Healthy Diets
Know any heart healthy diets to lower blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure?
My dad needs to follow a diet that will be more heart healthy. He has very high blood pressure, high cholesterol(around 200), and high blood sugar and almost has diabetes. All of this is making it hard to know what he can eat. Anyone have any tips? Thanks!
a high fiber diet will lower both the total cholesterol and reduce serum insulin levels. he needs to eat things like whole oatmeal, lentils, barley, beans, etc..these types of foods are very high fiber and low calorie. 30 grams of fiber daily is recommended. it’s very hard to get so i would tell him to try to get as much from food and use fiber supplements for the rest.
to reduce the blood pressure reducing the salt intake will do this. cooking from scratch virtually eliminates salt from the diet, processed food items are loaded with it.
if he’s not big on cooking he’s going to have to learn. get him some basic cookbooks. there are a lot of high fiber soups that are very easy to make.
