Heart Attack food advice

[Mimi828]

hi, my husband had a heart attack three days ago and I’m struggling with giving him a heart healthy diet when it comes to snacks, something he was prone to doing prior. I’m pretty well set on the meal foods for him, it’s just snack time is a bit frustrating and confusing. Any advice would help. Thanks

check out the British Heart foundation website , plenty of nutrition advice. I’d your husband overweight? Is he active/mobile ? What’s his lifestyle like? There will be a lot to take in as it is so recent, your medical team should give you plenty of advice regarding lifestyle changes. What heart attack was he treated for? Nstemi , stemi , cardiac arrest ? What treatment , stents , medication only , bypass surgery . I’m sure you are both in a state of shock Mimi, I know I represent everyone on this forum in wishing you the best outcome and your husband a speedy, comfortable recovery. ❤️‍🩹 I had Nstemi heart attack and quadruple bypass July 2023, loving my rebirth and the job I have to do is keep my new pipes clear . I became food police post surgery and made a few tweaks to my nutrition. Making my own breads to cut out sugar and hugely reduce salt for example. Following a Mediterranean type diet too.
