If a person is over 60, then it is very likely that he has already formed certain habits that he has followed for decades. It is difficult to say goodbye to some bad habits, but this is important for health. It is especially important to pay attention to heart health at this age, writes Parade.

Data shows that the average age of the first heart attack is 65 years for men and 72 years for women. Therefore, the publication says that in order to reduce the risk of a heart attack, daily habits are of great importance. According to three cardiologists with whom the publication spoke, there is one popular breakfast that creates additional stress for the heart. They believe that eating sausage or bacon every morning for breakfast is harmful to heart health, as it creates additional stress on this organ. It is noted that regular consumption of any of these processed fatty meats has a negative impact on cardiovascular health, both in the short term and in the long term. “In the short term, regular consumption of sausage or bacon can increase blood pressure and cholesterol levels due to the high sodium and saturated fat content,” said cardiologist Lars Sondergaard.

In addition to raising blood pressure, according to another cardiologist, Estelle Jean, eating sausage or bacon every day for breakfast can increase inflammation in the body and also lead to weight gain. It is noted that this has a negative impact on the heart.

The third cardiologist, Ms. Jennifer Wong, notes that the long-term risks of consuming fatty meats include heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure and dementia. Cardiologists also advise people over 60 to minimize their consumption of other breakfast foods, especially butter, baked goods and fried foods. | BGNES
