Hi,

I'm 30 and diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease 6 months ago. Doctor gave me a general diet to follow and I've read about food and diets for cardiovascular conditions but I'm not certain about what to buy when at the supermarket.

Anyone has the same doubts? How do I know what packaged groceries are good for me?.
thanks!

eat veg, fruit and if not a vegetarian or vegan lean meat and fish. less processed, and white usually means processed. rice, pasta and noodles. keep good water hydration as well. and if you are able bodied, as much movement as possible. my mum has it, she a bad diabetic. a diabetic type diet is good as well.

For me, when is time to buy packaged foods I always try to read nutrition facts labels, however, they were not built for common people sad , so I focus in Low Fat food only.
Don't know what other things we can see in the food labels for my case

Hope this help.

I honestly have a hard time understanding what those facts really mean, particularly the sizes.
do you know any tool/app used for this purpose?

thank you

i learnt by doing a rehab program after surgery. a diabetes educator and or dietian is a good place for this. community health centres, etc.
