Which statement best explains how chronic diseases are linked to poor eating choices? Adolescent children adopt unhealthy eating
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Adolescent children adopt unhealthy eating practices and a sedentary lifestyle

Explanation:

Adolescent and children  prefer to eat junks foods and fast foods  which are high in calories.These foods fill up the stomach,but lack the basic nutrients(CHO, protein) needed by man for survival and healthy living.

Unfortunately this  set of individuals   do not engage in physical activities but rather adopt sedentary lifestyle -spend hours watching T.V, playing computer games thus proper digestion of these foods does not occur.

The consequences of this  are;  increase the amount of cholesterol and triglyceride which leads to  some heart diseases. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD.

Due to high fats contents  of the junks and fast foods,however because of the sedentary lifestyle, this accumulate in the body thus most  are obese.

The high fats  and  sodium contents of theses foods(fries and chips) also put pressure on the kidney leading to tendency for kidney disease.The sodium  raise the blood pressure,leading to many heart complication.,

Colorectal and prostate cancer are other chronic diseases that may results from poor eating choices. Fries,high sugar  in junks are the causes.
