Deep fried foods are also considered very dangerous for heart health. Deep fried foods like pakora, samosa and fried chicken contain trans fat and repeatedly heated oil. These increase LDL, increase inflammation and directly help in plaque formation. Consuming these continuously leads to blockage of arteries quickly.

Processed meat has also been considered dangerous for heart health. Sausage, bacon and salami contain saturated fat, sodium and preservatives. Taking these even in small amounts daily increases cholesterol, hardens the arteries and increases the risk of heart disease.

At the same time, white bread, pastries, sweets and sugary drinks increase blood sugar rapidly, due to which triglycerides increase and fat starts accumulating around the arteries. The risk of diabetes also increases in the long run.

Chips, namkeen, biscuits and baked junk food contain hydrogenated oil. At the same time, all these things also increase LDL and reduce HDL, due to which the blood vessels start narrowing quickly.

Whereas instant noodles, packaged soups, pickles, chips and restaurant foods contain high amounts of sodium. This increases blood pressure and causes damage to artery walls, which accelerates plaque accumulation.

Apart from these, mutton, beef and lamb contain more saturated fat and cholesterol. It increases TMAO which is a compound associated with plaque formation. Experts recommend eating it only occasionally.

At the same time, diet soda can spoil metabolism and increase cravings. Energy drinks increase heart rate and blood pressure, which over time increases extra pressure on the heart.

Carbonated drinks can upset your stomach. Actually, soda, sparkling water and energy fizz drinks are filled with carbon dioxide gas. This gas gets trapped in the stomach and increases the problem of bloating, belching and flatulence in many people. Zero sugar or healthy soda can also cause the same problem because the problem is of gas and not just the ingredients.

Protein shakes can also increase stomach problems. Lactose present in protein shakes, especially dairy-based products, does not suit many people. This can cause gas, stomach pain and bloating. At the same time, plant-based shakes can also cause digestive upset due to sweeteners and gums. Drinking too much protein at one go also puts pressure on the stomach.

At the same time, both natural carbonation and fermentation are present in beer which increases gas in the stomach. The yeast and carbs present in beer ferment in the intestines and form gas. In such a situation, beer, wine or kombucha can increase bloating and heaviness in some people.

Packaged juices, soft drinks and sports drinks contain more sugar which gets digested quickly and ferments in the intestines. This produces gas, especially high protein drinks which further upset the stomach.

Orange, seasonal or lemon juice are also more acidic. Drinking these on an empty stomach irritates the lining of the stomach and increases problems like gas and bloating.
