Many people know that patients with heart disease should eat more "three reds" and do less "three things". As for "three reds" and "three things", there is a saying that eating more three reds means "tomatoes, cherries and carrots" and doing less three things means "less sadness, less smoking and less drinking".

There is some truth in this statement, because tomatoes, cherries and carrots are all very good foods for heart patients.

Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, which has antioxidant effect and protects blood vessels. There is a substance in the yellow jelly-like juice around tomato seeds that has the effect of anti-platelet aggregation and can prevent the occurrence of cerebral thrombosis. Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease and stroke should eat tomatoes or squeeze them into juice every day, which is beneficial to protect blood vessels.

In the mouth of foreign nutritionists, cherries are even called "aspirin" for the heart. Chinese medicine believes that cherries can not only nourish the heart, but also nourish the heart and enrich the blood, which can make the blood smooth and warm the heart.

Carrots contain potassium succinate, which helps to prevent arteriosclerosis, lower cholesterol and lower blood pressure. It is a good diet for patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease, and it is also an effective heart protection food.

Doing three things less is also advice for heart patients.

As we all know, heart patients should not be too emotional, and mixed feelings are not conducive to the physical and mental health of heart patients. Not to mention smoking and drinking, smoking can induce coronary artery spasm, arrhythmia and even sudden cardiac death. Nicotine in cigarettes can increase blood pressure, heart rate and myocardial oxygen consumption.

Therefore, for heart patients and people with bad hearts, avoiding these bad hobbies is the greatest care for the heart.
