Washington (SmartAboutHealth) - Accoding to a new report published in the journal Circulation, the Western diet made up of fried foods, snacks, and meats make up 30% of the global heart attack risk.

Researchers carried out a study which looked at the various dietary habits of 52 countries around the world.

The idea behind the study was to see which countries had the best diets.

They found that those who ate a Western diet had a 35% greater risk of heart attack compared to those on a diet that did not consist of fried foods and meat as much.

Those who had a diet rich in fruits and vegetables cut their risk of heart attack by 30% compared to those who only ate minimal fruits and vegetables.

The diet which was rich in fruits and vegetables was known as the Prudent diet.

The diet which was found to be in the middle was the Oriental diet which was rich in tofu, sauces, etc.

This diet did not increase or decrease the risk of heart attack overall.

The study shows that the Western diet can result in an increased risk of heart attack.
