In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them.

In some countries, in recent years the mean
weight
of people has increased substantially and the scale of their
fitness
and
health
has continued to decrease. In
this
essay, I will discuss some of the causes of these problems and
also
suggest some solutions. One of the major problems of a decrease in
weight
is eating habits.
This
is because people no longer take into consideration their diet, the kinds of
food
that they eat.
For example
, people consuming
food
rich in fats will tend to increase in size that those consuming less fatty
food
. To solve
this
problem,
health
ministries along with national orientation agencies of these countries should embark on a nationwide public awareness campaign enlightening the masses on the need to take their diet seriously, and eat more of less fatty
food
. As a consequence, there will be an increase in
weight
loss among the population. One of the major causes of a decline in
health
and
fitness
is lack of regular exercise. The reason for
this
could be
as a result
of lack facilities or interest.
For instance
, a person might be interested in going to the
fitness
centre, but
such
places might not be readily available. As a consequence, the person is unable to participate in
fitness
activity.
Also
, certain individuals may generally not have interest due to lack of awareness and the
important
Suggestion
importance
of staying fit. To tackle these challenges, the government should establish more wellness centres, so that people could easily gain access to them. In conclusion,
although
there is currently some challenges in the
health
sector in some counties
such
as an increase in average
weight
and a decline in wellbeing, these problems are not insurmountable. In my view, it is the government’s responsibility to solve these issues using the solutions proposed above.
