Fried foods are increasingly popular and loved by young people thanks to their simple processing, crispness and delicious taste. But many studies have shown that eating a lot of fried foods increases the risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.
1. Fried foods increase the risk of heart disease and other health problems
Frying is a popular cooking method in the United States and many other countries around the world. Eating small amounts of fried foods is not a cause for concern, but consuming large amounts increases the risk of health effects.
Specifically, people who eat fried food 1-3 times a week have a 7% higher risk of heart attack and stroke than people who eat less than once a week. For those who ate fried foods every day, the risk of heart disease spiked to 14%.
Many nutritionists say this is not the first study to demonstrate a link between fried foods and health problems. Previous studies have linked fried food habits with chronic diseases , such as type 2 diabetes , heart failure , obesity and high blood pressure . While fried chicken, fries and buns may be delicious, regular consumption can cause premature death, a new study warns.
People should also be aware of the effects of high fat intake on heart health. Research has highlighted that fried and fatty foods are directly linked to heart disease. Heart attacks are caused by cholesterol plaques building up in the coronary arteries. Consuming fat from fried foods directly affects the risk of developing this disease. A cholesterol plaque in the arteries causes a heart attack.

2. The influence of fried food on women
A recently published study found that women who eat more than 1 serving of fried chicken or fish per week have an increased risk of heart disease and early death.
In the long-term study focusing on heart disease, cancer and other health problems in postmenopausal women, nearly 107,000 women between the ages of 50 and 79 were asked about their diet and problems. other health issues. After following them for two decades, 31,588 people died with:
9,320 heart-related cases; 8,358 people died of cancer; 13,880 people died of other causes. From the study it can be concluded that women who eat a lot of fried food also have other health problems and affect the heart. However, fried foods may not be the only culprit that increases your risk of heart disease. Other risk factors may also play a role. For example, obesity, exercising less than once a week and smoking habits may play a part in the increased risk of death. Specifically:
1/3 of the participants who ate more than 1 fried food per week were obese; 44% of people with the disease consume more than 1 fried food per day; More than half of the patients exercised less than 150 minutes per week; Approximately 40% of patients had ever smoked. But even after the researchers controlled for these risk factors, fried foods were still shown to be associated with an increased risk of death:
Women who ate 1 serving of fried food per day had an increased risk of death. 8% higher risk of death than those who don't eat fried food; Consuming ≥ 1 serving of fried chicken per day was associated with a 13% higher risk of death from any cause, and a 12% higher risk of heart-related death;

Consuming ≥ 1 serving of fried fish or seafood per day was associated with a 7% higher risk of death from any cause, and a 13% higher risk of heart-related death. Unlike eating a lot of grilled meat, the researchers found no evidence that fried foods increased the risk of dying from cancer.
3. The degree of influence of fried food on men
Men are also likely to be affected by eating a lot of fried foods. A study of 155,000 men with an average age of 64 found:
Less than 50% of people eat fried food < 1 time/week; About 1/3 ate fried food 1-3 times/week; About 5% of people eat fried food every day. During the three-year study follow-up, nearly 6,800 people developed heart disease or stroke.
Overall, total fried food consumption is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, including cardiovascular disease. This is a well-known consequence of fried foods leading to weight gain and obesity, as well as increases in cholesterol and triglycerides.

4. Points to note
Although the above studies do not identify specific fried foods, fried foods are generally unhealthy because this cooking method adds more fat and calories.
Women who eat fried foods regularly have a much larger daily calorie intake than those who do not eat fried foods. Compared to the amount of olive oil used in salads, fried foods absorb significantly more oil and the calories are also out of control.
If the oil is not hot enough when you put the food in, the dish will absorb more oil before it is golden. The temperature of the frying oil should be 325 - 375°F or 163 - 190°C before adding the food.
Sometimes some foods are fried and then covered with sauce, like chicken wings or donuts, so people don't realize they're eating fried food. If you see something crispy or yellow in color, it's most likely fried food.
Most people tend to eat fried foods from restaurants - where deep fryers are often used in peanut or canola oil. If you love fried foods, you should cook them at home and use olive oil. Cooking at home may be different from frying at a restaurant. Specifically, when frying at home, we do not reuse the oil many times.
The results of these studies are an opportunity to help yourself live healthier and longer through lifestyle and dietary changes. It's time to choose a healthy diet instead of just following habits and preferences.
