When was the last time you had a “heart-to-heart” with YOUR cardiologist?
According to cardiologists, our diet plays a significant role in our heart health, depending on what foods we eat daily.
To have the best health possible, the American Heart Association recommends that we eat a healthy diet that includes vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, animal protein, and fish.
You might not have known this, but the foods we eat have a direct effect on our blood pressure.
And while high blood pressure, obesity, and high cholesterol are all risk factors for getting heart disease, cardiologists say that consuming a diet low in saturated fat and high in fiber can greatly lower your risk for heart disease.
That being said, are there things we should also attempt to AVOID consuming in excess to protect our cardiovascular health? Well, cardiologists seem to think so because they won’t touch the 9 following foods!

What about Fiber One bars? Are they ok to have when you are in the go?
Interestingly enough I agree with most of your list, however red meat and processed meats are not the bogeyman they are portrayed as, I am not an expert, but since February of this year I have lost 60 pounds eating red meat processed meats, mostly bacon, pork sausage, lunchmeat, and lots of butter and eggs. My blood pressure has returned to normal, I was prediabetic, I no longer am.
that sounds like a keto diet which can help you l ose weight however this diet will not sustain you in the long run. Read the literature and studies. Saturated fat from those food items is very harmful and has been strongly linked to cancer and cardio problems.

I would like to suggest a book you can get on Amazon called Ultra Processed People. It is somewhat technical but very informative. I had already cut out processed meats before I read this book, but there are so many other processed foods that are unhealthy. I’m a 67 year old woman who would like to live to see her great grandchildren. I do buy uncured meat occasionally but it’s not part of my normal diet.
