Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Germany, ahead of cancer.
Anyone who only changes one eating habit should prevent a heart attack immensely.
Little exercise, stress and smoking can make the heart sick.
All risk factors that can be easily influenced.
An unbalanced diet also promotes arteriosclerosis and thus heart attacks and strokes *.
Lots of fruit, vegetables and whole grain products, little meat, saturated fatty acids and sugar and as rarely as possible alcohol and sausage:
If you stick to a few simple dietary rules, you not only reduce your heart attack, but also your risk of diabetes and cancer
.

identified a food that is believed to be particularly damaging to heart health.
Many of us eat it every day.

The researchers evaluated the data of almost 150,000 study participants from 21 countries, whose eating habits and state of health were analyzed for an average of 9.5 years.
The researchers noticed
that the consumption of a group of foods is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases
.
For example, those people who ate more than 350 grams of white flour products per day (about seven servings) had a 27 percent higher risk of premature death from heart diseases such as heart attacks than those who ate less than 50 grams of refined grains per day .
As the portal
Heilpraxisnet
further reported, an increase in white flour products also led to increased blood pressure values.
The study, which was published on the specialist portal
The bmj
, further states: "No significant associations were found between the
consumption
of whole grain products or white rice and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases".
In their conclusion, the researchers state: “
High consumption of refined grains was associated with a higher risk of mortality and serious cardiovascular disease
.
Globally, lower consumption of refined grains should be considered ”.

What is Refined Grain?
Toasted bread, pizza dough, pasta, hamburger buns or pancakes:
In products made from refined grains, the nutrient and fiber-rich components of the grain have been removed
. Because there are few or no vitamins and minerals in addition to the lack of fiber, products made from white flour are often referred to as “empty” calories. White flour, which is made from refined wheat, is mostly used for bread rolls, toast and the like. The body can digest this well and quickly, but according to the Norddeutscher Rundfunk, white flour meals put a strain on the blood sugar balance by causing the blood sugar to skyrocket.
