The blood vessels don’t hurt, they don’t feel heavy, they don’t feel tense. They just wear out silently. And then – suddenly: your blood pressure jumps, your legs swell, your heart beats in panic. And you don’t understand – where does this come from?
And the reason is often on the plate. More precisely, in what we put on it every day.
Blood vessels don’t age just with age. They also age from food that thickens the blood, inflames the walls of the arteries, and provokes the accumulation of cholesterol. And we often fuel this process ourselves without even realizing it.
Check yourself – were any of the following foods on your table this morning?
1. Sausages and hot dogs
They’re convenient—you slice them and serve them. But in reality, they’re mixtures of salt, trans fats, and preservatives that put a strain on the liver, raise levels of “bad” cholesterol, and cause inflammation in the blood vessel walls.
Why are they harmful:
• Increase blood viscosity
• Increase LDL cholesterol
• Reduces the elasticity of blood vessels
Healthy alternative:Â Â boiled chicken or turkey, baked fish.
