First of all, it should be clear that placing stents in coronary artery stenosis and blockage is not a once-and-for-all practice. It is by no means that after the stent propped up the blood vessels, the blood supply recovered, which means that our coronary heart disease has been "cured". Stent is only a physical support to improve the problem of blood vessel blockage, and it has no treatment or improvement effect on the development of coronary atherosclerosis and the gradual development of plaque. Therefore, even if stents are placed, we should pay attention to the prevention and control of cardiovascular health risks and reduce the prevention of secondary cardiovascular diseases, which is commonly called "secondary prevention".
So in daily life, especially in diet, how do we do secondary prevention after stent implantation? Today, let's not talk about drugs or exercise. Let's talk about some important matters in diet after stent implantation.
In fact, a healthy diet is sexual. In general, maintain a balanced and adequate nutrition, and will not consume too much energy, resulting in excess energy in the body; At the same time, it can also be beneficial to cardiovascular health, that is, a good diet, and it is also a healthy diet that should be adhered to and achieved after stent implantation.
The above paragraph is the general principle. Let's talk about specific dietary advice-
First of all, low salt, low fat and low sugar, high salt affects blood pressure, high fat affects blood lipids, and high sugar affects blood sugar. For many friends with coronary heart disease, it is often a patient with three highs. In the diet structure, it is particularly important to control low salt, low fat and low sugar. Suggestions in this regard specifically include using less edible salt and oil, while paying attention to eating less fried, grilled and fried ingredients, eating less processed snacks and processed meat products, and drinking less drinks with high sugar or sodium. These aspects deserve special attention.
You can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, but if there is a problem with blood sugar control, you should pay attention to the right amount and choose low-sugar fruits to eat. Just eat the fruit directly without juicing.
There is no need to ban meat completely, but to control the amount, animal lipids will increase our lipid metabolism burden, and try to eat less. We should use skinless poultry and fish instead of red meat such as pigs, cows and sheep, and eat as little fat as possible. It should be noted that the intake should not be large. Just eat some every day.
Many friends are afraid to eat eggs and drink milk because of stent surgery. Actually, it's totally unnecessary. It is no problem to eat an egg every day and drink a box of skim or low-fat pure milk every day. It can not only supplement the body with high-quality protein and other fat-soluble vitamins, but also has no adverse effects on the cardiovascular system.
Snacks can choose nuts and fruits. Nuts are high in calories, just one handful a day, and fruits have low sugar content. Eating between meals is not easy to affect blood sugar.
Among staple foods, it is suggested that polished rice and white flour with miscellaneous grains can reduce energy intake, increase dietary fiber intake and control body weight and blood sugar level.
It is necessary to strictly limit drinking, and it is best not to drink if you can. Drinking alcohol will affect the body's lipid metabolism and blood sugar, leading to the risk of hypoglycemia. These are all important factors affecting cardiovascular health, and long-term heavy drinking is even more undesirable.
If you are a friend with a heart stent, you may wish to make targeted changes according to your diet structure. In addition to the adjustment of diet structure, we should also pay attention to the timing of three meals in eating habits, avoid overeating, control intake, replenish water for the body, and do these aspects well, which are all important aspects conducive to cardiovascular health and can reduce cardiovascular problems again. It is worth our unremitting efforts.
