Dietitionist Lisa Young said there are a number of factors to be aware of when drinking alcohol. According to the expert, the work of the heart is primarily affected by the amount of sugar, saturated fats and the frequency of “sittings”.

Young emphasized that the most harmful alcoholic beverages are: rum and cola, “Piña Colada”, “Long Island” and “Frozen Daiquiri”. All of these shakes contain a huge amount of sugar.

The nutritionist reminded that consuming large amounts of added sugar can lead to chronic inflammation and high blood pressure. This can negatively affect the health of your heart, says an article published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

The doctor advises if you want to replace these drinks with lighter options with low sugar content.
