The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population published a set of different guidelines, through its official account on the “Twitter” website, for healthy nutrition for heart patients.
The Egyptian Ministry of Health stated that ghee, cream and butter are natural and healthy fats. But excessive intake causes high blood fats and atherosclerosis.
Fish in general and fatty fish, such as mackerel, sardines and salmon, are rich in omega-3 fatty acid, which maintains a healthy heart.
