The amount of time spend on sport and exercise should be increased in schools in order to tackle the problem of overweight children? Do you think this is the best way to deal with the problem? What other solutions can you suggest?

Obesity has become one of the major

health

issues among

children

. Some people believe schools should increase the

time

duration of

sports

and

exercise

in order to reduce

this

problem

. In

this

essay, I will explain why

this

is one of the best ways to handle it and suggest another solution to overcome the

problem

.

To begin

with, compared to the past,

children

are more focused on academic studies than the recreational

activities

within the current education system. Due to the lack of

exercise

and other physical

activities

, obesity has become a colossal

problem

for youngsters nowadays. In order to alleviate the

problem

,

health

experts suggest that

children

should spend more

time

doing

sports

and

exercise

activities

in schools which I believe is a good solution.

For instance

, during school hours, it is more convenient to guide

children

to have

exercise

properly and involve them in

sports

, because these can be done as group

activities

rather than doing those individually. Even though it is incontrovertible that academic education is important, it is intuitively obvious that physical

health

is more important, so that increasing the

time

period to spend on those

activities

would help to deal with the overweight

problem

.

Furthermore

, though physical

activities

help to tackle these

health

issues, it is irrefutable that better

food

habits prevent people from getting overweight.

For example

, since most parents are working, they do not have

time

to prepare

food

at home, so that their kids are encouraged to get

food

from restaurants. These

food

contain excess fat and other artificial ingredients which cause several

health

problems

such

as obesity. Because of

this

reason, it is important that

children

should be given home-made clean and healthy

food

in order to ameliorate these problems. In summary, due to lack of physical

activities

and bad

food

habits, many teenagers suffer from

overweighting

this

problem

, some people believe that schools should increase the amount of

and

. In
