However, when they combined the same fatty meal with a salad, the decline was not observed.
A second study using purple grape juice saw the same protection.
Take an antioxidant-rich supplement.
Inanother study, subjects with heart disease were fed a high fat meal.
Soon after, they experienced a drop in artery health.
Another studylooked at what happened to volunteers who were fed a high fat meal accompanied by oats.
When subject ate a high fat meal, the usual drop in artery function was observed.
However, when 60 grams of oatmeal was added to the meal, artery health tended to be preserved.
The protective effect was not seen with wheat.
Your fork can determine your fate.
The strategies described here can protect your health from the artery damage following a meal high in animal sources.
