After any major surgery involving cardiac problems, nutrition monitoring helps people shun fat-free foods and a tab is kept that the person has limited fat and cholesterol consumption. Recommendations are given not just to the patient but so also to the caregivers and family.

Cardiac rehab and health It is advised that the diet for cardiac rehab care patients should include a lot of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry and low-fat dairy products. Also include, legumes, nuts, fish and non-tropical vegetable oils. It is essential that the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, red meats and sweets is reduced very significantly, says Dr Janagama.

There are a lot of cardio protective benefits seen in plant-focused eating patterns. An ideal diet should involve vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre. This will help in enhanced recovery and will also ensure that the problems don t persist or recur.

However, evidence proves that healthy dietary changes, physical activity and abstinence from alcohol and tobacco can prevent 80% of these diseases. Therefore, let s take an informed step to a healthy living.
