JAKARTA - Breakfast functions to protect the body and support activities all day. However, don't just choose the type of breakfast because there is food that can endanger important organs if consumed in the morning. For example, the heart. Eating the following food too often in the morning can endanger your heart organs.

Here, Kylene Bogden, RDN, co-founder of FWD fuel, reported by Livestrong, Monday, August 14, distributed breakfast that must be discipated or restricted for long-term heart health.

A delicious meat menu is used as breakfast. But if you consume it consistently, it can disturb your heart's work. Because foods such as▁jantungs, sausages, and ham are full of saturated fats, said Bogden. Too much saturated fat in daily foods can increase LDL cholesterol (bad). This increases the risk of blockage of arteries and cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis.

A meta-analysis in July 2015 in the 'Public Health Nutrition' found that people eating more red meat and processed meat have a higher chance of dying from heart problems and cancer.

You can choose an alternative meatless breakfast menu such as turkeys or fresh fish instead of red meat.

The variety of pastries such as donut, airfall, and chalissants is also a danger to the heart. The reason is, pastries contain three dangerous ingredients such as saturated fat, refined sugar, and chemicals such as food dyes that cause body inflammation. Over time, chronic inflammation will damage arteries and small blood vessels that cause heart disease.

Someselves and granolas contain sugar which, if rotated, is almost as much as a plate of pastries.

"Additional sugars, especially refined sugars, are usually the main ingredients in this product and sugar can cause inflammation rather than saturated fats in terms of heart health," said Bogden.

When you consume too much sugar, the body releases insulin that stores excess sugar in fat cells. In the long term, this can lead to weight gain and insulin resistance. Which is a risk factor for inflammation and certain metabolic conditions, according to Clinic Cleveland.

Breakfast, which is also often called fire, is quite popular, but not always good for the heart. The reason is, pancake is often made with processed carbohydrates such as white flour, which has been eliminated important nutrients.

According to Clinic Cleveland, processed carbohydrates that lack enough fiber can increase blood sugar, triggering an inflammatory response. Especially if you enjoy pancake breakfast coupled with high butter in fat and diabetes.

Morning drinks can also be a "garmic bomb" that damages heart health. In fact, sweet drinks are the main supply of additional sugar in American foods, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Instead of consuming instant drinks, it's better to make your own coffee and tea without sweeteners. Drinking tea and coffee that is rich in antioxidants in moderate amounts can be beneficial for the heart.
