Danger of Trans Fat for Women

Fried foods can be categorized into saturated fats. The following is one of the reasons why you should avoid all foods containing trans fat is high, especially if you are a woman and an older age. A recent study found that postmenopausal women who are always eating fast food, baked goods and packaging products, more potentially infected with stroke disease by 39 percent. In their research, scientists from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill also received a new discovery that women who take aspirin on a regular basis tend to decrease the risk of stroke significantly. But the researchers caution that the drug does not directly reduce the risk of stroke in women who frequently eat foods high in trans fats. "These findings suggest that you can not eat trans fats by taking aspirin," said Dr. Ka He, who explained that the study only shows the relationship and there is no causal relationship between aspirin use and lower incidence of stroke. "We suggest that further reduce trans fat intake in order to avoid heart disease and stroke," said Ka He, who is a professor of nutrition and epidemiology of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. American Heart Association (AHA) writes, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in the average adult in the United States. Stroke is formed when the arteries that supply blood to the brain is blocked so that block blood flow and oxygen. As a result, the brain cells to die. Stroke can affect motor skills, speech, and cognitive function, depending on which part of the brain are damaged.Factors that could make the incidence of stroke among the obese, smoking, hypertension and lack of exercise. Drinking lots of alcohol to excess, or not at all, are associated with stroke risk. These findings were published online by the March 1, 2012 in the Annals of Neurology. Researchers analyzed data from a national project known as the Women Health Initiative. They examined the intake of trans fats more than 87,000 women aged 50 to 79 years with a diet that is managed using a database at the University of Minnesota and a questionnaire that measures the consumption of trans fats. Researchers gave the question of how much of the 122 kinds of foods they often eat in the three months prior to the study conducted, the survey after three years later. Medical records be revised every year between 1998 and 2005, and as many as 1049 participants reportedly contracted the stroke during that period. Researchers reported, trans fats contribute greatly to the emergence of cardiovascular disease - one of the causes of the risk of stroke - by raising levels of bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol, and may lead to the worst effects on health among all types of fat."Trans fats do not occur naturally, but is commonly found in processed foods due to the mixing of hydrogen in the hydrogenation of vegetable oils," explains Nancy Copperman, director of public health initiatives do North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, Great Neck, NY "It's important to note that women who consumed high trans fats also have an unhealthy lifestyle behaviors such as low physical activity, overeating and smoking," says Copperman, who also said that they also have a higher risk of diabetes. For this reason, Copperman suggested that the women run balanced diet and start a healthy lifestyle as a major step in avoiding a potential stroke. Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, women's health expert of heart disease at Lenox Hill Hospital, New York City, adding that trans fats as "toxic" and is a food that should not be consumed at all. He also forced the consumer to always look at food labels for trans fats are sometimes included in the low-fat diet. "Just because it says low-fat diet, does not mean that the food is healthy," said Steinbaum.
