Diet is a necessity
It is very important for people who have problems with heart function or diseased blood vessels to monitor their diet carefully. This will help feed the body with useful vitamins and trace elements, as well as normalize the work of vital organs.
Medics call this type of diet cardiotrophic. It helps to reduce not only the symptoms and development of heart disease, but also significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease in people who are perfectly healthy.
According to nutritionist Anna Zavatskaya, it is useful for "heart patients" to eat foods rich in:
potassium and magnesium (prunes, apricots, citrus fruits, nuts, potatoes, buckwheat, sea kale, whole-grain bread, millet groats, parsley)
Protein (skim milk and cottage cheese, fish and lean meat);
complex carbohydrates (whole-grain bread, cereals, and legumes).
