In the structure of overall mortality, diseases of the cardiovascular system occupy a leading place. Therefore, it is important to carry out preventive measures and explain the need for the use of comprehensive treatment programs (diet therapy, drug treatment and dosed physical activity) among the population. The key to treating heart and blood vessel diseases is nutrition.
The diet, which is used to treat the cardiovascular system, was developed by Manuil Pevzner, a Soviet scientist, professor and nutritionist. Familiarity with the technique will allow you to minimize the risk of heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis, and more effectively undergo rehabilitation for existing diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Key principles of dietary nutrition
The goal of diet table No. 10 according to Pevzner is to restore the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system. To do this, it is necessary to reduce the concentration of cholesterol in the blood, restore metabolic processes in the cells of the body, remove excessive stress on the blood vessels and urinary organs, and lose weight. The following nutritional principles will help you achieve positive results:
- Limiting salt intake. The maximum dosage of sodium chloride is 7 grams per day.
- Reducing the amount of liquid you drink. 1.1 liters per day is enough.
- Avoiding foods high in cholesterol.
- Reducing the consumption of carbohydrates that are easily absorbed by the body.
- Introduction to the menu of dishes containing increased dosages of magnesium, potassium and calcium.
- Refusal of extractives - non-protein compounds obtained from animal muscle tissue by digestion.
According to Pevzner’s method, a person should consume 2000 kcal per day. You will have to exclude foods containing coarse fiber from your diet. They create an increased load on the digestive system, which negatively affects the health of a person suffering from heart problems.
When creating a menu, it is important to monitor the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Ideally, it should be maintained at 80/70/350 grams.
Diet No. 10b
Table No. 10 is often prescribed to patients after a myocardial infarction, as well as in the presence of rheumatic heart disease without circulatory failure. Compared to other diet options, diet No. 10 is broader and the drinking regime is not as strict. It is important for the patient to increase foods high in potassium and magnesium in their diet: nuts, cereals, milk. The menu must include protein foods, with a predominance of animal protein.
After a heart attack, the diet is prescribed in several stages. The diet consists of three phases, which are prescribed alternately:
- First phase. Lasts during the first week after myocardial infarction. The energy value is reduced to 1200 kcal; the patient is required to eat approximately 1.5 kg of food and 0.8 liters of liquid per day. Dishes are prepared in pureed, crushed form, and the food is taken warm. Salt is not used at all, you can periodically eat crackers from rye bread, fresh vegetables are prohibited.
- Second phase. It lasts for 2-3 weeks and is called the subacute period. Daily calorie content increases to 1800 kcal, liquids can be consumed in a volume of 1 liter. Up to 3 g of sodium chloride is allowed. You can introduce fresh vegetables, increase the amount of protein foods and healthy polyunsaturated fats.
- The third phase begins in the fourth week after the heart attack, during which scarring occurs. The menu at this stage will be complete, the amount of food should increase to 2.2 kg, and water - 1.1 liters. The permissible salt intake is 6 g per day. The list of products is typical for table number 10.
During the rehabilitation period after myocardial infarction, it is important to eat food low in salt; the main amount of sodium chloride will contain bread. It is important to adhere to this rule, because salt tends to retain fluid in the body and lead to edema, thereby further impairing the functioning of the damaged heart muscle. Meat and fish must be boiled before other types of cooking. It is allowed to fry foods in a small amount of vegetable oil. Porridges should be boiled and pureed. Vegetables can be eaten cooked or raw.
After the fourth week from the onset of the disease, the volume of fluid increases to 1.5 liters; all drinks and first courses must be taken into account. The daily calorie intake should be 2500 kcal; if your lifestyle is sedentary, this figure should drop to 2200 kcal.
During treatment, the patient should be periodically observed by the attending physician to adjust the menu.

Types of diet
Depending on the characteristics of a particular disease, several types of diet are distinguished:
- Table No. 10A. It is suitable for patients suffering from heart failure. The main emphasis in this case is on reducing the calorie content of dishes and reducing the volume of liquid drunk.
- Table No. 10B. Prescribed for rheumatism. This means excluding foods that cause flatulence from the menu. An increase in the proportion of animal protein to 60 grams per day is also shown.
- Table No. 10C. Prescribed for atherosclerosis, ischemia and hypertension. A feature of the diet is increasing portions of vegetable fats and fiber.
