Reducing sodium helps prevent fluid retention, which is crucial for heart health.

In some cases, additional fluid restrictions may be necessary to manage symptoms effectively.

Meal Frequency

Patients experiencing abdominal or chest pain may benefit from small, frequent meals instead of larger ones for better tolerance.

Constipation Management

Diuretic use and reduced physical activity in heart failure patients can lead to constipation.
Adequate fiber intake is essential to alleviate constipation issues.

Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol can negatively impact blood pressure and heart function.
Most heart failure patients should limit or avoid alcoholic beverages to protect cardiovascular health.
