The doctor named the main misconceptions that many people hold.

Trans fats, as well as salt and sugar, are not the only causes of cardiovascular disease.

This opinion was voiced by medical science candidate and cardiologist Anna Korenevich on her Zen channel.

According to her, it is wrong to assume that thrombosis, hypertension and other diseases have only appeared now and that people did not suffer from them before.

These diseases existed more than two centuries ago, but they simply could not be diagnosed and treated.

At the same time, many people now have a bouquet of chronic diseases that they simply did not live to see before.

The expert named stress as one of the main reasons for the development of cardiovascular diseases. And if previously it was caused by a food shortage, then in the conditions of modern accessibility of any products it is important not to overeat.

When a person is not stressed, he eats normally. Otherwise, two extremes can develop: from a complete refusal to eat to eating high-calorie foods to cope with stress.
