High consumption of
sugar
causes serious issues like diabetes nowadays. In order to restrict
such
kinds of health hazards, few people think that the government should take measures to restrict a person’s
sugar
intake, whereas the rest of them argue that, it is our self-exercise to
control
the level of the
sugar
in our daily routine. Even though both the sides seem relevant, I would like to agree with the fact that the change should
first
start with the individual.
The
food
and nutrition department, which is solely functional for the society's health, can play a great role in restricting the amount of
sugar
we eat. The reason behind the
saidexperiencing or showing sorrow or unhappiness
fact is, only the government has the authority to
control
the quality, ingredients, etc., of the
food
,
that is
sold outdoors.
Hence
, when a
food
product or a brand, which has high amounts of
sugar
in its
food
, is banned or penalized, people will understand the serious impact which
sugar
causes to our bodies. Consider the verdict of Maggi noodles ban in India. The Times magazine revealed that, the sales of all noodles, irrespective of the brand, went down by 90% in India, because of
this
restriction by the Indian administration.
However
, the rules and regulations imposed by the governing body cannot bring about the change, until and unless the common man has the determination to
control
his
sugar
intake.
Though the government has the authority to
control
the amount of sugars in
food
sold in restaurants, hotels,
etccontinuing in the same way
, what goes into the body of an individual can be controlled only by him \ her.
Moreover
, a person must have the grit to
control
the levels of
sugar
in his
food
, so that he can prevent health issues in future. A recent survey says that, 70% of healthy adults do not follow dieticians nor gym instructors, but still they are able to follow a healthy lifestyle.
This
survey is the best example to prove my point.
I would like to conclude by stating that, it is the duty of the administering body to reduce the
sugar
consumption, since it has the rights to lay down the restriction on
sugar
levels in
food
products. But it is the common man's
resposibilitythe social force that binds you to the courses of action demanded by that force
to adapt to the regulations and put the same into practice in his daily life.
