Detailed explanation-1: -Fast food items are rich in high salt and long been associated with blood pressure. Chronic intake of high salt, above the recommended level, could increase the blood pressure level and is a risk for various cardiovascular diseases and stroke (Ha, 2014).
Detailed explanation-2: -On average, foods from fast food restaurants contain 1, 848 mg of sodium per 1, 000 calories and foods from dine-in restaurants contain 2, 090 mg of sodium per 1, 000 calories. The U. S. Dietary Guidelines recommend the general population limit sodium to less than 2, 300 mg a day.
Detailed explanation-3: -Although most fast food menu items are loaded with salt, there are many options that are lower in sodium. Be sure to enjoy these foods in moderation, as most are still high in fat, calories, or added sugar.
Detailed explanation-4: -Consuming high-fat, high-salt, high-sugar, or processed foods can directly contribute to the build-up of plaque in the arteries. As this plaque blocks and constricts blood flow throughout your body, the result is a dramatically higher risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
