It is recommended that patients consume more protein-rich foods such as fish, lean meat, and eggs to help wound healing. At the same time, fat intake should be controlled and high-fat foods avoided to prevent re-narrowing of blood vessels. Increase intake of foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin E, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts, as these nutrients help protect the cardiovascular system and promote blood circulation. Drink plenty of water to maintain adequate hydration, which helps thin the blood and reduce the risk of blood clots. Additionally, avoid alcohol consumption and smoking, as these unhealthy habits increase the burden on the heart and may negatively affect surgical outcomes.
