Atrial Fibrillation, Causes, Signs and Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention

Foods To Avoid

Fried foods

All the fried foods available in restaurants, such as fries and fried chicken, are exceedingly higher in trans fats and saturated fats, which increase the likelihood of getting heart diseases. The intake of fried foods increases cholesterol levels and might obstruct blood vessels by plaque formation.

Red meat 

Red meat, including lamb, pork and beef, is higher in cholesterol and saturated fats, which greatly increase the chances of heart diseases. Try to limit your consumption of meat to almost less than 6 ounces per day.

Baked goods

All the bakery items, including donuts, crackers, cookies and cakes, include a higher amount of sugar, which promotes obesity and fat accumulation in blood vessels, thus causing heart diseases. The intake of baked goods increases triglyceride levels, which ultimately leads to heart diseases. The flour used in baked goods, which is the main ingredient, spikes the blood sugar and has the least satiety value.

Non-dairy additives 

Non-dairy additives, commonly known as tea whitener or coffee whitener, are bad for human health and especially for heart health because these additives include a higher amount of trans fats, which promote fat gain and also increase the chances of heart diseases.
