Vladimir Popov, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Therapy at the Russian Biotechnological University, listed foods that can increase the risk of stroke.
Oku.Az According to Gazeta.ru, he said that products containing hidden salt and sugar are especially dangerous.
“Salt increases blood pressure, while sugar and saturated fats promote chronic inflammation and atherosclerosis. Therefore, it is recommended to limit consumption of sugary carbonated drinks, cakes, pies, ready-made desserts, mayonnaise, ketchup, and also various salad dressings. As with white bread and packaged juices, frequent use of these products significantly increases the risk of stroke,” Popov said.
