Blood vessels don’t hurt, feel heavy, or feel tense. They simply wear out silently. And then, suddenly, your blood pressure rises, your legs swell, your heart races. And you don’t understand: where is this coming from?
And the reason is often found in the food we eat. More precisely, in what we put on it every day.
Blood vessels don’t just age with age. They also age because of diet, which thickens the blood, inflames artery walls, and causes cholesterol to build up. And we often fuel this process without even realizing it.
Check yourself: Were any of the following foods on your table this morning?
1. Sausages and hot dogs
It’s convenient: you slice them and serve them. But in reality, they’re a mixture of salt, trans fats, and preservatives that tax the liver, increase “bad” cholesterol levels, 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: boiled chicken or turkey, baked fish.
