The Chinese news website Sohu reported a story of a 21-year-old man who was diagnosed with a heart attack.
The young man was rushed to the emergency room in the middle of the night due to stomach pain. After an EKG, doctors discovered he had suffered a heart attack, and during a heart catheterization procedure, they found 70-80% of his heart vessels were blocked.
Doctors say that among young people with cardiovascular disease, patients with congenitally high blood lipids are often found.
However, doctors found that the young man’s incident was not due to congenital health issues but the overconsumption of fried and grilled foods high in fat and salt.
The liver converts the overconsumption of food high in fat and sugar, including red meat, into trimethylamine N-oxide after digestion.
High levels of trimethylamine N-oxide can lead to cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks.
Foods fried at high temperatures multiple times may contain high carcinogens and free radicals. The oils used to fry food may also contain trans fats, free radicals, and other ingredients that can damage blood vessels.
It’s crucial to be aware of the symptoms of heart attacks, as they can be life-saving. Consuming too much of these foods can cause your body to start attacking the endothelial cells in the coronary arteries, leading to hardened and narrowed heart valves. Some early symptoms of heart attacks can cause gastrointestinal reactions, including nausea and vomiting, and some patients may also experience diarrhea. Other known symptoms include feeling suffocated despite not exercising, asthma, and excessive sweating.
