Impact of Modern Food Style on Cardiovascular Health in Young Adults

Abstract

The dietary habits of young adults have significantly evolved in recent decades due to factors like globalization, technological advancements, and lifestyle changes. This review article examines the impact of modern food styles on cardiovascular health among young adults. We explore various dietary patterns, their nutritional compositions, and the resulting physiological effects on cardiovascular systems. Key areas of focus include the rise in consumption of processed foods, the shift towards high-fat and high-sugar diets, and the decrease in the intake of whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Additionally, we discuss the role of socioeconomic and cultural factors in shaping dietary behaviors and their implications for public health. Through a comprehensive analysis of recent studies, we aim to provide a nuanced understanding of how contemporary eating habits contribute to cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. The review concludes with recommendations for promoting healthier dietary practices to mitigate the adverse effects of modern food styles on cardiovascular health in young adults.
