Food for Heart Patient

Asked for Male, 58 years

My question is about a patient who has gone through a severe heart attack a couple of days back and he is waiting for the operation now. What kind of food is allowed for him out of these followings: 1. Milk & Yogurt 2. Bread & Jam 3. Fish & chicken 4. Fruits (which ones) 5. Rice or Breads. It would be a great help for him to know the right one. He is literally in life and death condition

I'm attaching a comprehensive weblink of a well-established hospital in the USA so that you may know exactly what foods to give and in what quantities. Hope this helps.

Dear Patient,

Thank you for reaching out to us.It must be a tough situation to see. In heart ailments the food groups one needs to avoid are fats, oily stuff. and red meat. Rest all foods can be taken. the foods you mentioned are all allowed but not more than 2-3 teaspoons of oil a day.
