Obesity
has been increasingly becoming one of the top health problems among
people
. In
this
essay, I will discuss some of the major reasons for overweight including an unhealthy
lifestyle
and lack of physical activity.
Also
, in
this
essay, I will discuss some measures that will address these problems
such
as having an active
lifestyle
and a healthy diet.
Morbid
obesity
has been a big concern among individuals nowadays.
Firstly
, one of the causes is an unhealthy
lifestyle
. Whereas some
people
have been too busy with their work or activities that they haven't had time to exercise or haven't been active anymore. Like in the Philippines where the weather is hot,
people
don’t want to walk under the sun because it’s too hot or humid and they don’t want to sweat while
others
are just too lazy to walk.
Secondly
,
people
have been indulging in unhealthy
foods
.
For instance
, here in the Philippines, Filipinos love to eat food, they go-to all you can eat buffet restaurants where
foods
are mostly w/ saturated fats.
Also
, many food stalls have been offering milkshakes and fancy beverages which contain saturated sweets and preservatives while
others
have been offering fried
foods
which contain saturated fats. Overall, these inactive
lifestyle
and poor eating habits are just some factors that are contributing to an overweight problem which could lead to chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension etc.
Though, some
people
care for their health and have been living a healthy
lifestyle
. By having an active
lifestyle
,
people
can lose weight by burning extra calories when one is having exercises or just walking. While
others
can enrol in strenuous exercises or aerobics or dancing classes.
Furthermore
, some individuals are now very careful about what they eat whereas
others
chose to become vegan.
For instance
, organics
foods
are becoming popular among
people
. These
foods
are chemical-free and good for health. Overall, staying healthy is oneway of preventing
obesity
and other diseases.
In summary, morbid
obesity
is becoming widespread in society.
This
essay discussed the reasons that led to the increasingly overweight issue
such
as inactive
lifestyle
and unhealthy diet and the measures needed to address these problems
such
as having an active
lifestyle
and eating healthy food. In my opinion, the major contributing factors to
this
condition is inactivity and an unhealthy
lifestyle
and if
this
will not be solved it will lead to a bigger problem.
