 and the foremost cause is sitting and

This
 is because those
people
 who either are working at the office or from home have to sit at
one
 place and do their work which drains them out and so they are discouraged to do any physical activity.
This
 inevitable lifestyle is giving them exertion but not exercise
thus
 making them overweight and keeping them at higher risk of having
health
 issues.
Secondly
, the availability of
food
 is so easy that anyone can satisfy their cravings at any moment as everything is
one

people
 who are already stressed, the ordered

 mostly has preservatives and is high in calories which can again hamper their

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
