Coronary heart disease, also called coronary artery disease or ischemic heart disease, it characterized by an inadequate supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle (myocardium) because of narrowing or blocking of a coronary artery by fatty plaques. If the oxygen depletion is extreme, the effect may be a myocardial infarction (heart attack); if the deprivation is insufficient to cause infarction (death of a section of heart muscle), the effect may be angina pectoris, or spasms of pain in the chest. Control it by eating healthy Diet
Follow the below diet to lower the risk of Coronary Heart Disease,
Low in saturated & Tran’s fats.
Saturated fats are found in some meats, dairy products, chocolate, baked goods, and deep-fried and processed foods.
Tran’s fats are found in some fried and processed foods. Both types of fat raise your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol level.
High in the types of fat found in fish and olive oil.
These fats are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids lower the risk of heart attack, in part by helping prevent blood clots.
High in fiber.
Fiber is found in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
A fiber-rich diet not only helps lower your low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, but also provides nutrients that may help protect against Coronary Heart Disease.
Low in salt and sugar.
A low-salt diet can help you manage your blood pressure. A low-sugar diet can help you prevent weight gain and control diabetes.
Research suggests that drinking small to moderate amounts of alcohol regularly also can lower your risk of CHD.
One drink a day can lower your risk by raising your high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good," cholesterol level.
One drink is a glass of wine, beer, or a small amount of hard liquor.
