Due to the quite unhealthy diet that people normally have in recent years, obesity becomes a more and more popular health issue. In recent years, it even becomes a risk factor for deaths. This essay mainly focuses on how the components in diet may cause obesity and other diseases and what components are required to make up of a healthy and balanced diet. To figure out a possible solution for the raising negative consequences brought by obesity, like coronary heart disease and type II diabetes, some investigations have been done. The researchers provided mice with either a diet high in fat or a normal diet to simulate the healthy diet and a quite unhealthy one that humans may take. Some extra tests like glucose tests are taken to show whether the mice have got the symptoms of diabetes. The simulation lasted for two months, an overall higher weight for the mice that were fed with high-fat diet was seen, which indicates that high-fat diet will put more weight on creatures. Also, high-fat diet overall leads to a higher glucose level, which suggests that unhealthy diet may show a decrease in the ability to decompose glucose and therefore causes diabetes. After the data is obtained and the result was drawn, nutritionists may cooperate with doctors and try to figure out the best possible diet for the patients that have very high risk of getting or already suffering from obesity, CHD or type 2 diabetes.
