I had an angioplasty what should i eat and what should i not eat?

Heart healthy: Angioplasty does not cure the cause of the blockage in your arteries. Your arteries may become narrow again. Eat a heart-healthy diet, exercise, stop smoking (if you smoke), and reduce stress to help lower your chances of having a blocked artery again. Your health care provider may give you medicine to help lower your cholesterol.

Cardiac health: A cardiac healthy diet nowadays is recommended to be low in saturated fats and concentrated sweets.Also reduce pasta, bread,rice and potatoes. Favor olive oil instead of butter; eat poultry,and fish,nuts,vegetables, and fruits instead of the usual desserts. Check out the Mediterranean diet for ideas.

Whole foods: Kathleen, An angioplasty indicates that you have significant coronary artery disease (CAD). The best diet to fight CAD is a plant diet based on eating whole foods. Avoid processed oils, sugars, and junk foods. If possible, avoid animal products. Eat vegetables, fruits, nuts, and legumes as they grow in nature, and avoid all else. Hope this helps!

Ask your DR!!!!: A high fiber diet, low calories, not much red meat or fried food. Mostly vegetables and salads. A chewable baby aspirin. 81mg. Not coated.

Angioplasty: Would discuss with your physician. That said, Mediterranean diet is generally safe for those with coronary disease and may even prolong survival. Also reduces BP, improves glucose control and may result in weight loss.
