People who regularly consume a Southern-style diet can increase a person’s risk for heart disease, according to a recent study.

To prove this, the researchers analyzed data from a longitudinal study of 17,418 people in their 40’s between 2003 to 2007 year. Given the nature of the study, the researchers cannot determine with certainty that a Southern diet alone was responsible for the increased risk of heart-related issues.

Even earlier research has shown that processed meat, fried food and sweetened beverages are associated with greater risks of cardiovascular disease. Experts have rounded up five recipes as healthy ones from southern diet which include - Fried green tomatoes, Creamy macaroni and cheese, Oven fried chicken, Sour cream pound cake and Smoky shrimp and chicken gumbo.
The study was published in the journal Circulation.
