Heart attacks require immediate medical care to minimize damage to the heart muscle of an individual. While heart attacks can occur all of a sudden, it appears to be an accumulation of unhealthful lifestyle choices that contribute to the case. As more and more evidence emerges about the connection between red and processed meat and heart disease, people are increasingly adopting a plant-based diet. A new study found that halving the amount of red and processed (RPM) meat in the diet can have a substantial impact on health, reducing the amount of LDL' reduced' cholesterol in the blood, which reduces the risk of developing heart disease. Red and processed meats are usually high in saturated fatty acids, which cause an increase in LDL cholesterol. As the study states, this is the "poor" cholesterol that is stored in the walls of the blood vessels, where it can cause blockages and increase the chance of a heart attack.
