/L, and eat has a lot to do with it, if it is not up to standard, you need to strictly control the diet, fatty meat contains high cholesterol, and friends with coronary heart disease should not eat. It is still necessary to eat lean meat properly to supplement the necessary protein.
The fourth indicator is uric acid. Coronary heart disease is often combined with elevated uric acid, and foods that are easy to cause high uric acid need to be controlled, such as animal offal, broth, hot pot, mushrooms, liquor and beer, etc., all need to be strictly controlled.
Therefore, the so-called taboo is relative, as long as the index control is good, the dietary restrictions can be appropriately relaxed, otherwise, the control is strengthened.
For friends with coronary heart disease, in addition to the control of diet during the festival, we should also pay attention to 4 points:
One is not to eat too much. Eating too much at one time will redistribute blood, causing ischemia of the heart and brain, and inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.
The second is not to eat too well. Eating too carefully is not conducive to the control of blood lipids. It also increases blood viscosity and increases the risk of thrombosis.
The third is not to be overly indulgent. Drink some alcohol during the holidays, but don't indulge, a high-fat diet plus smoking and a lot of alcohol are taboos for coronary heart disease, which is very easy to induce blockage of blood vessels.
Fourth, pay attention to identifying red flags. During the festival, because the lifestyle will change greatly, so we must pay attention to possible accidents in the body, once there is chest tightness, palpitation, paroxysmal tightness in the precordial area, throat blockage, and even precordial pain, accompanied by sweating and dyspnea, etc., we must be highly vigilant, do not miss the best time to see a doctor because of the New Year. #健康过春节 ##硬核健康科普计划#
