How should the elderly maintain their hearts in daily life?

Healthy diet and proper exercise. Choosing a diet and exercise that suits you may seem to have nothing to do with nourishing the heart, but Mr. Zhang believes that this embodies Zhuangzi's principle of nourishing the heart. Mr. Wang loves delicious food, and he has a special preference for dishes from his hometown. He highly praises the inscriptions of a Sichuan restaurant in Chengdu: "Food is the people's heaven, and food is judged by the people. It is praised by the people for its high quality and low price" and "White meat mixed with mashed garlic, fried kidney and pork liver, you can eat it as soon as you sit down, it is refreshing and fresh. The diced chicken is Kung Pao, the tofu is Huainan, the rice crust stewed with pork slices, the fried sound fills the room with joy..." When friends came from afar, such as the Taiwanese poet Yu Guangzhong, they would entertain them with sesame seed cakes, steamed beef, and husband and wife lung slices, and both the host and the guests would have a great time.

An empty room gives birth to whiteness. Mr. Zhang believes that reducing mental burden is the true meaning of nourishing the mind. He often reminds himself: Don't compare, don't be competitive, and don't be greedy. If a person's heart is filled with all kinds of demands, desires, wishes, hatreds, and disputes, his heart will become dark. Therefore, everyone should not only regularly clear out the "clutter" in their hearts, but also bravely say "no" to external temptations. Therefore, Mr. Sun's "Retirement Fu" says: "Feeling the brevity of life, everything is gone like smoke. Knowing the vastness of the universe, forget about one's own gains and losses."

Dietary requirements for heart disease

Eat less. Eating less means limiting the amount and type of food you eat. Most heart patients are overweight, so they should consciously control their daily calorie intake to lose weight and thus alleviate heart disease. It is recommended to eat half or 70% full each time to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and triggering a heart attack. In addition, you should eat less spicy and irritating foods and foods that are too cold or too hot to reduce gastrointestinal irritation.

Less fat. Try to eat less high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, such as oils, fatty meats, animal offal, etc. The cholesterol content directly affects human health. Too high a cholesterol content may cause coronary heart disease, fatty liver, hyperlipidemia and other diseases, so it should be properly controlled. In terms of diet, you should avoid animal foods, eat less fat, cream, butter and other fatty foods, eat less animal liver, brain, fish roe, cuttlefish and other foods high in cholesterol; you should choose to eat more bean products, because soybeans contain lecithin and inorganic salts, which are very beneficial for the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.
