In many countries today, the eating habits and lifestyles of children are different from those of previous generations. Some people say this has had a negative effect on their health. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

The ways of how children eat and live are said to be so different from those of their ancestors, which made a negative impact on their
health
. I entirely agree with
this
opinion and
this
essay aim is to support
this
idea
To begin
with, the former generations used to eat a lot of vegetables and
also
know how to balance the nutrition in their meals.
Therefore
, the previous generations were really healthy due to their healthy diet.
However
, kids these days are not the same as
theirs
of them or themselves
their
ancestors. They eat a lot of meats and don’t eat
vegatables
edible seeds or roots or stems or leaves or bulbs or tubers or nonsweet fruits of any of numerous herbaceous plant
vegetables
.
Also
, the food they eat are high in salt, sugar and fat, which are really harmful for their
health
.
Furthermore
, the previous
genenerations
all the people living at the same time or of approximately the same age
generation
had to walk to school
everyday
Suggestion
every day
, which made their body active.
Consequently
, they all did exercises.
Also
, our ancestors weren’t obsessed with homework, exams so they all had time to relax after studying. These days, children have a very strict studying plan that make them studying really hard
day
after
day
.
As a result
, they have no time no do exercises which do harm to their
health
.
In addition
, kids have to face up with noise, pollution when going outside. Fresh air is no longer seen in the modern world. Facing up with these things, their
health
will definitely be damaged
day
after
day
All in all,
children
Suggestion
child's
lifestyle and eating habits have been changed really much compared to the previous generations.
This
problem, in my opinion, can only be solved by encouraging children to return to move traditional ways of eating and living.
