All over the world, societies are facing a growing problem with obesity. This problem affects both adults and children. What are the reasons and what can be done?

These days, there is an alarming rate of

people

gaining extra weight around the globe. The drawbacks of

this

trend to

children

and

adults

are by no means negligible. The root cause of

this

inclination can be traced to the popularity of fast

foods

and the modern lifestyle. To curb

this

issue, some influential courses of action should be applied by both authorities and

people

. Two main reasons can be attributed to why both

leads to gaining extra weight as they are rich in fat.

Secondly

such

as buses, trains, planes, and so forth, the physical activity of

people

has declined dramatically. To be more specific, most

adults

often drive to work and

children

commute to school by bus. In

this

case, fewer calories are burnt. Several preventative measures should be implemented to combat the rising rate of obesity among

adults

and

children

.

To begin

with, authorities should raise public awareness about the negative repercussions of overconsumption of fast

foods

through popular social platforms, like Instagram, and Telegram. Since many access these means of communication, the news would spread quickly. If

people

knew that they soar the possibility of stroke, obesity and high blood pressure by eating fast

foods

they would not eat them in advance or they would reduce their consumption.

should use bicycles for commuting as

means of transportation helps them to burn more calories as well as keeps them fit. In conclusion, a sedentary lifestyle and overconsumption of fast food are the major reasons for the growing number of obese

people

around the world.

However

, these problems can be dealt with if

people

increase their daily physical activity and are informed of the dangers of eating too much junk food.
