Fatty foods enhance gas and bloating more leading to passing of gas or belching often times. Deep-fried fatty foods such as french fries, and processed meats such as bacon and sausage, also contain rich amounts of sodium, which can further exacerbate gas and bloating.

Poor functioning of the heart results in cardiac arrest and high blood pressure. Foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol include beef, beef fat, lamb, veal, organ meats, poultry fat, whole milk, butter, cream and egg yolks. Processed foods such as commercially prepared cookies, cakes, chips, crackers and fast food, are major contributors of trans fats.

5. Inability to Perform Exercise: Exercise is a good way of burning calories. Fatty foods appear to have a short-term effect on exercise performance because the body reacts to high fat content in the blood by releasing certain proteins that essentially make the metabolism less efficient as the human muscles become less efficient at using oxygen and fuel to make the energy needed to run.
