Pizzas, burgers, cheese-loaded wraps, all sound so mouth-watering right! Have you ever paused for a second and thought about the consequences of overconsumption of these unhealthy food items? According to a survey, the rate of cardiac arrest amongst people between the ages of 25-30 is consistently increasing. In maximum cases, it is either stress or imbalanced cholesterol that makes the heart disfunction. 

These street foods use oil in a handsome amount. Most of them reuse the same oil several times. Excess of oil can get you to increase in cholesterol. It is not needed to mention how dangerous is cholesterol for your heart. Usually, we are mistaken with the fact that most of the damage caused by unhealthy eating is the stomach. Without a doubt this fact is correct but another organ that is seriously damaged by this habit is the heart.

The trend

In the name of trend, we do a lot of things that are even not worthy of being done. This Gen “Z” and their obsession with social media has budded a lot of habits that are good for flaunting but it has the dark side for one those who are following. Food blogging, ASMR challenges and food vlogging has so much advertised this unhealthy food and street-side food stall that it has become a fashion trend. These junk foods and roadside food stalls are unhygienic and unsafe for your heart and can cause Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). There are several other critical conditions that you might face while consumptions of these munchies. Channelizing street-side food for likes and subscribers with monetary benefit has become a new technique to go viral. 

No one calculates the consequences and ignores the early signs of heart trouble. People, instead of taking care of their hearts focus on keeping up with the irrelevant and dangerous trends. 

Hectic Lifestyle

This hectic lifestyle has made us quick on everything. Instead of cooking a healthy meal, we feel convenient to order online. Often, inappropriate salt portion in the food item shoots up/down the blood pressure. this again disturbs the heart to work properly. 

Also, the bizarre trend of eating immense spicy food has completely affected the heart, blood pressure and of course, it can give you other stomach related issues. The combination of unhealthy food and stress is very deadly that we need to understand. Another thing that complicates heart health is alcohol. People often make stress as an excuse for regressive drinking. This is another reason that causes heart diseases.
