What type of food helps seniors with heart problems?
Well, healthy foods! In most cases, seniors with heart problems usually have other health problems, such as diabetes. If that’s your case, make sure to talk to your doctor or nutritionist about food choices. If not, eating healthy is enough for people with heart problems.
Try including more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Limit your intake of fats, except for fatty fish, avocados, and olive oil. Nuts and seeds are also great options.
One more thing about fats: Always opt for low-fat dairy.
Do not forget to eat HEALTHY protein, which means no processed meat. Poultry and fish are the best options. Keep the sugar away; this might be challenging if you are an ice cream lover (like myself), but try your best. Dark chocolate can help reduce sugar cravings.
