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?

People

’s average weight in some countries is rising, and their body health is being declined. The reasons for

this

issue will be explained in the following essay.

However

, I believe that there are some practical solutions for solving it On the one hand, there are some causes for the increasing weight of

people

.

First

and foremost is an unhealthy diet because of work hours and the high cost of preparation of healthy

food

.

In other words

, today, individuals work more than 8 hours a day, so they do not have extra time for cooking at home and they do not eat homemade

food

.

Also

, a healthy meal in some countries is expensive as some

people

can't afford its cost.

As a result

, these

people

prefer to eat junk foods that have low prices.

In addition

, nowadays, the amount of exercise is decreasing because of changes in the preferences of

people

.

For example

, they tend to use cars for commuting

instead

of walking.

On the other hand

, governments and individuals can combat

this

issue.

For instance

, nations can set taxes on junk foods or impose subsidies on healthy

food

prices.

Furthermore

, individuals can try to change their lifestyle in order to keep their bodies healthy through different means

such

as set walking in their daily routine which can compensate extent for the lack of enough exercise. To sum up, a rising average weight among

people

leads to falling in their health and fitness level. In my view introducing taxes on junk

food

and imposing subsidiary on healthy

food

by governments, and changing

people

's lifestyles by them can be considered as measurements of

this

problem.
