Eating a balanced diet is the most important factor for a healthy life. To what extent do you agree?
A balanced diet is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. I do agree with this perspective though it is controversial.

For instance, different vitamins and minerals could be found in fruits and such healthy foods. Moreover, some junk food and greasy foods could bring about enormous diseases or cancers. To exemplify, feeding on fried foods would clog the vessels which is really dangerous and could cause cardiovascular diseases in the long run.

Line 6: Technically speaking, we say liquids, especially blood, clot. It’s better to substitute ‘clog’ for ‘clot’.
Thank you for your correction but I used “clog” as a verb (obstruct)
You are right. I thought you were referring to blood vessels being clotted due to high cholesterol, which causes cardiovascular diseases.
