Why
Fried Foods Enhances The Risk Of Heart Diseases
Recent studies have
shown that eating more fried foods can lead to increased risk of
Heart diseases. According to research, people who ate fried foods at least
once per week had a greater tendency to get heart diseases and the
risk increases as the frequency of fried foods consumption
increases.
Fried foods
usually contain partially hydrogenated oils or trans fats along with
saturated fat. Transfats tends to raise total cholesterol and LDL
(bad) cholesterol levels and lowers HDL(good) cholesterol levels,
which contributes to an increased risk for heart diseases.
On the other
hand, transfats prevents the synthesis of prostacyclin which is
necessary for blood
flowing.When arteries cannot produce prostacyclin that causes
formation of blood clots and it may leads to sudden death.
Transfats
are usually formed by repeated heating of oils basically in
commercial setups. Eating fried foods away from home where frying oil
may not be fresh posed the greatest risk. With each reuse, oil
becomes more degraded and more gets absorbed into food that
contributes to weight gain, increases LDL(bad)cholesterol levels and
high blood pressure which are the risk factors for heart diseases.
Popularly
available oils like soybean, corn and sunflower have greater tendency
to produce transfats upon repeated heating compared to age old ground
nut oil and till oil which have less tendency to form transfats.
