Foods and Habits to Avoid for a Healthier Heart Over 40
Dr. Bhaskar Semitha, a cardiologist, advises against consuming certain frozen foods like fried chicken, pizzas, and pot pies due to their high content of trans fats, saturated fats, and sodium, which can lead to clogged arteries and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Instead, he recommends healthier alternatives such as grilled chicken, homemade pizzas with whole-grain crusts, and low-sodium chicken and vegetable stews to maintain heart health.
