Everyone wants to have a strong and a healthy heart, still, the lifestyle we have adopted can make this objective unattainable.
However, this doesn’t mean it’s impossible! All you need is be aware of the food you are allowing into your body, consume more of the healthy ones and avoid the harmful ones. Simple as bonjour!
#1 – Fast-Food
According to Dr. Regina, who is an associate professor rat cardiology at Hofstra University and also a chief of cardiology at ST.John Episcopal Hospital in New York City, researchers still couldn’t associate the relationship of heart diseases with saturated fats.
This means, there is no scientific proof that saturated fats lead to heart issues, for this reason, adds Regina that moderately consuming the good high-quality grass-fed beef may be beneficial to the heart.
However, when this fat is combined with carbohydrates found in fast food may lead to very serious health issues. Therefore insisted Regina that it is important to avoid fast food restaurants and you can instead prepare your burger or whatever at home with healthy cooking methods and with better and high-quality ingredients.
#2 – Processed And Cured, Meats
You might already know that this diet high in sodium may lead to health issues, such as high blood pressure. Processed and cured meat is, for example, one of these foods which are high in saturated fats and also high in salt.
According to the American Heart Association, only some slices of sausage or bacon can provide you with more than the sodium recommended amounts that your body is needing. It is definitely true that prevention is much better than cure.
Therefore, it is really not necessary to follow a medical treatment to control the sodium levels in your body and therefore regulate your blood pressure; rather it is more useful to follow a healthy diet and watch your sodium intakes to make significant improvement in your health state, said
Dr. Laxmi Mahta, who is a director of the Woman’s Cardiovascular Health Program at the Wexner Medical Center situated in Ohio State University.
