Studies show that certain foods and meals can lead to clogging of blood vessels if consumed regularly.

Chronic clogging of blood vessels causes such conditions as myocardial infarction and ischemic heart disease, heart failure, heart rhythm disturbances.

Atherosclerotic plaques, breaking away from the walls of blood vessels, can wander with bleeding and clog vessels and arteries, thereby leading to a sudden full.

The disease is called atherosclerosis, and it can affect almost every part of the body, including arteries in the heart, brain, arms, legs, pelvis and kidneys.

It has different names depending on which arteries are affected.

Atherosclerosis is dangerous, but the disease can be prevented.

A healthy diet is a key factor in the case of atherosclerosis.

And it is not only about maintaining a normal weight. 

"Clogged" vessels are a silent killer, and they usually do not show signs until serious health problems such as coronary heart disease, heart failure, or stroke develop.

Physical activity, a healthy diet, and lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk of blocked arteries.

Limiting or avoiding certain foods and maintaining normal cholesterol levels will also reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.

Lard, bacon

Bacon and lard have such a high fat content that, in the case of constant consumption, it can lead to blockage of blood vessels.

High levels of saturated fat promote inflammation, which can cause dehydration of skin cells and contribute to atherosclerosis. 

Another big danger of these products for health is that during their consumption, you also consume a lot of salt.

This can lead to a number of problems, such as water retention in the body and increased blood pressure.

Butter

Butter is a wonderful product.

However, there is a downside — a high level of saturated fat, which can lead to clogged arteries and high cholesterol.

So moderation is key when it comes to butter consumption. 

If you want to reduce the amount of oil you consume or find healthier substitutes, you have several options.

One option is to switch to low-fat varieties with a lower percentage of fat.

There are also vegan spreads that are specifically designed to be substituted in recipes.

Some cooks substitute banana puree for melted butter in a recipe, or olive oil for half the amount of butter in a recipe.

This is another way to reduce your saturated fat intake.

Shop cookies

Unfortunately, ingredients like butter, cream, salt, and sugar make cookies a junk food, high in saturated fat and sodium, two things that can increase your risk of heart disease if eaten in excess.

If you're eating cookies every day, that also means you're likely consuming a lot of trans fats.

In general, it is important to remember that cookies are not inherently harmful - like any other product, they should be consumed in moderation.

Choose whole grain types of cookies and eat them with fresh fruit and low-fat yogurt.

Whole milk and cheese

Excessive consumption of these products can lead to blockage of blood vessels.

That's why it's important to understand exactly how much milk and cheese you should be consuming each day before returning to your regular diet.

Health experts suggest reducing the consumption of dairy products to two servings per day. 

Reducing the amount of fatty milk and dairy products in the diet will improve overall health.

One effective strategy is to reduce portion sizes.

Choose low-fat versions of popular dairy products, such as skim milk or high-protein Greek yogurt and goat cheese made from reduced-fat milk.

Fried dishes

The amount of cholesterol in fried foods increases dramatically, which can lead to high blood pressure, an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

In addition, frying food usually requires twice or even three times more oil than other cooking methods.

Sautéing is a healthy alternative to frying.

And adding spices and herbs is a surefire way to always have delicious meals regardless of the cooking method.
