Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to comsume less sugar.

In the contemporary world concerns regarding health are rising

due to

the unhealthy habits of

people

, specifically with regard to their

food

habits and sedentary lifestyle.When considering their eating pattern ,they consume a lot of sugary products and it is known for centuries that it leads to many non-communicable diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure ,ultimately causing high morbidity and mortality rates throughout the world.

As a result

, many authorities have thoughts to increase the prices of sweets, even though I believe hiking prices will not address the issue alone as it needs better awareness among the general population. Most importantly,the world Carries the burden of an unhealthy population in many ways.When a country is lack of strong workforce,it will directly affect its economy,

hence

the future of everyone.

Food

and beverage with high levels of

sugar

create derangement in the normal physiology of a person risking their health and life.

For instance

, it has been identified by medical professionals, the number of

people

with diabetes is strikingly high in the South Asian region compared to the

last

century

likewise

, they have found consumption of

sugar

through

food

and beverages has shown exponential growth over the same period.

Besides

,

people

tend to eat

this

amount of

sugar

even without their conscious knowledge as they are hidden in those products directly not claimed as

sugar

. on one

hand

,it is agreeable that by increasing the price there will be a drop in buying those

items

but craving for

sugar

will drive

people

to purchase these

items

no matter the price.

On the other

hand

, their awareness regarding the

sugar

content of those products, the aftermath of consuming them and the benefits of avoiding these

items

have not been emphasized in society.So I suggest education regarding the aforementioned facts ought to go

hand

in

hand

with the price hike.

For example

, conducting a programme to display the hidden

sugar

content of

food

and beverages has reduced their consumption remarkably in Srilanka. In conclusion, it has been a devastating situation where

people

acquire non-communicable diseases

due to

their own habits of eating and drinking

items

with higher amounts of

sugar

.

However

,it is thought,making these

items

expensive can solve the issue ,I believe

in addition

to

this

measure public should be empowered with knowledge regarding the health problems that they are going to have and the advantages of limiting consumption.
