Dear lybrate-user, diet chart is for patients, but your father is a normal healthy person. Please stop treating him as a patient and allow him to leave a normal healthy life. He can eat everything that we normally eat at home. Just you have to see that excessive oil is not used for cooking. Vegetables, saag are good. Ask him to avoid eggyolk, fried items, salty snacks. That should be good enough.

He should avoid bad fats and take only good fats in little amounts , he can have green seasonal vegetables and fruits as much as he wants , lemon and oranges and bananas are good sources of potassium , which is good for heart patients . eat little but more frequently . Bad fats are all tras fats present in biscuits , namkeens , cakes , street food etc. do not reheat the oil at home also , use any heart friendly oil and my personal choice is musturd oil for our style of cooking and soy oil for frying occassionally. Good fats are desi ghee and butter- 5 grams per day + a katori of dry fruits like soaked , peeled almonds , cashews , wallnuts- 5 to 6 pieces each and peanuts , one can make modifications depending on availability , otherwise peanuts are as good as others. fresh lemon juice taken with a spoon of honey with warm water taken on empty stomach in morning helps to purify blood.
