Don't even go near these three foods if you want a healthy heart

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and many of us feel overwhelmed when it comes to taking steps to keep our hearts healthy.
However, the good news is that you don't need long hours of training or extreme diets. Sometimes a few simple changes are enough to make a difference.
One of the easiest things you can do? Eliminate (or severely limit) some foods that are bad for your heart. Here are some of them:
1. Ham
For bacon lovers, this news may be a bit bitter: this food is among the most harmful for heart health. The process of preparing bacon contains a lot of salt, which increases blood pressure and causes inflammation. Also, during cooking, several substances are released that can damage blood vessels.
This doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to it forever, but it's probably best to save it for rare occasions and avoid processed meats in general.
2. French fries
Who can resist a serving of French fries? But here's the bad news: French fries are loaded with unhealthy fats and salt, which negatively impact blood pressure and increase the risk of heart disease. What's more, the oil used is often recycled, making the food even richer in trans fats—the heart's biggest enemy.
3. White bread
White bread is also one of the hidden enemies of heart health. It can cause rapid blood sugar spikes, insulin resistance, and weight gain — all of which are linked to a higher risk of heart disease.
What can you consume instead of them?
Instead of junk food, try adding legumes, such as lentils, chickpeas, and beans, to your diet. They are rich in healthy fiber that helps lower cholesterol and improve gut health.
Also, replace white bread with wholemeal bread, which offers more nutritional value and helps maintain blood sugar at healthy levels, Anabel quotes.
So, next time you go shopping, review your choices and replace some of the unhealthy foods with heart-healthy ones. Your heart will thank you! /Telegraph/
