SENTENCE EXAMPLE
What happens if we have too
much or too little nutrient?
Fat
Although fat is needed in our diet we need to make sure that, we do not eat too
much as it can lead obesity and other complications. It may result in shortage of
breath and high blood pressure. If too much fat surrounds parts of our body (such as
the intestines), it may cause them to stop working effectively. Fat can block up
arteries, which stops blood flowing properly to the heart and then can lead to
coronary heart disease. If we do not consume enough fat, it can make us feel cold, as
fat stores under the skin. This helps to insulate our body from the cold.
