Dr. Tian Hongbo
After coronary stent surgery for coronary heart disease, patients may consume tofu.
Tofu is rich in plant-based protein and contains various vitamins and trace elements, while being relatively low in fat. Regular consumption of tofu offers significant health benefits to patients. It is advisable to include foods high in dietary fiber and vitamins in the diet, ensuring meals are light and easily digestible. Additionally, patients should avoid excessive intake of foods high in saturated fatty acids, such as tuna and eel.
