Doctors sound the alarm: 5 foods that thicken blood and raise blood pressure

• 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.
