Excess intake of fats is harmful to the body because it causes obesity. Would it be harmful to the body to take too much protein or vitamins in the diet?
Solution
Large quantities of any food are harmful. The typical amount of daily protein or vitamins that you should eat differs depending on a number of circumstances, including age, gender, exercise, health, total diet and other variables.
Complete answer : Yes, hope everyone is aware about the term “obesity”. There are various reasons for it, but in general, we have a notion that taking so much fat content food, leads to obesity. Obesity also occurs when you consume more fat and sugar, but there is no physical activity. So, as a result of this, all surplus energy gets stored in your body as fat. Due to all these factors, in general we tell consumption of so much fat-filled food is harmful to our body.
Now, many of us may have a question in our mind. What would happen if we took more vitamins and proteins in our regular diet? Will it also cause obesity and harm to our health?
Yes, if we take an excess of proteins it may lead to some health issues like weight gain. Why because the consumption of excess protein gets stored as fat and excretes more amino acids. Eventually leads to other issues like bad breath, constipation, dehydration, etc.
Next is about vitamins, routinely overloading with vitamins will harm your health. Multivitamins can be taken as prescribed by doctors. But at the same time, too much vitamin C or zinc could cause nausea, diarrhoea, and stomach cramps. Taking too much selenium could lead to hair loss, gastrointestinal upset, fatigue, and mild nerve damage.
Note :To have proper functioning of your body, you should always take a balanced diet. This helps to have enough nutrients in your body.
