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? What measures could be taken to solve them?
At present, lifestyles of
people
have changed from the way they used to be, especially in the way people
consume food
. Someone once said that you are what you eat. For example
, if you eat a low nutritional diet
, you will have poor health
. Consequently
, this
leads to weight gain and serious diseases. This
essay will discuss the consequences of having a poor diet
and provide ways to solve these problems.
Most people
tend to have more responsibilities and less free time
. Thus
, people
tend to eat more fast food
since it is more convenient, affordable, and accessible to them. In addition
, fast food
contains high sugary contents, which could lead to serious health
diseases such
as obesity and diabetes. Furthermore
, healthy food
is more expensive than fast food
. It also
takes a longer time
to process, and it might be difficult to find healthy restaurants in some areas. Moreover
, people
tend to exercise less because the gym is not accessible in all areas. In addition
, some people
spend most of their time
studying and working instead
. Therefore
, they would have no time
to do exercise.
Considering measures to solve these problems, the tax on fast food
and sugar should be increased in order to reduce the rate of consumption. Moreover
, the local authorities should improve public facilities for exercising such
as public gyms, parks, footpaths, and bike lanes. This
could motivate people
to exercise more frequently. Furthermore
, they should also
launch campaigns to raise awareness of a healthy diet
in order to make people
be more aware of their health
.
To conclude, the cause of weight gain and decreased health
and fitness level are eating more fast food
and exercising less. However
, these problems could be solved by increasing fast food
and sugar tax, improving public facilities for exercising, and launching campaigns to raise awareness of a healthy diet
