Fast food is known for its high fat content and low nutritional value. But high-fat food not only affects the heart and leads to heart problems, it is also bad for the respiratory system.

 

After eating high-fat fast food such as fried potatoes or hamburgers, lung function is reduced. The inflammation markers in the airways increase significantly, as can be determined by analysing the lung sputum of asthma patients.

 

For people who suffer from asthma, it is therefore essential: Stay away from fast food, as it can significantly worsen the symptoms of the disease. This not only applies to regular consumption of high-fat food, but also happens after just one meal.
