A bad heart is a very subjective feeling, some people may feel that as long as there is panic and discomfort, that is a bad heart, in fact, the disease may not be in the heart. Therefore, people with a bad heart must first determine how bad it is, whether it is a heart disease, and how serious the condition is.

What's the best thing to eat less of with a bad heart?

By bad heart, we usually mean coronary heart disease, which is usually found in middle-aged and elderly people. It is a heart disease caused by the formation of atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries, which narrows the blood vessels. In addition, there are congenital heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure and so on, some of which are caused by genetics and may require surgical treatment, some of which are caused by disease and require active treatment of the original disease, and some of which are irreversible heart disease and require conservative treatment to control the condition.

Regardless of the type of heart disease, as long as it is determined that it is a bad heart, it is time to be vigilant and careful in every way, because there are so many risks in our daily life that can jeopardize the health of the heart. It may be that some small things that healthy people can do are fatal behaviors for heart patients, such as lifting a heavy object, running, quarreling with others and so on, all of which may cause serious consequences, or even directly fatal. As for diet, it is also something that heart patients need to be careful about.

Diet is important for people with heart disease!

The reason why eating is important for people with bad hearts is because studies do confirm that eating incorrectly increases the risk of heart disease and eating right decreases the risk of heart disease.

• Numerous studies have shown that excessive carbohydrate intake elevates inflammatory factors in the body, accelerates vascular endothelial damage, and increases the risk of ischemic heart disease.
• Some studies have shown that prolonged intake of excessive high-sugar foods can interfere with the normal metabolism of fat and change the way fat is metabolized, which in turn leads to the accumulation of fat in the blood and liver and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Some studies have shown that food debris, after entering the gut, can lead to an imbalance in the intestinal flora, inducing an inflammatory response, plus metabolites entering the circulatory system can affect heart health.

Not only that, long-term intake of high-salt food will induce high blood pressure, long-term intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol food will induce high blood fat, long-term intake of high-sugar food will induce diabetes mellitus, and the three highs are precisely the high-risk risk factors for cardiovascular disease. In addition, poor dietary habits such as overeating and eating too much too fast will also aggravate the heart load. From these facts, diet is really important to protect the heart.

How should people with bad hearts eat?

First, make sure you have good eating habits.A good diet is to protect the foundation of heart health, at least to do three meals a day, regular and quantitative, eat slowly, chew slowly, each meal to seven or eight minutes full, do not have the habit of overeating, not to eat too much.

Second, eat fewer foods that are bad for your heart.To protect your heart, you must stay away from unhealthy foods that are high in salt, sugar, fat and cholesterol, such as fried foods, desserts, pickled foods, processed meats, animal offal, sugary drinks, etc. These are all contraindications for people with heart disease, so don't eat them. In addition, all kinds of alcoholic beverages are best avoided, and red wine should be drunk sparingly. There are also strong tea, strong coffee and other stimulating drinks, the heart is not good can not drink.

Third, choose foods that are good for your heart.Bad heart to eat more vegetables and fruits, coarse grains and other foods rich in dietary fiber, research shows that people who often eat vegetables, will reduce the risk of heart disease, especially cabbage, spinach and other green leafy vegetables. In addition, to eat more food rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including deep-sea fish, olive oil, nuts, these help to protect cardiovascular health, can replace red meat, animal fats and other unhealthy fats.

A bad heart is a very large category, and any heart problem can be called a bad heart. The main common aspects of the heart are coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, and heart failure.

What do people with a bad heart need to eat less of in their diet?

1. Sodium should be eaten sparingly

• Sodium salt, common in life is mainly table salt, as well as seasonings inside the soy sauce, monosodium glutamate contain sodium salt.
• In addition, some pickled foods, such as salted vegetables, kimchi, salted fish and ham. These are relatively high in salt。
  
  
  

What are the harmful effects of eating too much sodium?

• Eating too much sodium can lead to an increase in blood pressure, especially for us Chinese, most of whom are sodium-sensitive. There are 245 million Chinese with high blood pressure, and eating too much sodium is one of the main reasons.
• So whether you are a normal person or someone with a bad heart, sodium should be kept low. Keep it within 6 grams of salt per day.
• Also, for patients with heart failure, sodium restriction is an important part of symptom control. In fact, in the human body, sodium and water go together, and when sodium is high, there is bound to be more water. Too much sodium is not good for heart failure symptom control, and with too much sodium, diuretics become less effective.
  
  

2、High cholesterol, high calorie food

• This one is also for everyone, not just people with bad hearts, but also healthy people who eat less high-fat, high-calorie foods.
• For example: cream, chocolate, fried foods, fatty meats, etc.
  
  

The dangers of high cholesterol, high calorie foods?

• The main danger of high-calorie, high-cholesterol foods is that they lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Cholesterol is the most important factor leading to atherosclerosis. When atherosclerosis is formed, it leads to diseases such as coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction.
• Also, elevated triglycerides are dangerous and can cause acute pancreatitis.
  
  

3、Strong tea, coffee

• Strong tea and coffee are mainly for those who have arrhythmia and have symptoms. For example, if you often feel panic and chest tightness, you should not drink strong tea and coffee, which may aggravate the symptoms.

4. Drink less alcohol too

Some organic heart disease may have hypertension, coronary heart disease, myocarditis, myocardial ischemia, angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, all of these will induce insufficient blood supply on the basis of heart disease. So you need to eat less of the following foods.

1. Foods smoked with salt

These foods will contain a large amount of salt, salt will cause atherosclerosis, blood supply is insufficient, causing small blood vessel spasm, serious will appear hypertension, hyperlipidemia, especially some metabolic disorders syndrome, the emergence of these triggers will cause atherosclerosis, myocarditis cardiomyopathy incidence.

