Due to the growing number of overweight people in today's society putting strain on healthcare system, some people think that the best way to deal with this problem is to offer more physical education lessons in school curriculum. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Obesity has become a huge concern as an increasing percentage of the population have become overweight and

authorities, leading to increased costs. One solution

that is

being implemented is the introduction of more sports lessons in the school curriculum. In my opinion, I strongly agree that the integration of

Secondly

this

essay will discuss, the importance of combining

with a healthy

. On the one hand, I believe that the best way to fight health care problems is by utilising health education. By integrating physical education classes into the curriculum, impressionable young children and adults will be exposed to healthy

lifestyle

practices of sport and

exercise

, whereas they will

also

learn about teamwork and see their self-confidence grow.

For example

, at Westminster primary school in the UK, 10-minute

exercise

intervals were introduced between classes. The children must run laps around the playground before going to their

next

lesson.

This

formed part of a study by Cambridge University, where it reported that 85% of the children performed better on tests and obesity records were at an all-time low.

On the other hand

, in my view having more physical education classes in the curriculum is not the only way to teach young people how to have a healthy

lifestyle

. The children should be educated how to balance

exercise

with a healthy

diet

, so that

this

could extend, not only to the students in the schools but

also

to the parents.

For instance

, the NHS in the UK

regularly hold

regularly holds

talks in schools for both parents and students to educate communities on how to have a balanced

diet

. They

also

promote proper

exercise

, involvement in sports, and having an active

lifestyle

.

As a result

of

this

program, in some areas, they saw a decrease in the number of overweight health issues. In conclusion, I strongly agree that having more sports lessons in schools will help to fight the growing number of overweight people. By combining

this

with a healthy

diet

, the students will be encouraged to be healthy, from a young age, right through into adulthood.
