Cardiologist suggests 5 foods to avoid to reduce heart disease risk

As heart disease issues see a rise globally, it is important to note how our diet affects heart health. A cardiologist says there is a critical link between diet and heart health, because our daily eating habits can unknowingly increase the risk of heart attacks.

Dr Krishna Kumar, Cardiologist at Vasavi Hospital, says many people focus more on how much they eat rather than what they eat. “We often choose convenience over nutrition. This emphasis on the amount of food can cloud our judgment about the quality of what we eat, leading us to make choices that may harm our heart health,” he tells Health Shots.

Let's look at some foods that Dr Kumar says could increase your risk of heart disease. Here are five types of food to be aware of:

Dr Kumar says eating too much red meat can increase the risk of heart disease, especially if people have irregular eating habits. While red meat can fit into a balanced diet if eaten in moderation, too much of it can raise cholesterol levels and lead to heart problems.

Poor food choices often come with other unhealthy habits. These include smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and not getting enough exercise. Together, these habits can significantly increase the risk of heart disease.
