Breakfast reduces the risk of death after a heart attack
Scientists told how to reduce the risk of death after a heart attack five times
Lack of breakfast and dinner before bedtime are associated with an increased risk of death after a heart attack. This conclusion was made by scientists from Brazil.
As experts have found, combining these habits significantly exacerbates the effects of a heart attack, leads to angina pectoris, and can also cause a heart attack again.
Cardiologists conducted a study in which 113 patients with myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation took part. The average age of the volunteers was 60 years. Scientists recorded the diet of patients in the intensive care unit after a heart attack. About 58 percent of the participants skipped breakfast at least three times a week, 51 percent had dinner before bedtime. Both bad habits were observed in 41 percent of volunteers.
It turned out,that refusal of breakfast in combination with a late dinner four to five times increases the likelihood of death or another heart attack, as well as angina pectoris within 30 days after a heart attack.
According to the researchers, dietary adjustment is a "relatively inexpensive and easy way" to improve the performance of the cardiovascular system.
"Good breakfast includes:
Dairy products (skimmed or low-fat milk, yogurt and cheese)
Carbohydrates (whole grain bread Bagels Cereals) and whole fruits It should be between 15 and 35 percent of your daily calorie intake, "says Dr. Marcos Minikucci of São Paulo State University.
According to him, dinner is necessary at least 2 hours before bedtime.
