Health Effects of the Inuit Diet
FDENG002 - Advanced English
6 Pages • Essays / Projects • Year Uploaded: 2021
To summarise, it is clear that the Inuit diet may be surprisingly beneficial to one's health. Due to the consumption of fresh, raw food, the nutrient content is significantly higher than the equivalent foods from a regular diet. Additionally, thanks to a process known as gluconeogenesis, which allows the conversion of protein to energy, the diet is actually capable of aiding weight loss. On the other hand, the Inuit diet far from perfect. The everpresent fear of constipation plagues those who wish to follow the diet as its lack of dietary fibre ensures that the passing of stools will be a difficult challenge. Furthermore, the high amounts of cholesterol found in the diet increase the chances of suffering from heart disease. Last but not least, there exists the hidden danger of osteoporosis caused by the loss of calcium from the bones due to the neutralisation of the acidic animal protein. In hindsight, this diet would be most useful to those who wish to adopt a diet that is low in carbohydrates but high in both protein and fat.
