In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing,. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?

The
problem
mentioned is not just limited to some countries but it can
also
be considered as global
problem
which is increasing like pandemic. There are many reasons for
this
problem
which we can say is most of them generated by humans themselves and some numbers linked to people’s heredity or we can say genetic mutations over the generations because of external factors like
food
, pollution or radiations.
This
topic itself is very vast subject but let us discuss some common reasons for the same. There is a saying that across the glob more people die because of excess
food
rather than starvation.
Food
Habit and
Life
style: 1.In today’s fast
life
healthy
food
is something many people are forgetting and they are switching more to processed
food
, junk
food
and many types of frozen foods, which ultimately does not suit to our
body
and
causes
gradual damage to our system and
this
causes
increasing unhealthy
weight
of
body
and many times it leads to obesity. 2.
Further
, in many of the metro cities where a big number of population is doing Desk job they are not at all doing any physical work out but their
food
intake remains more than required and which include junk
food
also
ultimately takes toll on
body
and
causes
increase of unhealthy fat and ultimately results in to increasing the
weight
of
overall
body
.
This
is one of the
life
styles which
causes
increasing the
weight
of the
body
. 3.Pollution is
also
one of the factors which is causing
overall
weight
increase of peoples indirectly. Because of pollution our
food
also
gets polluted and which is when consumed by us
causes
ill effect on our various organs which again effects
overall
efficiency of our digestion system and metabolism and in turn which increase unnecessary fat and bad cholesterol. Measures to be taken: 1.As
this
problem
is generated by us, so solution is
also
within us only. 2.We should try to follow disciplined
life
and try to consume as natural as possible. 3.Try to avoid junk
food
and fast
food
. 4.Do regular exercise and always take a sun bath regularly. 5.Try to avoid stress and live a balanced
life
.
