He wrote, \u201cHe looks like a statue. Shredded. Vascular. Peak performance. But I\u2019ve seen what\u2019s inside those vessels \u2014 and it\u2019s not pretty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the cardiologist, being on extreme diets like carnivore foods for years can lead to several heart health issues, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sky-high LDL<\/li>\n<li>Endothelial dysfunction<\/li>\n<li>Chronic inflammation<\/li>\n<li>Premature atherosclerosis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Athletic \u2260 healthy<\/p>\n<p>Dr Yaranov explained that, though when you are on a high-protein diet, your body on the outside looks like a machine, the inside, in most cases, tells a different story. He added, \u201cI\u2019ve cared for \u2018fit\u2019 35-year-olds with heart attacks. No symptoms. No warning. Just a ticking time bomb.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, he warned that being athletic does not mean that you are healthy. Similarly, low body fat is also not equivalent to being low risk for any of the heart diseases. \u201cA six-pack doesn\u2019t protect you from a plaque rupture. If your diet destroys your endothelium \u2014 it doesn\u2019t matter how strong your biceps are,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Dr Yaranov advised that if you really want to be healthy, it\u2019s not about extremes. Rather, it is about finding balance, eating whole foods, preferably plant-based diets, and getting regular blood work done.<\/p>\n<p>Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.
