Los médicos dan la alarma: 5 alimentos que espesan la sangre y aumentan la presión arterial

2. Refined sunflower oil (especially for frying)

Its use is frequent, especially repeated. However, when heated, this oil forms compounds that damage the walls of blood vessels, thicken the blood and trigger inflammatory processes.

Why is it harmful:

• Excess omega-6 fatty acids lead to inflammation

• Toxic compounds are formed during frying

Healthy alternative  : olive oil (use cold only), and for cooking — clarified butter (ghee) or coconut oil.

3. White bread and pasta

They seem harmless, especially at breakfast. But simple carbohydrates raise blood sugar, trigger an insulin response, and trigger inflammation. It’s a shortcut to internal vascular damage.

Why are they harmful:

• Blood sugar spikes damage arterial walls

• Increase triglyceride levels

• Reduce the elasticity of blood vessels

Healthy alternative:  Whole grain or rye bread — in moderation.
