Junkfood Countdown

A single junk food meal (which is composed mainly of saturated fat) is bad for the health of our arteries, while no damage occurs after eating a "Mediterranean" style meal, which is rich in good fats. In fact, this kind of meal may even have a POSITIVE effect on our arteries.

The results were established in 28 non-smoking men, who ate the Mediterranean-type meal first and then the junk food-type meal one week later.

And it ‘s possible to tell this right away: By measuring endothelial function, a researcher can determine how easily the arteries will dilate following the consumption of the two types of meals. Endothelial function is closely linked to the long-term risk of developing coronary artery disease.

Cardiovascular expert Anil Nigam says, "These results will positively alter how we eat on a daily basis. Poor endothelial function is one of the most significant precursors of atherosclerosis. It is now something to think about at every meal."

Here’s something to think about at every meal: If you’re the wrong kinds of food or you’re eating too much, you need to download Anne Strieber’s famous diet book, "What I Learned From the Fat Years." Using scientific principles, she devised a diet that helped her to lose 100 pounds and YOU CAN TOO, and it costs MUCH LESS than the ineffective diet books you’ll find in stores, especially now that the price has just been reduced to TO $2.99 ($2 off, was $4.99)!
