All of us knows how much hype the heart diseases are creating now. Doctors used to say there is no satisfactory cure for the heart diseases like cholesterol, blood pressure or chronic inflammation.
Our first question should be “Why these heart diseases appeared in my body”. The answer is quiet simple, that is, the food we intake is responsible for these deadly heart diseases. Before I go further into details, You should know about the basic mechanism of our body. Our body needs energy to regulate and survive which is produced by burning of food in the presence of oxygen. Now, for food to burn, first, it has to be digested into very small particles of molecular size and then it mixes with blood and get transferred all over the body organs where this food is burnt in presence of oxygen. This process looks very simple but can easily become very complicated if the amount of fat in the food is higher than normal as fats don't have the tendency to mix with blood easily and the unsaturated fats gets attached to the walls of arteries and results in blood pressure or higher percentage of trans-fat causes cholesterol.
So, long term intake of such type of food can results in heart diseases. Such types of food include the food which have high fat percentage and highly acidic or junk food.
