Cardiologist guides on how to eat to prevent stroke
Thay đổi chế độ uống, ăn nhiều rau quả hay ngũ cốc nguyên hạt, đậu và dầu olive không bão hòa sẽ bảo vệ sức khỏe tim mạch, ngừa đột quỵ.
Tiến sĩ Gregory Katz, bác sĩ tim mạch tại Langone Health l, Đại học New York, Mỹ, khuyên như trên, thêm để sống lâu, việc chú ý đến sức khỏe tim mạch từ bây giờ là rất quan trọng. Sai lầm phổ biến mà nhiều người mắc là chờ đợi quá lâu trước khi hành động, có thể gây hậu quả lớn.
Many people think heart disease comes on suddenly without any symptoms. Many wonder why they have heart attacks or strokes. "The seeds are planted very early," says Dr. Katz.
Healthy eating habits and daily exercise can have a big impact on protecting your heart and preventing future heart attacks or strokes. While taking medication isn’t necessarily a bad thing, Dr. Katz says patients sometimes delay taking it to focus on changing their habits and managing their risks.
Many people aren’t honest with themselves about the lifestyle changes they can actually make, Katz says. Focus on small, sustainable changes. Cutting calories from water can make a big difference. The typical American diet is high in processed foods, refined sugars, red meat, and saturated fats. These are all factors linked to high cholesterol and heart disease risk. To protect your heart and lower your cholesterol, eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and unsaturated fats like olive oil.
However, making drastic dietary changes can be difficult, and changing too many things at once can be ineffective. One simple way to improve your heart-healthy diet is to cut back on sugary drinks or alcohol.
Sugary drinks, calories, and alcohol are factors that can be adjusted immediately. According to studies, soft drinks, fruit juices, sweetened coffee drinks, and cocktails can all contribute to health risks such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.
One nutritionist suggested a good strategy for cutting back on sugary drinks is to replace them with the following options:
- Soda mixed with a little fruit juice.
- Unsweetened tea.
- Water is flavored with lemon or herbs like mint.
Shifting calories from water is an important first step to improving key factors for heart health and a longer life. This includes stabilizing blood pressure, blood sugar and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels./.
