It\u2019s also the leading cause of heart attacks \u2013 when part of the heart suddenly loses its blood supply.<\/p>\n<p>A healthy diet is one of the key ways to reduce your risk. But, even if your diet is far from perfect, it\u2019s worth knowing which foods you should be trying to cut back on to keep your heart pumping at full strength.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"u-heading-size-medium u-heading-style-normal\">1. Bacon sandwiches<\/h2>\n<p><em>Limit to:<\/em> Once a week<\/p>\n<p><em>Or swap to:<\/em> Chicken, lean beef or pork, egg or tuna sandwiches<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t beat a mountain of bacon stuffed between two slices of white bread. But made with four rashers, it contains around 6.6g of saturated fat. That\u2019s before you\u2019ve even added a good spread of butter or doused it in your choice of sauce.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A diet high in saturated fat is one of the biggest contributors to poor heart health. For this reason, men are told to eat no more than 30g daily, while women are meant to stick to 20g \u2013 but less is better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEating too much saturated fat reduces the liver\u2019s ability to remove LDL (bad) cholesterol from the blood,\u201d explains Tracy Parker, a dietitian and nutrition lead at the British Heart Foundation. \u201cThis leads to a build-up of fatty material in the walls of blood vessels, which narrows them and reduces blood flow to the heart, increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As well as bacon, other foods high in saturated fat \u2013 so also worth limiting \u2013 are sausages (about 9.8g per two), burgers (9.8g), butter (7.8g per tablespoon) and coconut oil (13g per tablespoon).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA bacon sandwich once a week can be part of a healthy diet if you balance it with nutritious foods and healthier cooking methods,\u201d says Parker. \u201cChoose grilled lean unsmoked bacon, limit it to two rashers and use wholegrain bread instead of buttered white bread.\u201d However, it is still better to opt for healthier sandwich fillings, such as roast chicken breast, lean beef or pork, eggs and fish, she adds.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"u-heading-size-medium u-heading-style-normal\">2. Crisps<\/h2>\n<p><em>Limit to:<\/em> An occasional treat<\/p>\n<p><em>Or swap to:<\/em> A handful of unsalted nuts or popcorn<\/p>\n<p>The majority of us tuck into crisps at least once a week but, as they\u2019re high in salt (around 0.3g per 25g pack), they may contribute to heart disease. We\u2019re supposed to have no more than 6g per day, with less being healthier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/health-fitness\/diet\/nutrition\/seven-foods-to-avoid-if-you-dont-want-a-heart-attack\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the biggest killer in the UK and, despite killing twice as many women as breast cancer, heart disease is often misdiagnosed among the gender.
