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.
2. Refined sunflower oil (especially for frying)
Its use is frequent, especially repeated. However, when heated, this oil forms compounds that damage the walls of blood vessels, thicken the blood and trigger inflammatory processes.
Why is it harmful:
• Excess omega-6 fatty acids lead to inflammation
• Toxic compounds are formed during frying
Healthy alternative : olive oil (use cold only), and for cooking — clarified butter (ghee) or coconut oil.
