The Effect of High-Fat Diet on Obesity and Potential Application of Ketogenic Diet

Abstract

In recent years, the global overweight and obesity rate is increasing rapidly, which has become a serious problem threatening human health. With the rapid development of the economy, people have a very diverse choice of food, especially high-sugar, high-salt, high-fat diet. The high-fat diet contains a lot of Saturated and Unsaturated fatty acids, especially Saturated fatty acids. A long-term high-fat diet will make Triglycerides accumulate in the body, so it is more likely to induce obesity. At the same time, the ketogenic diet began to gain popularity around the world as an effective means of weight loss. By changing the way of metabolism in the body, the body is in a nutritional ketosis state, and the effect of greatly reducing body fat in a short time is achieved. In summary, this paper summarizes the causes of obesity by high-fat diet and the mechanism of ketogenic diet as an intervention for obesity and discusses the future of ketogenic diet in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
