Diet No. 10 – for diseases of the cardiovascular system

September 3, 2010

Doctors are confident that a special diet can improve blood circulation and cope with the first signs of heart disease.

The heart is the only muscle in the body that works continuously and pumps blood, which supplies nutrients and oxygen to the entire body. How effectively it will work also depends on what we eat. Doctors are confident that the nutritional system developed a long time ago called “diet No. 10” can improve blood circulation and cope with the first signs of heart disease.

Basic principles of nutrition for cardiovascular diseases:

1. Eliminate foods that excite the nervous system from your diet
.
Firstly, there is caffeine and caffeinated drinks: cocktails, energy drinks and even all kinds of colas. They increase the heart rate, further loading the heart muscle. Doctors include strong tea, rich broths and dishes containing large amounts of spices as stimulating foods. 2. Reduce your intake of animal fat
.
Fatty foods of animal origin - canned meat, pork, fatty poultry, all types of offal, sausages, smoked meats and lard - are rich in harmful cholesterol, which is deposited in blood vessels in the form of plaques. They can disrupt blood flow, including in the vessels that supply the heart itself. But there is still room on the menu for lean veal, rabbit, chicken and turkey. Boil, steam or bake - any cooking method that does not add additional fat will do. 3. Reduce the amount of salt in your diet
.
This will reduce the amount of fluid that is retained in the body and reduce the load on the heart, which is forced to pump an increased volume of blood. High blood pressure, in particular, develops due to fluid retention. Try to avoid pickles and marinades, and do not buy ready-made sauces, smoked meats and sausages. For the same reason, it is better to avoid fast food, snacks and processed foods, which often have a high salt content. 4. Add Omega-3 fatty acids to your diet
.
These beneficial substances help reduce cholesterol levels in the body, prevent the process of blood clots and lower blood pressure. Omega-3 is most abundant in vegetable oils and fish oil. Experts recommend choosing not too fatty fish and seafood. It is best to boil them, but you can also fry them without fat. But salted, smoked and canned fish are harmful to the heart due to excess salt content. 5. Eat small meals
. In heart disease, a full stomach and bloating lead to irritation of the autonomic nerves responsible for the functioning of the heart. And this, in turn, leads to interruptions in its work. Doctors believe that 4-5 small meals during the day will be easily digested and will not create additional stress on the nervous, and, therefore, cardiovascular system.

Who else needs to adhere to the “Table No. 10” regime?

A balanced diet should be maintained on an ongoing basis. Some categories of people especially need a therapeutic diet:

• Hypertensive patients
  . People suffering from high blood pressure are susceptible to vasoconstriction. A high cholesterol level can cause their obstruction, settling on the vascular walls in the form of plaques. This category of patients needs to carefully monitor their diet, avoiding prohibited foods.

• Diabetics
  . If the patient is at risk for diabetes, then his diet consists of constantly calculating the glycemic index of foods. Table No. 10 includes low GI ingredients.

The normal level of total cholesterol changes with age. If in children and young people it varies from 3.1 to 5 mmol/l, then in a person over 50 years old, 6 mmol/l is considered normal. Elderly people with borderline indicators should monitor their diet when switching to a therapeutic diet.

It is necessary to include seafood, fish and nuts in your diet (up to 30 g per day). The menu should change every week. You can add additional ingredients to dishes, make baked goods from oatmeal, coconut, or rice flour.

The last meal is taken no later than 2 hours before bedtime.

The effect of diet on the intestines

Proper nutrition helps maintain normal internal balance of the intestines. Diet number 3 for constipation is aimed at improving and stimulating the basic functions of the intestinal microflora, such as:

• synthesis of amino acids and vitamins K and C, as well as B vitamins;
• local immune defense of the body;
• enzymatic processing of dietary fiber;
• neutralization of toxins;
• maintaining the secretory activity of the gastrointestinal tract.

Diet number three restores the functional activity of the intestines, normalizes metabolic processes, improves motility and secretion of intestinal glands. The diet prevents fermentation and the formation of gases, promotes the elimination of toxic compounds, and also normalizes fluid exchange. The healing table ensures normal digestion and timely bowel movements.

Expert opinion

A lipid-lowering diet should be used as part of the treatment of certain diseases under the direct supervision of a physician. It plays a supporting role, but not a determining one. Without appropriate therapy, it is impossible to cure, for example, heart disease with diet alone. Such pathologies should be treated exclusively in a hospital setting under constant supervision. As for weight correction, you definitely shouldn’t expect great results from a lipid diet. It is generally impossible to maintain a low-calorie diet for a long time without medical indications. The best option for losing weight is proper nutrition, physical activity and the ability to control eating habits.

How to get out of a diet

If the lipid-lowering diet is a temporary phenomenon in your life, then you need to take care of its proper termination. A gentle, smooth exit from the diet is the basic rule for maintaining the achieved result. A competent exit means a gradual return to a normal diet. But in order to maintain the achieved weight, it is advisable to continue to adhere to the basic principles of the diet, for example, fractional meals. It is recommended to follow the “80 out of 100” rule. This means that 80% of the diet should coincide with the routine of the technique, and the remaining 20% ​​will be taken up by the usual lifestyle.

Recipes

A small selection of interesting recipes for a lipid diet:

• Carrot cheesecakes. The main ingredient is a package of low-fat cottage cheese. You will also need carrots, a couple of tablespoons of flour, semolina, 1 protein, 0.5 cups of low-fat milk, a little salt, olive oil. Carrots need to be grated on a fine grater.

Bake the formed cheesecakes in the oven.
