Ready-to-eat foods linked to heart risk
The study shows that consuming ready-made and preserved foods increases the risk of heart diseases and high blood pressure. Some common preservatives, such as sodium nitrite, potassium sorbate, and ascorbic acid, have been linked to a rise of up to 29% in the risk of high blood pressure and a 16% increase in the likelihood of cardiovascular diseases. The findings suggest that reducing the intake of these added substances and relying more on natural foods is an important step in preventing heart-related illnesses, with a recommendation to limit heavily processed foods.
