Fast food is not the healthiest food choice, but some options affect heart health more than others, cardiologist Michael May told SheFinds.
According to the expert, one of the worst foods is french fries with additives. Its use leads to clogged arteries and increases the risk of heart disease.
French fries are unhealthy on their own, but adding cheese, sour cream, or meat makes things worse. These additives not only contribute to weight gain, but also adversely affect the cardiovascular system.
The process of cooking french fries in hot oil results in increased calorie absorption, especially if the oil is reused. Adding cheese and other toppings increases calories, saturated fat, and sodium, all of which are bad for the heart.
While it’s okay to satisfy your fast food cravings from time to time, moderation is crucial. Avoiding unhealthy fast food and opting for heart-healthy foods will benefit your health in the long run, the medic said.
