Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital to listen to a lecture, which mentioned the prevention of coronary heart disease and dietary issues, among other topics. My parents are getting older, and I would like to inquire about the measures for primary prevention of coronary heart disease.Doctor's answer:
For the primary prevention of coronary heart disease, the first step is to control blood pressure and blood lipids. This is especially important for patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, who should take antihypertensive and lipid-lowering medications on time. In fact, it's essential to pay attention to a light diet, avoid greasy foods, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid overtime work. Ensure 8 hours of effective sleep time each day. Don't overeat at dinner, and wait for the food to be digested before taking a nap. Otherwise, it will exacerbate stomach discomfort.
