There is truth in the statement that you are what you eat. Unhealthy eating habits can form a foundation for various lifestyle diseases including diabetes and high blood pressure. For instance, eating junk foods rich in carbohydrates and fats is a well-known risk factor for the development of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. This is even worse when it is combined with a sedentary lifestyle characterized by low physical activity.
High body fat levels can lead to the complications associated to high cholesterol levels. Therefore, to keep these complications at bay and reduce your risk of a stroke, institute the habit of eating a healthy, balanced diet that is rich in vegetables and also contains proteins.
