Scientists have named five drinks that can lead to a heart attack

0 < p>A heart attack is associated with a lack of blood supply to the heart muscle. The reason for this is, as a rule, atherosclerotic plaques in the artery that feeds the heart.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 5 heart attacks go unnoticed. However, this does not mean that there was no impact on the body. One of the ways to reduce the risk of heart disease is proper nutrition. Including, it is very important to monitor what drinks a person consumes during the day.

Sparkling water

The main danger of soda is excessive sugar content. “Studies have shown that sugary drinks can increase the risk of heart disease, which is the leading cause of heart attacks,” says Cedrina Calder, MD and a board-certified preventive medicine physician in Nashville, Tennessee. 

Coffee

A cup of bitter drink can help not only wake up in the morning, but also reduce the risk of heart failure. But drinking six or more mugs, on the contrary, increases the amount of fats in the blood and increases the risk of an attack. 

Energy

According to Calder, these drinks increase blood pressure and disturb the heart rhythm, which can lead to dangerous consequences. Unpleasant symptoms can appear “in people who either drink a large amount of energy drinks in a short period of time, or use them together with alcohol or other substances,” Calder adds.

Alcohol

Many people know about the harm of alcohol on the liver. But those who drink a lot of alcohol are more prone to diseases of the cardiovascular system. According to research by a group of scientists at Hopkins University, alcohol is much more dangerous for women than for men. According to scientists, they are exposed to a much higher risk of developing heart diseases.

Milk shakes

These drinks – desserts contain not only a lot of sugar, but also rich fats “Studies show that just one high-fat meal can cause heart disease in some people,” says Calder.
