Common heart diseases and the best healing foods

This occurs as a result of the heart inability to pump the necessary volume of blood. Some of the causes of these problems are related to diet. When there are excess fluids in the body basically ceased by excess sodium or salt consumption or poor kidney failure meaning greater blood volume, more effort is required by the heart to pump which lead to fatigue. Also lack of nutrients such as vitamin B1, calcium, magnesium and potassium can weaken the heart.
Recommended healing foods
A nourishing and invigorating diet to the heart is needed for the treatment of cardiac failure in addition to low intake of salt. In case of low urine volume, diuretic foods are recommended. There must be drastic reduction in sodium and alcoholic beverages including beer.
