Patient's question:
Grandma has coronary heart disease. What foods cannot be eaten? Oranges? Can people with coronary heart disease eat oranges?Doctor's answer:
Patients with coronary heart disease can eat oranges. Patients with coronary heart disease should follow a regular low-salt, low-fat diet and increase their intake of dietary fiber. Oranges are a suitable fruit for patients with coronary heart disease to aid in bowel movements. However, when consuming fruits for bowel movements, patients with coronary heart disease can gently heat the fruits to prevent overly cold temperatures from causing irritation and potentially triggering angina.
