While dairy can be healthy in moderation, consuming large amounts of cheese, cream, and butter raises cholesterol levels and contributes to thicker blood. Cheese is especially high in sodium, making it a double risk for hypertension.
5. Sugary Foods and Drinks
Excess sugar, especially from sodas, cakes, and pastries, contributes to weight gain, insulin resistance, and inflammation. This leads to higher blood pressure and makes the blood more prone to clotting.
