Nom, Nom, NO!

A greasy cheeseburger would taste good right about now, and nothing quite goes with Sunday night football like pizza and wings. Bet you never thought about how all that fat, cholesterol, and salt could be setting you up to fall victim to the number one killer of men — heart disease.

Yes, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but greasy, salty, deep-fried foods are not part of a heart-healthy diet. (I can just hear those groans of sheer disappointment.) In addition to diet, other factors such as stress, excessive drinking, and smoking can also increase your chances of developing heart disease. However, even if you’ve been practicing bad habits for decades, it’s never too late to make a lifestyle change so you can make sure you’re around for the next 30 or so Super Bowls.
