Among the biggest factors that threaten heart health are the foods we consume in our daily lives. Some foods that we consume without realizing that they are harmful can cause clogging of the heart vessels and increase the risk of heart attack. Cardiologist Abramson explained the eating styles you need to change.
FOODS TO STAY AWAY FOR HEART HEALTH
1- REPLACE RED MEAT WITH CHICKEN
In 2021, researchers at Oxford University’s Nuffield Department of Population Health found that overeating beef, lamb and unprocessed red meat increased the risk of coronary heart disease by 9 percent. Considering such findings, Dr. When you’re craving a red meat burger, Abramson suggested making your burger at home and replacing the beef with chicken.
The cardiologist said he fed his family chicken burgers or sometimes made meatballs from minced chicken to which he added beef.
2- BAKE THE CHICKEN IN THE OVEN INSTEAD OF FRYING
Research in 2021 linked the consumption of fried foods with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Instead, Dr. Abramson suggested baking the chicken instead of frying it. The cardiologist generally advised “Fry less, cook more”.
3- DO NOT FRY YOUR CHIPS, COOK
Dr. According to Abramson, it’s recommended that you bake your chips instead of getting them deep-fried. According to the cardiologist, you should try to cut down on snacks high in saturated fat. But that doesn’t mean you have to completely deprive yourself of snacks, she continued. Choose healthier ones like fresh fruits and vegetables and baked crackers.
4- REDUCE THE FAT OF YOUR TOASTER
Toast is arguably one of the most delicious breakfast foods. All you have to do is dip the bread in a mixture of eggs and skim milk instead of whole and bake it instead of frying it.
5- REPLACE YOUR ICE CREAM WITH FROZEN YOGURT
The idea of saying goodbye to ice cream forever may make many of us want to scream. But frozen yogurt for dessert will fill all those ice cream boxes, according to Abramson. It’s also low in fat, which means you’ll consume lower amounts of cholesterol.
