For the people who get coronary heart disease or want to prevent it, you had better notice the rules in the following:
First, you should control total calories to maintain a normal weight. Among them, sugar in the proportion of total calories should be controlled in 55% to 60%. You should eat more whole grains to increase the content of complex carbohydrates, fiber and vitamin. Monosaccharides and disaccharides, etc. should be properly controlled; especially the people of hyperlipidemia and obesity should pay attention.
Second, you should limit fat. Fat intake should be limited to less than 25% of total calories, and mainly is plant fat. You can proper eat lean meat, poultry, and fish. The fat of sea-fish contains polyunsaturated fatty acids, it can affect human lipid metabolism, lowering serum cholesterol and serum triglycerides, thus protecting the cardiovascular and preventing coronary heart disease. Thus, eating sea-fish is good for the prevention of coronary heart disease. In addition, dietary cholesterol intake should be controlled; daily intake of cholesterol should be less than 300 mg. The cholesterol in an egg IS close to 300 mg, when you have coronary heart disease, you should control the intake of eggs, and eggs should be half a day or an egg every two days. Not get to eat a few eggs one day. You also need to limit the internal organs of animals, the brain and so on.
Third, the right amount of protein. Proteins are essential nutrients to maintain the heart, which can enhance the resistance, but too much protein intake is bad for coronary heart disease. Because the protein is not digestible, it can speed up metabolism, increasing the burden on the heart. Thus, excessive intake of animal protein will increase the attack rate of coronary heart disease. Therefore, protein should be adequate. It is appropriate that protein content in food daily per kg of body weight does not exceed 1 gram, and it should be used in milk, yogurt, fish and soy in the prevention of coronary heart disease.
Fourth, Diet should be plain and low-salt. It is particularly important for those with high blood pressure; salt intake of daily is controlled below 5 grams. But it may be appropriate changed with the seasons. Summer sweat more, and more outdoor activities, it may be appropriate to increase the salt intake. In winter, sweat less, and the activity is less, so salt intake should be controlled.
