Features: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a type of heart disease caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, leading to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. It primarily affects middle-aged and elderly individuals over the age of 40. Its main symptoms include angina, myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia or necrosis. Hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as smoking, are important risk factors for CHD and are considered the leading killer of middle-aged and elderly people's health. In recent years, the incidence of CHD has shown a continuous upward trend, warranting high attention.
Dietary treatment for CHD is guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory, integrating natural foods with natural medicines. This approach preserves the nutritional benefits of natural foods while also providing the disease-preventive and therapeutic effects of medicinal ingredients. Generations of medical experts have also emphasized the principle of "food therapy being superior to medicinal therapy." Dietary therapy not only supplements the nutrients the human body needs but also improves patients' constitution and enhances their disease resistance, ultimately achieving the goals of preventing illness before it occurs, preventing complications when illness arises, and self-treating minor conditions.
The book Healthy Kitchen Coronary Heart Disease Health Recipes adheres to the principle that dietary treatment is key. It is divided into two parts: Part 1: "Recipe Therapy"; and Part 2: "Medicated Diet Therapy." These sections feature over 500 different types of dishes, soups, noodle dishes, porridge, beverages, and teas with therapeutic and health benefits, providing detailed introductions to their cooking methods, characteristics, and effects. The ingredients are reasonably matched, the operations are convenient, and the recipes are cost-effective, making the book highly scientific and practical.
