In the structure of overall mortality, diseases of the cardiovascular system occupy a leading place. Therefore, it is important to carry out preventive measures and explain the need for the use of comprehensive treatment programs (diet therapy, drug treatment and dosed physical activity) among the population. The key to treating heart and blood vessel diseases is nutrition.
The diet, which is used to treat the cardiovascular system, was developed by Manuil Pevzner, a Soviet scientist, professor and nutritionist. Familiarity with the technique will allow you to minimize the risk of heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis, and more effectively undergo rehabilitation for existing diseases of the cardiovascular system.
General characteristics of dietary table No. 10
Diet No. 10 fully satisfies a person’s physiological needs for nutrients and energy while limiting the consumption of salt and liquids. The caloric content of the diet is normal, increased consumption of vitamins, minerals, and plant fiber is provided. The diet involves limiting and eliminating foods and dishes that have a stimulating or irritating effect on the nervous and cardiovascular systems, as well as on the kidneys (extractives, essential oils, spicy, salty, tonic, alcoholic drinks). Food is prepared steamed, boiled or baked without salt. Salt is given to the patient in the amount of 3–4 g. Diet No. 10 provides for fractional meals 4–6 times a day. The last meal is 2-3 hours before bedtime.
Proper nutrition for atherosclerosis
A completely insufficient measure is a balanced menu, with the inclusion of foods with a certain ratio of vital components - microelements, vitamins, carbohydrates and proteins. Of course, such a menu will bring positive results. But the main task for patients with atherosclerosis is to strictly calculate the calorie content of the daily diet and follow the calorie standards established for their group. Calorie content is determined based on the following parameters:
- patient weight;
- age;
- Lifestyle;
- professional activity taking into account physical activity (the nature of the work performed and its intensity).
Considering that atherosclerosis is one of the main causes of death in people all over the world, you should carefully follow the recommendations of your doctor and nutritionists.
Chemical composition and energy value of dietary table No. 10
Proteins: 85–90 g (including 45 g animal proteins). Fats: 70–80 g (including at least 30 g of vegetable fats). Carbohydrates: 300–350 g. Daily calorie content: 2,200–2,400 kcal. Free liquid: 1.5–2 l. Table salt: 6–8 g Vitamins: retinol (A) – 0.3 mg, riboflavin (B2) – 2.5 mg, thiamine (B1) – 1.7 mg, nicotinic acid (B3) – 22 mg, ascorbic acid acid (C) – 150 mg. Macroelements: sodium – 2.6 g, potassium – 4.2 g, calcium – 1 g, phosphorus – 1.8 g. Microelements: iron – 6 mg. Optimal food temperature: from 15 to 65 degrees Celsius.
Nutritionist's recommendations
- The main diet should consist of high-density lipoproteins with a sufficient amount of digestible vitamins.
- Food is cooked mainly by steaming without the use of fat. Vegetable oil is used for dressing salads and other dishes.
- When cooking broth from lean meat, the cooled fat is skimmed off the surface.
- Fried foods, as well as canned foods and pickles, including home-made and factory-made canned meat and fish, are completely excluded.
- Smoked products are prohibited.
- There is no need to add salt during the cooking process. Table salt is used in small quantities when serving the dish.
- For home baking, use chicken protein, not yolk.
- The daily diet is five meals a day. This technique allows you to avoid overeating and minimize the feeling of hunger between meals.

The daily menu of a patient with atherosclerosis consists mainly of protein foods:
- lean meat;
- low-fat cottage cheese;
- fish.
Important! The volume of each of the above products is about 150 grams (daily).
What do protein-rich foods do?
With their help, you can create a long-lasting feeling of fullness. The human body takes longer to process such products. Therefore, repeated meals after a short period of time are not required.
Plant sterols in the diet of patients with atherosclerosis
Sterols are components that are contained in:
- in natural vegetable oils;
- in nuts;
- in legumes;
- in cereals.
Thanks to sterols, excess cholesterol is not absorbed into the bloodstream. Thus, foods high in sterols become part of a comprehensive program for the management of patients with vascular atherosclerosis. The daily norm of sterols is about two grams.

Reviews and results
This therapeutic diet is balanced, which allows patients to constantly comply with it. In general, the food is well tolerated, but many note that at first it was quite difficult to get used to the reduced amount of salt and the absence of smoked meat products in the diet. Some restriction in simple carbohydrates and salt allows you to lose weight and get rid of excess fluid in the body. These treatment results are reported in reviews.
- “... I’m pleased with the results, since such a low-cholesterol diet helped normalize cholesterol, and sugar also became normal. They prescribed a diet in addition to the pills because my cholesterol was high. Nutritional therapy has helped me lose weight and improve my overall health. I continue to eat this way, but sometimes I break it a little”;
- “... A low-salt diet helps a lot. My result: shortness of breath disappeared, it became easy to move because the excess fluid was gone, and my blood pressure returned to normal. I must say that at first it was difficult to eat unsalted food, I really wanted sausages and ham, salted fish, but I endured everything. In addition, in 3 months I lost 5 kg, although I ate normally”;
- “... I have a heart defect, I am worried about shortness of breath, swelling and high blood pressure. This is my main diet for health reasons. It’s enough to eat salty food for 2 weeks and the swelling returns and it becomes difficult to breathe.”
