What Precaution Should I Take As Suffering From Coronary Artery Disease?
I am a 65 year old man receintly widowed. I have no knowledge about heatlhfull nutrition or amounts because my wife always took care of those specifics. I also cornory artery disease and since my wife died I've just ate what I wanted, as much as I wanted when I wanted but I afraid I've deteriated with this habit. I need some guideline regarding food and nutrition. BTW I'm a little over weight but not significantly. My Doctor rarely indicates I need to loose weight.

It is difficult to provide a detailed diet plan in this space. However stick to the basics. With your risk factors i would advise the following.
1) a low salt diet containing less than 2500mg of sodium per day.
2) Include lots of fruits and green vegetables in your food.
3) Oil used for cooking to be kept to a minimum.
4) eliminate foods with a high saturated fat intake e.g cakes,biscuits,pastries.
5) avoid red meat( mutton, beef) . Stick to fish or chicken once or twice a week.
6) try to get atleast 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 5 times a week.
