Title: Is dieting a clever way to lose weight?

General purpose: To persuade my audience to adopt a healthy way that will protect their
health.

Central idea: Unhealthy diet can be serious health risks and therefore, we must change the
way we constantly adopting an unsafe diet.

INTRODUCTION

I. According to this video everyone wants to be healthy
II. Eats healthy food every day at the right rate

A. Everyone in this class takes care of nutrition and even exercise often
III. But why some of us still on diet but in the wrong way?
IV. What if you get sick because you use the wrong way to take care of your health?

A. Do not eat all day and only drink water for diet.
V. I never thought there would be a handful of people would do this and effect their

own health.
VI. After doing extensive research for this speech, it made me realize not everyone

knows the right way to lose weight if not aware of it.
VII. Today, I hope my speech will help each of you to know how to lose weight in a

clever way.

(Let us look more closely at the health risks of unhealthy diet.)

BODY

I. I am sure most always said or heard a million times – “eat a balanced diet”
II. But what exactly is a balanced diet?

A. According to Office of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, American
dietary guidelines state that most people should consume those vegetables
are four to five servings each day recommended and protein including beans,
fish, meat, and nuts are two to three servings per day recommended.

III. Consumption of all of these constitutes a balanced and healthy diet.
IV. What is an unhealthy diet?

A. Traditionally fast-food products are link to unhealthy diets, as one in three
Malaysia loves to eat fast food each day. Rich in carbohydrates and high fat
content, frequent consumption of fast-food products like fries, fried chicken
and pizza can contribute to an unhealthy diet.

B. Fast foods are not the only cause of unhealthy diets. Unhealthy diets can
involve eating only one type of food. A person who is consuming only meat
products is not getting the daily vitamins and minerals he or she need.

(Transition: what’s the solution?)

I. Slow down which means the pace at which you eat influences how much you eat
as well as how likely you are to gain weight.

II. In fact, studies comparing different eating speeds show that fast eaters are much
likely to eat more and have a higher body mass index than slow eaters.

III. Choose whole grain bread instead of refined. You can easily make your diet a bit
healthier by choosing whole grain bread in place of traditional refined grain bread.

IV. Refined grains have been associated with many health issue. Whole grains have
been linking to a variety of health benefits including a reduced risk of type 2
diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

V. There will be serious medical repercussions if you do not change the proper way
to go on diet
A. Eat one meal per day or just drink water without eating will encouraging yourself
to accept illness.
CONCLUSION

I. In conclusion, an unhealthy diet can lead to health issues such as malnutrition,
poor digestion, inflammation, and obesity.

II. It can also increase risk chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease
also impact your mental health.

III. So do a proper diet and follow the tips that have been approved by a health
professional and encourage your friends and family to do the same.

IV. Start today with a healthy food.
V. We can avoid getting diseases and affecting health to live a healthy life.
VI. If my solution is enacted, you or someone you love will not be a statistic.
VII. Call your representative today!

Unhealthy Diets May Be
World's Biggest Killer

Amy Norton
3 April 2019

Bad diets are shortening lives worldwide and killing more people globally than
either smoking or high blood pressure, a large, new research suggests. The study, of nearly 200
countries, linked poor diet quality to nearly 11 million deaths globally in 2017. That translated to
22 percent of deaths among all adults that year.
Previous research has linked tobacco use to 8 million deaths per year worldwide, and high blood
pressure to just over 10 million deaths. But it's not surprising that diet is so critical, said lead
researcher Dr Ashkan Afshin, of the University of Washington in Seattle.
Poor nutrition helps drive many health conditions, from high blood pressure to type 2 diabetes,
he noted. And it's not just a matter of people eating too much junk food, which is common in
wealthy nations like the United States. The analysis pointed to some eating habits with

particularly strong links to higher death rates: diets high in sodium, and those low in whole
grains, fruits and vegetables, and nuts and seeds.

Basically, Afshin said, it all supports a common refrain when it comes to diet advice: Eat fewer
processed foods and more "whole" plant-based foods. That is the bottom line, agreed Dr
Andrew Freeman, who directs cardiovascular prevention and wellness at National Jewish Health
in Denver. "People are missing a lot from their diets," he said. "If you include more whole, plant-
based foods, that will push out some of the bad things."

Freeman, who was not involved in the study, recently headed a research review examining
some diet "hypes" -- certain foods touted as having heart benefits. The conclusion? The best
evidence supports not miracle foods, but an overall diet high in fruits and vegetables, legumes
and nuts, and fibre-rich whole grains.

For the new study, Afshin's team used published nutrition surveys to look at typical dietary
intakes across 195 countries, plus published research on the relationship between various diet
factors and disease risks. For example, to estimate the impact of salty diets, the researchers
looked at the evidence on urinary sodium levels and changes in blood pressure and then
estimated the relationship between those blood pressure changes and disease outcomes.

There were, not surprisingly, differences in the typical diet across world regions: People in
the United States and Canada tended to eat the most processed meats and trans fats from
packaged foods, for example. But consumption of sugary drinks and sodium was too high in
nearly all world regions, the researchers noted.

Meanwhile, healthy foods were short-changed almost universally, with a few exceptions:
People in Central Asia tended to eat enough vegetables, while those in parts of Latin
America, Africa and South Asia typically got plenty of legumes.

Overall, though, unbalanced diets were a health threat everywhere. Oceania and East Asia
had the highest proportion of "diet-related" deaths from heart disease, for example. Diet-
related deaths from type 2 diabetes complications were highest in the United States and
Canada.

The impact of diet was seen not only in death rates, but in quality of life, according to Afshin.
In 2017, poor diets were associated with 255 million disability-adjusted life years -- a summary of
overall life years lost, plus time lived with a disability. The findings were published April 3 in The
Lancet journal. But ideally, he noted, people shouldn't wait until diseases have developed.
