Myocardial Infarction
Patients with myocardial infarction experience severe chest pain that occurs suddenly and continues despite rest and medication. Other symptoms include fatigue, palpitation, shortness of breath, anxiety, malaise, nausea and vomiting. Risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, smoking, alcoholism, obesity, and lack of exercise
Like
all medical conditions, diet plays an important role in either preventing or encouraging
it. Foods such as meat, saturated fat, sausages, ham, margarine, butter, fried foods, milk, alcoholic beverages, white sugar and salt when eaten in large
quantities puts a person at risk of myocardial infarction. It is therefore
important to reduce or eliminate these foods from our diets but increase intake of
Fruits, Legumes, Vegetables, Grapes, Mango, Peach, Potatoes, Onion, Strawberry,
Cashew, Garden Eggs, Squash, Soy, and olive oil helps to prevent the disease.
