A balanced diet is a key component of cardiovascular prevention and supports the treatment of high blood pressure, elevated blood lipids, diabetes and other risk factors.

​

Individual consultation

Since each patient has different risk factors, we recommend individual nutritional counseling as part of cardiological care.

​

Mediterranean diet as a basis

A Mediterranean diet is considered particularly heart-protective. It is based on plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes, whole grain products, nuts, and high-quality vegetable oils such as olive oil.

​

Choose fats consciously

Saturated fats (e.g., in fatty meats, sausages, and highly processed foods) should be reduced. Unsaturated fatty acids from fish, nuts, and vegetable oils are preferable.

​

Reduce salt and sugar

High salt and sugar consumption can contribute to high blood pressure and metabolic disorders. Fresh, unprocessed foods help control intake.

​

Sufficient fiber

A diet rich in fiber supports cholesterol metabolism and digestion. This includes whole grain products, vegetables, legumes, and fruit.

​

Fish instead of meat

Regular consumption of seafood provides valuable omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory effects and can protect the heart.

​

Liquid and alcohol

Drinking enough water or unsweetened tea is important. Alcohol should only be consumed in very moderate amounts or avoided as much as possible.

​

Weight and movement

A heart-healthy diet works best in combination with regular exercise and a stable body weight.
