Aortic Dissection diet. Is there a diet which improves the quality of life of people with Aortic Dissection?

This is very much related to the medications patients have to eat to keep their bloodpressure and blood vessels as good as possible. Diet have to be decided together with medical docotrs who prescribe medications to the patient. No general advice can be given - more than to avoid to much salt and alcohol. No smoking. Many patients have life long medications with 8-10 daily medicines.

A diet extremely low in sodium and fats goes a long way toward reducing blood pressure, thus lessening the chance of further dissection.

You should always consult your doctor for best advice on keeping your blood pressure to good level, he or she will give you great advice and possibly pass you on to a dietician,
Sensible eating with low fats and salts is considered to be a good start, always get good advice from your GP

I am sold on the Mediterranean diet. I work very hard at not going over 1500 mg of salt a day. I have cut processed food out of my diet. Take a look at any processed food. The salt content is usually very high.

I eat lots of salmon and other fish--mostly salmon because I live i the Northwest and always have it available. Lots of vegetables and fruits and nuts.

Cut out ALL saturated fats. Moderation. You need to be able to have a diet which you can live with.

The DASH or Mediterranean Diet is the healthiest option out there for us all one can find guidance Through several medical sites on line including the American Heart Association, Web MD etc.. LOW Sodium diet, Lower LDL cholesterol Improved HDL cholesterol and Reduced Triglycerides, Increased Water intake and reduce Sugary drinks, alcohol, Caffeine, etc

Decrease bleached grains for Natural ... Oatmeal daily cleanses the cholesterol..the list goes on ... The idea is to Eat as if YOU want to continue to Live, As someone who woke up after surgery knowing nothing of what happened or where I even was, i saw this as a second chance to live... strive to do what you can do However you can do it to Improve your life... DO you Have to eat certain things ? do you want to LIVE another Year or Maybe another 25 or 30? its really up to you in many cases . Target reducing your Salt Intake to 1200 mg a day IT will seem daunting at first Seeking Low sodium foods and reading salt levels in your day to day food is great , it wont happen over night but drop 3500mg to 2200 mg to 1900 mg to 1500 (Which is the suggested "normal person level" eventually you will be able to see 1200mg Each time the doctor does Blood work Check your sodium levels on the test results same with HDK ANd LDL LEARN TO TAKE CARE FOR YOURSELF Watch the carbs watch the nasty protiens Salmon and Omega fish Chicken Lean beef occasionally Or Lean Pork "occasionally' Once every couple weeks .... watch the canned soups the low sodium versions are pretty high Use Herbs and spices MRS DASH cayenne is good for you Lemon is great as is apple cidar Vinegar

Green veges and small potions of whole foods work for me

There is no special dietary requirements but a healthy lifestyle is of benefit

Any diet that will lower the bloodpreassure.

Heart healthy diet. It wouldn’t hurt to have a healthy diet

Not in particular as I was told on a number of occasions that the aortic dissection was not lifestyle related.
However, I would recommend a well-balanced heart healthy diet to give yourself the best chance to cope with any further complications that may occur down the line.

I think a healthy diet improves the quality of life for everyone, not just those with AD. I doubt that a healthy diet actually “improves” AD, but a bad diet can make things worse. I think diets that are low in salts, red meats, and sugar, and alternately those high in veggies, fruits and proteins, like fish and beans, are best.

I find that cutting out salt and sugar as well as gluten and dairy have improved my health since my AD. Eating a lot of greens and protein and fibre has helped me to lose 40 pounds over the past year.
