Semasa discaj, doktor2 tak bagitahu pun, pantang-larang makanan utk Aqeelah. Cuma doktor kata, elakkan junk food. Makanya, saya take for granted, tidak begitu beri perhatian, apa yg boleh dimakan & tak boleh dimakan oleh pesakit jantung seperti Aqeelah. Aqeelah amat suka minum ice blended mocha, cappucino, chocolate, makan lauk daging, udang, sotong, ayam goreng, potato chips, seperti mana kanak2 lain. So, bila dia mintak nak makan benda2 tu semua, saya layan kan aje la.. cuma lepas operation bulan Nov 2012, saya pantangkan dari makan makanan yg gatal, especially makanan laut. Sebabnya doktor pun kata, boleh makan apa saja... Selepas Aqeelah dimasukkan ke ICU, barulah saya luangkan masa, buat research serba-sedikit kat internet. Rupa-rupanya, banyak yg dia tak boleh makan, or kena kurangkan pengambilan makanan yg dia suka tu... menyesal saya sebab tak buat research ni terlebih dahulu, terlalu sibuk dengan hal2 lain, maka benda-benda yg penting ini saya terlepas pandang. Syukurlah Allah masih sayangkan saya, diberi peluang kedua untuk berubah menjadi ibu yg lebih baik dari sebelumnya...
Di sini saya ingin berkongsi fakta yg saya perolehi hasil dari "research" saya dari en gugle...
The cardiac diet restricts the intake of cholesterol, saturated fat and sodium. Some doctors also recommend that patients with cardiac disorders limit their intake of caffeine. Following these dietary restrictions reduces the risk of heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, coronary artery disease and other serious heart conditions. Discuss your diet with your doctor to determine the right combination of foods for your heart health.
CholesterolThe liver produces cholesterol to help the body make hormones and cell membranes. Cholesterol also comes from the foods we eat, making a low-cholesterol diet important for controlling total cholesterol levels. The cardiac diet restricts the intake of cholesterol by limiting the consumption of high-cholesterol foods. Foods to avoid include whole eggs, sweetbreads, fried foods, shellfish and foods high in saturated fats.
FatsFats also affect the amounts of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein ("bad" cholesterol) in the blood. Unsaturated fats, also known as good fats, actually improve the levels of cholesterol in the blood. They also promote normal heart rhythm and reduce inflammation, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. Good fats include monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. Canola oil, olive oil, avocados, peanut oil, almonds, pecans and pumpkin seeds contain high concentrations of monounsaturated fats. Polyunsaturated fats include omega-3 fats, which come from fish, flax seeds, canola oil and walnuts.
Bad fats, also known as saturated fats, increase cholesterol levels. Since the body produces all of the saturated fat it needs to function, humans do not need to eat saturated fats in their diets. The cardiac diet restricts the intake of saturated fats to reduce the risk of serious heart problems. Decatur Memorial Hospital recommends limiting your saturated fat intake to less than 7 percent of your daily calories. Avoid seafood, meat, whole-milk dairy items, coconut and poultry with the skin.
SodiumSodium makes the heart work harder by causing the body to retain water. The extra water in the blood vessels forces the heart to pump harder to get blood to all of the organs and tissues. This increases blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart attack and stroke if not treated. The cardiac diet limits the amount of sodium you consume each day. Your doctor will tell you how much sodium to include in your diet. Avoid high-sodium foods such as potato chips, pretzels, canned vegetables, canned soups, frozen meals, processed or cured meats, fast food and soft drinks.
CaffeineCaffeine increases heart rate, which poses serious risks for those who have had a heart attack. If your doctor recommends that you restrict caffeine intake, avoid regular coffee, caffeinated soft drinks, energy drinks and chocolates that contain high levels of caffeine. Replace these items with decaffeinated coffee, Sprite, Sierra Mist, root beer and orange soda.
TipsFollowing the cardiac diet does not mean you have to give up all of the foods you enjoy. Use healthy cooking techniques to avoid adding fat and cholesterol to your meals. Eat fresh fruit, unsalted popcorn, raw vegetables and low-fat yogurt instead of snacks that contain sodium and saturated fat. Replace whole eggs with egg whites or egg substitutes.
