Head of the Department of Dietetics at ROSBIOTEKH University and Doctor of Medical Sciences Alexey Bereznikov reported that some food products are deadly dangerous for the heart.
According to the expert, the said human organ directly extracts energy from the process of breaking down fats.
Accordingly, this or that food can have a certain effect on the human heart, as RIA Novosti reports.
Bereznikov added: “In the eighties, Kremlin doctors recommended eating a piece of lard every morning.”
According to the doctor, this diet helped prevent the development of atherosclerosis.
The other side of the issue
At the same time, according to the expert, food containing an abundance of salt causes significant harm to the cardiovascular system.
The fact is that salt retains water, thereby increasing the volume of blood.
This mechanism, in turn, puts pressure and excess stress on the heart muscle.
In addition, alcohol, including weak alcohol, and drinks with a high sugar content pose a serious danger to the heart.
