Directed on the prevention of heart disease, dietary rules, almost do not differ from the rules of healthy eating a healthy person. Generalize them can be one phrase - everything is good in moderation.
An example is the anti-cholesterol diet.
Cholesterol, in itself, the substance is not harmful, but rather the contrary is useful. Very many life processes are impossible without his presence in the body. The fact is that our body can fully provide itself with the right amount of this substance, internal organs are capable of producing it.
The problem, just, is an overabundance. A person, not knowing the measures, uses too many products containing cholesterol. Then, its surpluses, beginning to be deposited on the walls of blood vessels, hinder the flow of blood, thereby contributing to the onset of diseases. But, if you give up some products, then this risk can be minimized.
Fat meat.
When buying meat, choose low-fat pieces. Cut off all the visible fat from meat, because to refuse to eat meat at all does not.
Animal liver, brains, milk and fish caviar.
They differ in the highest content of cholesterol than in fish meat. Therefore, this food should be consumed in very small quantities.
Milk and milk products.
Acceptable, containing fat content not more than 1%.
Meat offal.
It's sausages, sausages, sausages, ham, pâtés and stuff. The production of these products is not without the preservatives of dyes and thickeners, which is not desirable for eating in a healthy diet.
Cheeses.
Also, not the best option for a healthy diet, especially its fatty, fused and "sausage" varieties.
Butter and margarine.
These products stimulate the production of their own cholesterol in the body, therefore, their consumption should be minimized.
Egg, or rather egg yolk.
Contains a large amount of cholesterol, it is recommended to eat no more than 1-2 times a week.
Mayonnaise, sour cream and cream sauces.
It is advisable to cook on your own, and not to use purchased ones.
Bread, cakes, sweets, milk chocolate and other sweets.
Use, so it should be limited. Their excessive use leads to obesity, and excessive fat mass has a very negative effect on the heart.
But to fight with cholesterol, can help, for example, avocados. This fruit is very healthy for the heart. Fats contained in it are useful monounsaturated fats that lower the amount of "bad" cholesterol and increase the content of "good". Also, the avocado is rich in vitamin B9 (folic acid) and potassium, which, using it, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
So, if you feel healthy, but still want to prevent the occurrence of heart disease, then compliance with the anti-cholesterol diet will be very appropriate.
But, if the disease, nevertheless, managed to get to you, it will take some time, follow the rules of a strict medical diet.
Human nutrition, say after a heart attack, is a very important part of the treatment, and it is simply unacceptable to engage in amateur activities here. Necessarily, on this occasion you need to consult with your doctor. Therefore, we will consider some important aspects of the medical diet that need to be known.

Therapeutic diet, for people who have had the disease, is full of exceptions and limitations. But it's not for long. Usually, after two months of such nutrition, doctors are allowed to switch to a diet that is similar in its composition to that recommended for prevention.
Of course, reasonable restrictions in nutrition, now must always be present. But, in fact it happens for the benefit and absolutely healthy people, and not only for those who suffered a serious illness.
