Effects of Diet & Exercise on Disease - GCSE Biology

🦊 In this GCSE Biology video, we discuss the importance of a balanced diet and exercise in maintaining good health. It highlights that a healthy diet should include a variety of foods like fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals, proteins from animal or plant sources, carbohydrates including fibers, and healthy fats from seeds, nuts, and oils. The video also addresses the consequences of an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise, such as the risk of heart disease and obesity. It explains that diets high in cholesterol and saturated fat can lead to fatty deposits in arteries and discusses the role of obesity as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Additionally, the video touches on the use of Body Mass Index (BMI) in assessing obesity and its limitations, especially in athletic individuals, and shows a graph illustrating the correlation between BMI and the risk of type 2 diabetes, emphasizing that this shows correlation, not causation.
