Dr. Zhang Jianbin
For elderly patients with coronary heart disease, it is best not to consume goat milk powder. Milk powder is a high-calorie, high-fat food that can easily lead to obesity, which is a major contributing factor in the development of coronary heart disease. Proper dietary habits are essential. Patients should maintain a low-fat, low-salt, low-cholesterol diet, control body weight, eat more vegetables, exercise regularly, and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
