Unhealthy eating
Eating too many foods such as red meat, whole milk, fried foods or sweets can easily increase the amount of "bad" cholesterol in the blood. Conversely, if you do not supplement enough fiber and vitamins from green vegetables, whole grains or nuts, the body will also have difficulty controlling blood fat effectively.
Abusing packaged food
Fast food, processed or frozen foods are often rich in preservatives, salt and saturated fat. If you do not pay attention to reading nutrition labels, you may accidentally consume a large amount of substances that are not good for the heart.
Lack of movement
Lack of exercise causes excess fat to accumulate in the body and liver, increasing total cholesterol. On the contrary, regular exercise not only helps control weight but also promotes increased "good" cholesterol, which is beneficial for the heart.
Unhealthy lifestyle
Smoking, drinking alcohol and prolonged stress can disrupt hormones, increase blood pressure and blood lipids. When stressed, many people turn to snacks or cigarettes to relieve it, which can even affect their cardiovascular health.
