"I&amp;#39;m all for the everything-in-moderation advice, but this new research may prove that wrong, at least when it comes to diet. The thing is, high-fat, junky meals eaten just once, may do damage to your arteries...\nPinterestFacebookA small study conducted by Canadian researchers recently revealed some startling results: A single high-fat, high-calorie fast food meal may impact the health of your arteries in measurable ways.\nThe researchers asked subjects to eat a high-fat fast food meal (think, sausage and egg sandwich with cheese), or a healthful meal of salmon and veggies sauteed in olive oil. The eye-opening findings: In post-meal ultrasounds, the experts were able to determine that the high-fat, junk food meal actually impacted the way the arteries functioned (basically, it slowed down their normal dilation process, making them more sluggish). Those who ate the healthy meal experienced no impact on their arteries.\nThis may seem small, but healthy arterial function is one of the most important markers of good heart health. If one meal can do this to your arteries, imagine what frequent and ongoing junk food can do? Just sayin&amp;#39;!\nKind of fascinating, huh?\nMore reading:\nAre you a burger or a Boca girl? \nThe tastiest chicken burger you may ever try (really)\nThe shocking fast food experiment you have to see to believe \nPhoto: istock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
