   <abstract>Our modern culture in our society is facing one of the biggest risks in health which is high-calorie diet-related postprandial inflammation. Chronic diseases may be
caused if the energy-dense food is the choice meaning if it is uncontrolled, clinical 
studies have demonstrated this with the body's post-meal inflammatory response. We 
aimed to find the causes of postprandial inflammation in response to various dietary 
treatments and provide a model to demonstrate. We aimed to make use of in vivo and in 
vitro techniques and statistics to create a model. The created model would help us to 
design specific treatments to minimize inflammation with response to dietary. In addition 
to figuring out vital dietary additives, the model additionally facilitates the layout of 
individualized interventions to reduce inflammation, thereby improving long-time period 
health outcomes. We aim to understand the clinical observations of diet-induced 
postprandial inflammation on the molecular level. We desire to make contributions to 
reduce the impact of chronic inflammatory disorders that is associated with postprandial 
inflammation.
