Title translation: "An unexpected vegetable that damages the heart has been identified"

Nutritionists have warned about potential harm of a popular vegetable to heart health. According to specialists, excessive potato consumption can negatively affect the cardiovascular system.

The reason lies in the high content of starch, which quickly converts to glucose in the body, triggering sharp spikes in blood sugar levels. This, in turn, increases the risk of developing hypertension, atherosclerosis, and heart diseases. Fried potato dishes, such as french fries or chips, are especially dangerous due to high amounts of trans fats and salt.

Doctors recommend moderate potato consumption, preferring baked or boiled options, and combining them with vegetables rich in fiber. Balance in nutrition is the key to a healthy heart!
