Cardiologist: for fear of high cholesterol, sugar consumption should be monitored more strictly, than by fat consumption.

Elevated cholesterol is one of the factors of vascular pathologies, heart and brain diseases. In the doctor's interview, there was a reminder that cholesterol content can be influenced by a person's eating habits.

The doctor noted: many people know how important it is to control the amount of fat and fried foods consumed in the diet. But people often underestimate the danger that a passion for sweets and foods rich in quickly digestible carbohydrates can pose for blood vessels.

“Many people exclude fatty, fried food from their diet. Instead, they calmly eat desserts afterwards. All the more so that fat should be afraid of sugar,” said the doctor.

The doctor summarized: in order to protect blood vessels from excess cholesterol, you must first of all limit the consumption of sweet and floury foods (from white flour), do not eat such products every day or several times a day The health of blood vessels is promoted, first of all, by foods rich in fiber.
