Monitoring your cholesterol levels is important at any age, but after 40 it is doubly important.
Moreover, there are products that are much more dangerous than fatty sausages and other similar products.
As endocrinologist Ekaterina Yang wrote in her Telegram channel, it is not sausages and other processed meat products that have the greatest impact on the human body.
In fact, we are talking about trans fats, which are added to various types of fast food in the form of hydrogenated vegetable oils.
This could be fried food or baked goods. Chips, cookies, cakes, pastries and other products pose a danger.
The specialist explained how they harm our body. Trans fats, when ingested with food, support the sluggish inflammatory processes that accompany atherosclerosis.
The specialist also explained that you can't give up eggs in favor of fried meat or bacon. The whole point is that the cholesterol contained in them is in the product in an unoxidized, that is, harmless form, which cannot be said about meat.
Therefore, the specialist advised eating more arugula and garlic, which help cleanse the blood and remove bad cholesterol from the body.
Earlier, Korean scientists discovered which spice acts as a “magic bullet” against cholesterol.
