Patient's question:
My elderly family member is over seventy. In the past three years, they have experienced discomfort in their heart. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as heart disease. I would like to ask what is good for elderly people with heart disease to eat?Doctor's answer:
First, you need to follow a low-sodium and low-fat diet, as only a low-fat diet can reduce the hardening of coronary arteries. You can also take lipid-regulating medications for treatment.You can eat more foods rich in vitamins, such as oats, because oats contain fiber and also help soften blood vessels. When combined with eggs, dairy products, vegetables, and fruits, it provides a balanced diet, which is very beneficial for protecting your heart. Alternatively, you can eat sardines, as sardines are naturally rich in vitamin C and calcium, which can strengthen the heart and help prevent a recurrence of heart disease. You can cook them according to your preference.
Fungus (wood ear mushrooms) can increase blood clotting, which is very helpful for preventing heart disease. Avoid spicy and irritating foods and always maintain regular bowel movements.