- Table No. 10G. This type of diet is prescribed to patients diagnosed with essential arterial hypertension. More foods rich in vitamin P, ascorbic acid and thiamine are introduced into the menu.
- Table No. 10R. It is followed by people who struggle with rheumatoid arthritis. A special feature of the diet is maintaining a ratio of animal and vegetable fats of 1 to 2. It is also necessary to reduce the consumption of carbohydrates, which are quickly absorbed by the body.
- Table No. 10I. Used for patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction. All meals should be low in calories to reduce stress on the heart. Liquid consumption is minimized.
All diets are designed to fully satisfy the body's needs. A minimal load is created on the digestive system, heart and blood vessels.
Application and purpose of the diet
The cycle of diet therapy programs for various diseases of the heart and blood vessels is called “table No. 10”. This diet is also applicable in the nutrition of patients with degrees I and IIa of circulatory failure. The use of table No. 10, together with drug therapy, in such patients can improve the course of the underlying disease and reduce the risk of complications. However, this diet is only suitable for compensated or subcompensated disease and should be used only when prescribed by a doctor.
The diet is aimed at restoring normal heart function and normalizing blood circulation. Also, diet No. 10 improves liver and kidney function, helps reduce swelling and shortness of breath, and helps reduce body weight if the patient has concomitant excess weight or obesity. Such results are achieved by following all the nutritional requirements of table No. 10, which are primarily aimed at facilitating the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system.
Additional recommendations
Patients following diet No. 10 must follow several additional recommendations:
- Bread must be dried in the oven before use.
- Vegetables are allowed to be eaten only in chopped form. It is best to pass them through a meat grinder or grate them.
- Fruits bring great benefits after heat treatment. They are used to make jelly and compotes.
- It is prohibited to drink industrially produced juices. They contain too much sugar. Table No. 10 involves drinking only freshly squeezed natural juices.
- Cinnamon and bay leaves will help improve the taste of dishes.
To avoid painful feelings of hunger, you need to eat small portions six times a day. The final meal is organized three hours before bedtime.
Meat or fish: what to limit?
Diet number 10 for hypertension says that it is better to reduce the amount of animal saturated fats or not consume them at all (pork, lard, fatty fish, cream, sour cream, fatty cheese). Also exclude sausages, smoked products, canned fish and meat. Leave lean beef, chicken, turkey, rabbit, and vegetable fats. Choose low-fat varieties of fish (cod, pike perch, grass carp, hake). Among vegetable oils, they prefer olive, sesame, sea buckthorn, and wheat germ oil. Vegetable fats are also found in nuts and avocados.
Diet 10 for stage 2 hypertension and hypercholesterolemia completely eliminates the use of salt; it is better to eat meat products stewed in water or boiled. In case of stage 3 hypertension, the consumption of meat products is reduced to a minimum. Blood cholesterol control and blood pressure control are very important!

Reviews from nutritionists
The main reasons for prescribing diet No. 10 are cardiovascular diseases, patient complaints of shortness of breath with edema, high fatigue and low performance, abnormal heart rhythm, etc. The treatment table helps strengthen the heart muscle and increase diuresis, reducing the load on the heart. Of course, the menu and recommendations are subject to individual adjustment according to health status. For example, if there is no edema, then increasing the amount of liquid and salt is acceptable.
What is the main thing in diet number 10? First of all, give up salt. If that doesn’t work, at least reduce its amount to 2-4 g/day. If swelling is present, then salt must be completely excluded. It is also important to adhere to the diet/scheme - that is, 5-6 times a day with the last meal 2-3 hours before bedtime. The most useful products will be those that get rid of excess fluid - potatoes and milk, blackcurrants with cabbage, dogwood and dried apricots, rose hips, dates with prunes. The total amount of liquid per day is no more than 1-1.2 liters.
In diet No. 10, much depends on the patient’s body weight. For maximum efficiency, reduce the calorie content of meals in order to slowly but effectively lose excess weight. In most cases, getting rid of extra pounds can soften and even eliminate the symptoms of the disease. The average daily amount of calories is no more than 1700 kcal. If you don’t have problems with excess weight, you don’t have to reduce calories. It is recommended to postpone all sweets until better times; the preferred meat is beef and chicken. Strictly limit fats. To avoid overloading your heart with cholesterol, steam, bake and boil dishes. Instead of butter, you can put a spoonful of jam in the porridge.
