Diet And Heart Disease
Tong Bee
The foods that are good for you with heart disease are the same
foods that are good for anyone who wants to eat well. You should eat a
variety of foods in moderate amounts, while watching the fats in your
diet. The difference is that diets planned for individuals with
diabetes need greater consistency in the amounts and types of
food eaten and in the timing of meals and snacks. It's better
to drink water, unsweetened tea or Chinese tea or diet soda.
Add a wedge of lemon for smell. Popular drinks such as tea with
tapioca, or fruit with tapioca, or crimson noodle with tapioca
should be avoided unless made with artificial bait. If you
select to drink intoxicating beverages, restrict your
consumption to no much than one beverage a day for women, two
for men, and drink simply with a meal.
To reduce fat and cholesterol, eat no more than 6 cooked ounces
of meat, poultry, and fish daily. One serving of meat should be
about the size of a deck of cards on your plate. Use skinless
turkey, chicken, fish, or lean red meat to reduce the amount of
saturated fat in your diet. Lean, 3 ounce cuts of red meat may
be used occasionally. Trim all the available fat prior to
cooking the meat. Eat two servings of fish per week. Cook by
baking, broiling, roasting, steaming, boiling, or microwaving
quite than profound fat frying. For the principal entree,
consumption little meat or get meatless meals a few times a
week. Use smaller amounts of meat to cut the overall plump
substance of the meal. Use no much than 5-8 teaspoons of fats
or oils per day for salads, cooking, and baking.
Do we need B vitamins supplements to reduce heart disease risk?
Most research suggests that consuming the RDA for folate,
vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 is sufficient. Should we have our
homocysteine levels tested? At this time, no major health
organization recommends across-the-board testing for
homocysteine. Some physicians, however, do advise testing for
people with a strong family history of heart disease and those
who have suffered a heart attack or other coronary event in the
absence of high blood cholesterol or other risk factors.
