The Effects of Dietary Nutrients on Obesity

Abstract

Obesity is a major public health problem affecting people of all ages, genders and ethnicities around the world. It is characterized by an abnormal or disproportionate amount of fat that can be detrimental to people’s health. There are many factors relating to obesity, such as pressure, sedentary life, dietary and so on. One of the most relevant factors in people’s lives is their daily diet. The objective of this paper is to analyze the repeatedly observed link between obesity and carbohydrate, low vitamin D levels and protein intake. Besides, this paper also focuses on how dietary nutrients affect people's obesity. Upon ingestion of these three nutrients by the human body, a potential mechanism of digestion and subsequent metabolic processes can be elucidated. Subsequent to digestion, the effects on the human body can be observed. Thus, a thorough understanding of the potential mechanisms and their resulting effects can be achieved. This article provides important insight into the effects of carbohydrate, vitamin D and protein on obesity. It also provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of the complex relationship between nutrition and obesity.
