10 Worst Foods for Your Heart

Sugary Foods

According to a recently published study, eating a lot of sugar raises both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In addition, consuming sugary drinks daily raises your risk of heart disease by 8%. Increased sugar levels can result in calcium accumulation in cells by causing salt to accumulate there. Vasoconstriction [1] and hypotension [2] are the outcomes.

Blood lipid levels might also be impacted by excessive sugar consumption. Adults who consume more sugar are more likely to have lower levels of the beneficial HDL cholesterol. Additionally, your liver produces less HDL and more LDL, which decreases the quantity of HDL in your body. A diet high in sugar also results in higher triglycerides, a form of blood fat that affects your cholesterol levels.