2.animal viscera

Because these animal offal will be rich in protein, especially some of the blood fat is relatively high, metabolic disorder syndrome, instability, there will be lipid metabolism disorders, inducing increased blood viscosity, the formation of thrombus.

3.Reduce sodium intake

Most of the 80% of people's food will come from sodium, from cooking ingredients or from various pickles, it will reduce these cooking salts, so the daily consumption of salt needs to be under 6 grams.

4. Coffee and strong tea.

These stimulating foods will appear to increase blood pressure, especially in some cases of poor sleep quality, long-term atherosclerosis blood supply is insufficient, there will be this autonomic dysfunction, induced palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, may aggravate the burden on the heart, and the emergence of primary heart disease.

5. Some seafood food, seafood food, most may feel is some tonic, but eat more may increase gout, high uric acid formation, coupled with the formation of ventilated stones, these will induce arthritis pain, hyperuricemia will also induce myocarditis, cardiomyopathy incidence.

In addition to diet, patients with a bad heart need to control their blood pressure, blood lipids and blood glucose, as well as risk factors for diabetes and coronary heart disease based on gender, age, smoking, cholesterol level, blood creatinine level. On the basis of treating the primary disease, it is necessary to control the occurrence of some risk factors, and at the same time need to pay attention to improve the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factors as much as possible to reduce blood pressure, if necessary, control blood pressure, improve the adherence to the treatment, but also should take into account the impact on glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, high uric acid metabolism.

What's the best thing to eat less of with a bad heart?

There are many types of heart disease, including coronary heart disease, coronary artery disease, hypertensive heart disease, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, arrhythmia, etc. Heart failure can occur in advanced stages of development.

As mentioned earlier, there are many different types of heart disease, each with their own characteristics as well as some possible dietary contraindications, so what is the best thing for people with a bad heart to eat less of?

(i) Salt. A diet high in salt can lead to elevated blood pressure and increased anterior and posterior cardiac load, which is detrimental to patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease, and heart failure.

(ii) Oil. That is, a high-fat diet, which can lead to the development of atherosclerosis, and in the case of the heart, its ability to cause or exacerbate coronary heart disease, which can adversely affect the patient.

(iii) Sugar. Excessive intake of sugar substances, which can be converted into fat in the body, leading to the emergence or aggravation of obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and adversely affecting the heart.

(iv) Fluids. Patients with heart failure have heavy cardiac preload and afterload, and at this time the amount of fluid intake needs to be limited to reduce cardiac preload, and if too much fluid is taken in it may aggravate the heart failure.

(v) Strong tea and coffee. The above drinks contain theophylline, caffeine and other substances that are not conducive to the recovery of patients with arrhythmia.

To summarize, people with bad hearts had better eat less salt, oil and sugar, heart failure patients need to control fluid intake, and arrhythmia patients need to eat less strong tea and coffee.

1. Reduce spicy and irritating foods

2. Reduce the consumption of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods such as fatty meat, animal liver, oil, etc.. To control the daily calorie intake to prevent overweight.

3. Less salt, too much salt intake will lead to sodium and water retention, increase blood volume and aggravate the heart load.

What's the best thing to eat less of with a bad heart?

When it comes to the issue of bad heart, any discomfort of the heart can be said to be bad heart, such as palpitations, panic attacks, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, myocarditis, heart failure, and so on. A bad heart can be a heart attack, it can be a cardiac neurosis, or it can be a self-perception of a heart problem when it is not a heart problem itself.

In short there are many, many reasons for a bad heart, heart health is tied to everyday life, and some diets are not good for your heart's health.
1.盐

Studies have found that a low-salt diet can significantly lower blood pressure while reducing mortality from ischemic heart disease and stroke. It's not actually eating too much salt that directly damages the heart, but rather it affects the heart through several possible factors. Eating too much salt is prone to sodium and water storage, thus increasing the burden on the heart. Eat too much salt, especially our Asian people, there are actually a part of the hypertensive patients with salt sensitivity, that is to say, after eating too much salt, the blood pressure will rise, and after the blood pressure rises on the heart is affected. In addition to explicitly adding less salt in daily life, you should also be careful of some hidden salt, processed meats, sausages, bacon, hot dogs, ham and other processed meats, most of which have been smoked, cured, salted and so on. Processed red meat products contain high levels of sodium, nitrates, phosphates, etc., all of which have an adverse effect on the heart. Some snacks also contain salt and are eaten sparingly.

2. High fat

Long-term high-fat diet, excessive fat intake, high calories, more than physiological needs, not consumed on the body is a burden and garbage, it will increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and coronary heart disease.

3.糖

Too much sugar (including glucose, sucrose, and fructose) increases the risk of obesity, diabetes, and coronary heart disease, just as high fat does.

The more sugar-sweetened beverages you drink, the higher your blood triglyceride levels will be, and the more harmful they will be to your heart.

4. Fried food

People who eat a lot of fried food have a 56% more risk of developing heart disease over the next six years compared to those who eat a healthy diet. More than 500,000 deaths from cardiovascular disease each year are linked to trans fat intake. Foods like fried chicken and French fries are not only high in fat but also high in cholesterol and should be eaten sparingly by people with bad hearts.

5. Tobacco and alcohol

Smoking and drinking these two are also the deadliest factors leading to heart disease. Smoking can increase the risk of heart attack 7 times, nicotine-like substances in cigarettes, can stimulate the sympathetic nerve, causing damage to the lining of blood vessels, and then cause coronary atherosclerosis.
