Congestive Heart Failure Food Tips

Milk, Dairy Products, Added Edible Fats, Nuts, and Seeds

You can choose low-fat dairy products and limit your intake of fatty dairy products. However, it should be borne in mind that milk is a source of complete animal proteins, calcium, and vitamin D, and therefore it and/or dairy products should be consumed without fail.

Saturated fatty acid intake should provide less than 10% of total energy. It is recommended to replace most of the saturated fatty acids with unsaturated fatty acids, which are abundant in fish, vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and avocados. There are few Trans fatty acids in nature (for example, in milk fat), but they can cause partial hydrogenation, that is, hardening, of vegetable oils. Trans-fatty acids should be consumed as little as possible.
