The pharmacist warned that one popular breakfast product, which is often eaten in the morning, should be avoided as it can significantly increase cholesterol.
What breakfast product should be avoided?
Regardless of whether you eat a burger or cheese chips, certain meals are dangerous when you have high cholesterol. However, a popular breakfast can also damage your arteries.
Pharmacist Abbas Kanani warned that one food that is often eaten in the morning should be avoided. Fortunately, he also offered a heart -friendly alternative.
“People with high cholesterol should avoid baked goods. They usually contain high -rich fat such as butter and oils, add sugar and usually low in nutrients,” the expert said.
Saturated fat in baked goods increases “bad” cholesterol, also known as low -density lipoprotein (LDL).
Its excess in the blood can cause fat accumulation in the arteries, causing them to clog. This increases the risk of serious health problems such as heart disease and stroke.
Worse, many people with high cholesterol do not even suspect that their level is too high until this problem occurs.
What breakfast to choose?
People with high cholesterol should choose simple white yogurt with heart -beneficial additives for breakfast.
“, Such as blackberries and strawberries, are particularly useful because they help lower cholesterol in your body,” the specialist said.
If you can’t do completely without sweets, add a small amount of honey, which can also be useful and help increase cholesterol.
There are also good options to start a delicious day would be eggs, avocados, whole grain bread, oatmeal (but not flakes).

- Eat fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
- Limit the consumption of red meat.
- Exercise regularly.
