The diet should be balanced so that the body receives a sufficient amount of vitamins, microelements, fiber and other nutrients.
Particular attention should be paid to foods that have a positive effect on the heart and blood vessels.
Cardiologist Anna Biryukova told Gazeta.Ru about this in more detail.
She noted the benefits of oil (olive, sunflower, rapeseed, corn, soybean), which contains polyunsaturated fatty acids.
The doctor added that it is necessary to eat fatty fish, for example, mackerel or herring, twice a week.
It is also important to eat enough animal and plant protein.
Don't forget about fiber from vegetables, greens, cereals, whole grain bread, etc. Biryukova reminded that it is advisable to eat up to 500 g of vegetables and fruits per day.
Dried fruits will also be beneficial, but you shouldn’t overdo it because of the high sugar concentration.
