20 Heart-Unhealthy Foods to Avoid Eating ASAP

11. Pizza

Pizza is another worst food you should avoid on our list for your heart health. On any given day, about one in eight of us has a slice or two. And pizza eaters get up to one-third of their daily calories from their favorite pies. Unfortunately, a typical slice of pizza is loaded with fat, sugar and salt, all of which can raise the risk of a heart attack. Choose a thin crust (whole wheat if possible), ask for less cheese, pile on the veggies, and skip the sausage and bacon, which are loaded with salt.
