Cardiologist warns about five foods that may harm the heart and blood vessels
A cardiologist, not named in the publication, warns that some everyday foods may harm the cardiovascular system. People over 40 are urged to be especially careful.
In an article published by a Latvian news outlet, a cardiologist draws attention to five food products that may harm the heart and blood vessels. The warning concerns people who may be putting their health at risk through their diet without realising it. The material was published on 22 October 2026.
Why diet matters
A proper, balanced diet supplies the body with the vitamins and minerals it needs. It also helps keep the heart, brain and other vital organs healthy. By contrast, a careless attitude towards food quality and its effect on the body can damage the cardiovascular system.
Who should be especially careful
The doctor stresses that people over the age of 40 should be more vigilant. This applies above all to those who also have other health problems.
What the risks are
According to the cardiologist, regular consumption of the products in question can promote the formation of plaques in blood vessels. This raises the risk of vessels becoming blocked and of blood clots forming. The doctor advises paying attention to these foods, although the specific list of products is not included in the article text available.
