High-Carb Foods
People with congestive heart failure should cut down the consumption of carbohydrates in their diet. This is because these substances would encourage the body to produce more insulin, which is a major hormone for fat storage. When the level of this hormone is high, the body is unable to burn fat effectively. As a result, fat cells will build up on the walls of your arteries and increase blood pressure. The accumulate of fat can also affect your kidneys. Therefore, make sure to avoid any foods high in carbs, starch, and sugar. [15]
