Just three weeks of such a "diet" is enough to ensure problems with the heart and blood vessels. It's not even about the diet, but about eating habits that take health into oblivion.

Research has shown what store-bought baked goods and other high-fat foods do to your blood and blood vessels.

The RG.ru publication reports which foods should be avoided in order to maintain heart health, citing research by Oxford University staff.

Junk food

We are not even talking about smoked sausage or hot dogs, but about harmless croissants, cookies and other store-bought baked goods and products saturated with fats.

Eating just one serving a day is enough to land you in a hospital bed.

Traditionally, volunteers were divided into two groups. Some were fed various desserts with saturated fats for weeks.

Others were not spoiled, but healthy fats were included in their diet – fish, nuts, olive oil.

As a result, the participants of the first group were unable to show off high health indicators.

Their total and "bad" cholesterol levels worsened by 10%, they had more fat in their liver, changes in their blood were recorded, and their risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic problems increased overall.

The danger is that the changes occur within three weeks.

It only takes one month for the risk of cardiovascular diseases to increase several times, even without the threat of excess weight.
