Everyone knows that long-term consumption of junk food clogs arteries but, in fact, damage to the arteries actually occurs within only a matter of hours after just one – that’s right, one – fast food meal.
A single junk food meal—composed mainly of saturated fat—whether served in a paper bag from a fast-food take-out joint or served to you table side in a fine restaurant, is detrimental to the health of your arteries. High-fat meals constrict arteries for hours, reducing blood flow; fat globules clog the blood vessels, making it harder for the heart to pump blood.
Think before you eat.
Every meal DOES matter.
