What type of diet should to eat for person whose CABG is performed? Any adverse effect of healing of wound?

The following is the suggested diet for persons suffering from hypertension or some disorder of the heart:

On rising: Warm water with lemon juice and honey or fresh fruit juice of apple, grapes, orange, or pineapple.

Breakfast: Fresh fruit such as apples, grapes, pears, peaches, pineapple, orange, melons, one or two slices whole meal toast, yogurt, skimmed milk, or soya milk.

Mid-morning: Fresh fruit juice or coconut water.

Lunch: Combination salad of vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, endive, carrots, cucumber, beetroot, tomato, onion, and garlic. One or two slices of whole meal bread or chappatis, curd, fresh grapes, and other fruits in season.

Mid-afternoon: One or two whole meal biscuits and fruit juice.

Dinner: Fresh fruit or vegetable juice or soup, two lightly cooked vegetables, one or two whole-wheat tappets.

The patient should also pay attention to other laws of nature for health building such as taking moderate exercise, getting proper rest, and sleep, adopting the right mental attitude and getting fresh air and drinking pure water.

Water Treatment: The use of an ice bag on the spinal area between the second and tenth thoracic vertebrae for 30 minutes three times a week, a hot compress applied to the left side of the neck for 30 minutes every alternate day and massage of the abdomen and upper back muscles are water treatments which are beneficial in cases of heart disease.

Hot foot and hand baths are excellent for relieving the pain of angina pectoris. To this may be added hot packs on the chest over the heart for 1 minute and a cold pack applied alternately for 5 minutes.

Asanas such as shavasana, vajrasana, and gomukhasna, yogic kriyas like jalneti and pranayamas such as shitali, sitkari and bhramari are also helpful in providing relief to heart patients.

Hope this helps, Good Luck.

I don't know if there is any special diet required.

Obviously avoid saturated fat and high cholesterol food since that is what made you need the coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure.

You might want to avoid salt since salt can affect blood volume, which can affect blood pressure. It's best to stay on a low salt diet, especially when you have heart problems

A special diet is not needed. Just eat a healthy well-rounded diet. Include fruits and vegetables. Avoid too much salt and saturated fat.

From my personal experience, been there and done that, did not have CABG but did have open heart surgery to have my mitral valve replaced, but I cannot say how they treated the incision of the leg where they take out the graft because I did not have that part done, but I can definitely attest to the chest incision. See below.

Hi, no special diet will cause the wound to heal faster or not heal properly. Just make sure you keep your wound clean and dry. Your doctor will tell you when you can start taking showers, etc. In the meantime, they will tell you to do a gentle damp cloth over your wound site. No harsh rubbing, mainly just patting, then take a clean towel and pat dry the wound. Then Neosporin was gently placed all the way down your chest over the incision site. But they will definitely ask that you do a heart healthy diet after your surgery (I was unable to tell by your question if you have already had the surgery or about to have the surgery) which is basically, no high saturated fats or cholesterol, basically foods that are good for you such as fruits and vegetables, fish, very low salt intake, learn to bake your meat such as chicken with no skin or fish or bbq it instead of frying in grease, etc. Usually a dietician will come and talk with you about this after your surgery.

Hope this helps and best of luck to you.
