Consuming unhealthy saturated foods or sugar would do nothing but to make your body weak from inside. Once your immune system becomes weak then you are an open treat to heart diseases and other ailments and disorders as well. Try to consume lots of vegetables, whole grains, fruits, fish, legumes, and low-fat dairy products in order to stay on the safe side.
Lastly, do not just assume that you are a healthy individual, get regular screenings. Your blood pressure needs a check at least once in a couple of month along with the blood cholesterol levels that should be checked once in a year at least.
