Which of the following is the least likely to cause obesity in humans?

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: (d) Over consumption of green vegetables

• Green vegetables are low in calories and fats, and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

• Even when consumed in large quantities, they are least likely to contribute to obesity.

• They often aid in weight management and improving metabolic health.

• Why green vegetables don’t cause obesity:

  1. Low in energy density (few calories per gram).

  2. High fiber content promotes satiety and reduces overeating.

  3. Packed with nutrients that support digestion and metabolism.

  4. Often included in weight-loss and balanced diet plans.

• Sedentary lifestyle:

  • Lack of physical activity leads to reduced calorie burning, contributing to fat accumulation.

• Over consumption of fat:

  • High-fat diets, especially with unhealthy fats, are calorie-dense and can lead to weight gain.

• Genetic Traits:

  • Genetics influence metabolism, fat storage, and appetite, playing a role in predisposition to obesity.
