Dr Philip Ovadia now shifts the focus to refined carbohydrates and says they can quietly damage the heart over time.
“This food drives insulin resistance, triggers chronic inflammation, and is slowly destroying your heart,” Dr Ovadia said.
The doctor noted that eating refined carbohydrates can lead to arterial plaque buildup, which elevates the risk of a heart attack.
“It leads to exactly the inflammatory environment that turns into that soft, unstable plaque I see causing heart attacks every week in the operating room,” he explained.
Dr Ovadia warned that some foods advertised as healthy may still contain a lot of refined carbohydrates. “Even foods marketed as healthy, like low-fat granola, whole wheat bread, and rice cakes are loaded with these refined carbs,” he said.
He also advised people to limit foods such as bagels, flavored yogurts, fruit juice, instant oatmeal, breakfast cereals, crackers, and potato chips. Instead, he recommended a diet rich in vegetables, healthy fats, and protein.
