Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a friend who is 60 years old this year. There is a problem that has been troubling her, and she doesn't know how to deal with it. She wants to ask me to consult you. What should elderly people with heart disease eat? She especially needs your clarification and explanation. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
For patients with coronary heart disease, dietary treatment is particularly important. In daily life, it is essential to consume plenty of fresh vegetables, such as celery, black fungus, cucumber, and tomatoes, which are rich in vitamins and can also help regulate blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Additionally, fruits like jujubes, longans, kiwis, and apples can be eaten to supplement vitamins and provide some tonifying Qi effects. However, overall, it is important to consume everything in moderation, maintain a balanced diet, and ensure a proper mix of meat and vegetables.
