The percentage of overweight children in western countries has increased by 20% in last 20 years. Discuss the causes and effects of disturbing trend.
In the
last
two decades,young people
from some countries tend to have weight over the normal limit.This
phenomenon has many causes and negative effects on people
and society.
Nowadays, with the appearance of the technology which allowed us to stay at home and to communicate or work, people
tend to become more sedentary and replace physical activity with online chatting.Although
this
is a normal evolution this
behaviour has many other causes such
as the limiting of free time, people
work too much and do not have free time for other activity like walking in park or jogging. Another good reason could be the consumption of junk food, this
type of food is very preferred by youngsters.In some cases,a very stressful life leads to obesity
because many people
tend to eat much when they are stressed by something.
In addition
to this
, many side effects appear.A person who is obese could become introverted, the confidence could disappear.Children tend to isolate themselves and consider them different from others.Because our society promotes a type of shape regarding our body, obese children suffer from depression or isolation.Obesity
not only affects our behaviour but can affect our health.Many diseases are caused by obesity
, such
as heart attack, high blood pressure, strokes.Although
the way how we look is our responsibility, the government should be more implicated by promoting a healthy way of life with advertising and special programmes for children and parents.
To conclude, I believe that this
trend of becoming overweigh is very popular and actual.Everyone should be implicated in this
fight against obesity
because this
affects not only our life but our society too.Submitted by mioara81.p on
