People have a common misconception that if you have heart problems, you'll experience chest pain, or maybe just a little to the left. But in reality, this means very little, because in terms of the heart, it only indicates developed angina, but much more often, it can indicate problems with other organs entirely. For example, it could indicate gastritis, pancreatitis, or simply neuralgia. In reality, the first warning signs of a heart problem are quite different.
For example, sleep problems—oddly enough, this is when a person experiences anxiety and an inability to fall asleep, literally shaking at night. Another sign is fatigue throughout the day, when you're simply exhausted, with neither the energy nor the enthusiasm to do anything. Another sign of heart problems is, for example, extreme shortness of breath, especially during physical exertion. You literally just climb the stairs and need to stop and catch your breath.
But there's another, very insidious thing here. While these are all heart problems that have at least some symptoms, vascular problems generally don't. If you have high cholesterol, if all your blood vessels are clogged with cholesterol plaques, if you have a high blood clot rate, it will have virtually no noticeable symptoms. And scientists are unequivocal: our diet is the number one factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. And given how we eat these days, and how much extremely low-quality and unhealthy food is sold in supermarkets, and how much it's advertised online and on television, people often really don't know what they shouldn't eat or what the rules are. Interestingly, the most expensive foods aren't necessarily the healthiest, and the cheapest foods aren't necessarily unhealthy. It's much more complicated; it can be quite the opposite.
So, the first product that's harmful to our blood vessels and heart is confectionery. Confectionery poses a double problem. The first problem is, as a rule, the presence of trans fats. The harm of trans fats can be discussed separately. But, besides this, the second problem is the high sugar content. Sugar is also very harmful to our blood vessels; sugar contributes to the formation of cholesterol plaques, and doctors unequivocally recommend that people diagnosed with serious heart disease completely eliminate sugar. I understand, of course, that unless you have significant heart problems, completely eliminating sugar is quite a difficult task, if it's even possible these days, because sugar is present almost everywhere, but minimizing it is highly desirable.
