Cardiovascular diseases affect Indians a decade earlier than in Western populations, with high mortality rates and early onset. Experts point to everyday dietary choices as significant contributors to this trend, often leading to silent damage from within.
Dr. Brijmohan Arora, a diabetologist from New Delhi, highlighted five major dietary errors contributing to heart attacks. These problematic foods are seed oils, ultra-processed items, sugary beverages, refined grains like white flour products, and processed meats. Their consumption can silently promote insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, visceral fat accumulation, and arterial damage.
