When you're stressed, do you tend to reach for high-fat comfort foods like ice cream and potato chips? If that's the case, you might want to think twice, say researchers at the University of Birmingham in the UK.

A new study published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition finds that eating high-fat foods before a stressful event may adversely affect endothelial function.

Endothelial cells are the single layer of cells lining blood vessels. When it is functioning properly, it participates in the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels. It also manages the movement of fluids and other molecules into body tissues.

Endothelial dysfunction leads to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, blocked arteries, and high blood pressure.
