Question

which is an example of the consequences of unhealthy eating?

an adult female prevents bone loss by eating adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals

an active young adult is placed on medication to treat a sprained ankle

an obese young adult has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes

an adult male has surgery to treat a disease that his parent passed on to him

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option describes a positive outcome of healthy eating (preventing bone loss), so it's not a consequence of unhealthy eating.
• The second option involves a sprained ankle, which is an injury not related to unhealthy eating.
• The third option: Obesity, often caused by unhealthy eating, is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. So this is a consequence of unhealthy eating.
• The fourth option describes a hereditary disease, not related to eating habits.

Answer:

C. An obese young adult has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
