In some countries people's weight has significantly increased while their level of health have decreased. What do you think may be the causes of this problem? What solutions can you suggest to solve this problem?

In some parts of the world, there is an increase in the

number

of people that are overweight with associated poor

health

status.

This

essay will discuss the causes of

this

issue and propose solutions. One significant factor responsible for the rise in

obesity

and the pervasive poor

health

is the sedentary lifestyle of people today. Many people prefer to use automobiles rather than to walk or ride bicycles while there is a decline in

number

Suggestion

the number

of people that regularly exercise in some countries.

For instance

, a recent study by the Nigeria Medical Association identified the lack of exercise as responsible for more than half of the cases of

obesity

and cardiovascular diseases in the country.

As a result

of

this

passive lifestyle, there have been a general decrease in the level of

health

with a dramatic rise in

obesity

.

Furthermore

, there is an increase in the

number

of people that eat unhealthy meals. Meals

such

ad refined foods and fast foods contain a high level of calorie, sugar and salt that result in weight gain and deleterious

health

effects.

For example

, some people are admonished to eat homemade foods in order to combat

obesity

and coronary

health

disease.

Thus

, unhealthy foods have increased the

number

of obese people and it has

Suggestion

worsened

people's level of

health

. Fortunately,

however

, there are two promising solutions to

this

problem.

First

of all, people should be encouraged to be physically active.

This

can be done by providing sports facilities in schools and in major cities while efforts to ensure more people walk or ride bicycles to work should be promoted.

This

will help to control

this

problem.

Secondly

, people should be educated on the dangers of refined and fast foods. Classrooms, recreation

centers

an area that is approximately central within some larger region

centres

, the social and mass media are

avenue

Suggestion

a venue

for

this

education.

This

will make more people choose healthier diets. In conclusion, the rise in the weight with

associated decline

Suggestion

an associated decline

in the

health

of people in some countries is due to their passive lifestyle and their unhealthy dietary choices. I recommend that people should be enlightened on the dangers of unhealthy foods so that they can make better choices and they should be encouraged to be physically active.
