00:00The six worst artery-clogging deli foods that are so bad for your heart.
00:06Processed meats. Processed meats like salami, pepperoni, and corned beef are high in sodium
00:11and saturated fat, which can harm your heart. They also contain nitrates and nitrites,
00:16preservatives linked to both heart disease and cancer.
00:20Hot dogs and deli sausages. Hot dogs and sausages are heavily processed,
00:24containing fillers and preservatives. They're also loaded with sodium,
00:28which can raise blood pressure and cholesterol. Eating them often can lead to long-term heart
00:33problems. Bacon. Despite its popularity, bacon is a major red flag for heart health. It's high
00:41in saturated fat, which raises bad LDL cholesterol, and is also loaded with sodium. Due to these
00:46factors, it's best to enjoy bacon only occasionally. Cheese-heavy sandwiches. Stacking cheese on deli
00:54sandwiches adds a lot of saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. This can lead to clogged arteries and
00:59higher heart disease risk. Instead, opt for lean protein and plenty of veggies for a more balanced
01:04sandwich. Cream or cheese-based soups. While creamy soups like broccoli cheddar and clam chowder are
01:12comforting, they're not heart-healthy. High in saturated fat and sodium, they contribute to plaque
01:17buildup and high blood pressure. Opt for lighter broth-based soups with vegetables and lean protein
01:22instead. French fries. It's no surprise that french fries are bad for your heart. Deep-fried and loaded
01:30with unhealthy fats and sodium, they strain your heart and increase risks for obesity, high cholesterol,
01:35and heart disease. Choose a healthier side instead.
