Obesity is now a major global epidemic. What can be done to tackle this increasingly common problem?

It is, indeed, a widespread concern that a large proportion of people the world over is becoming obese.

is a serious socio-economic

problem

, and it is largely attributed to the modern lifestyle. Let us discuss some solutions to tackle

this

common issue. The

problem

of

obesity

food

. The excessive consumption of these

food

causes an unhealthy lifestyle and leads to damage to their body by inflating more unwanted fatty foods and calories content. It is evident that from the popularity of enormous

food

chain groups by MacDonald’s, Burger King and, so on. We can see a long queue in front of these restaurants. Mostly, children are fond of

this

junk

food

this

this

the public fitness park can be a beneficial solution. In conclusion,

obesity

is a big issue and by taking collective efforts from both individuals and the government the

problem

can reduce to a great extent.
