An Indian origin researcher has found that, a single junk food meal could raise your risk of a heart attack, cardiovascular disease or stroke later in your life.Experts at the EPIC Centre of Canada’s Montreal Heart Institute, affiliated to the University of Montreal, found that the key to keeping heart disease and other conditions at bay is to switch to a Mediterranean-style diet. The diet is based on healthy foods like oily fish, fresh vegetables and olive oil.

Dr Anil Nigam, director of research at EPIC and associate professor at the university’s Faculty of Medicine compared the effects of junk food and a typical Mediterranean meal on the ability of arteries to dilate after a temporary five-minute blockage. The study included 28 men who did not smoke, and maintained their diet on Mediterranean type meals and then switched to junk food one week later. After the Mediterrean-style meal the men’s arteries were found to dilate normally and maintain good blood flow, whereas after a junk food diet their lungs showed 24% less capacity to dilate. The findings were presented at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress.
