To maintain a normal state, it is necessary to give up unhealthy food and bad habits. In addition, it is important to remember about a balanced diet.
But what exactly should be included in the diet to maintain the health of the heart and blood vessels? Ekaterina Golovkova spoke about this in more detail, writes kp.ru .
The specialist noted that it is necessary to give up fatty, salty and fried food. Excess harmful components will accumulate in the walls of arteries, which can eventually lead to a heart attack or stroke.
You need to eat five servings of vegetables and fruits per day to get the necessary fiber, which will remove all excess fat.
You should also include fatty fish in your menu to prevent atherosclerosis.
You can eat up to 40 grams of nuts per day. It is acceptable to add up to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (olive, sunflower, linseed or rapeseed) to salads.
Whole grain bread, beans, and lean meat will be beneficial for the body.
Golovkova noted that attention should be paid to berries, which are considered a good antioxidant. This could be currants, gooseberries, raspberries or sea buckthorn. But you shouldn't overdo it, half a glass of berries per day is enough.
