In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of healt and fitness are decreasing. What do you think are the cause of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them? Give reasons for your answers and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Over the

last

few years, obesity has become a serious problem in some countries. Today, many

people

tend to be overweight and do not do any kind of sports, which leads to poor health. In my country, the issue is becoming worse and worse, and it is important to take steps to popularize a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition. One of the reasons so many

people

are obese is that they consume too much unhealthy

food

. Many

food

producers use sugar and other chemicals where it is not necessary just to cheapen the production process.

For example

, it has widely known that use palm oil in baking

instead

of natural butter. The solution is for government to regulate the rules of using unnatural ingredients in

food

. The result will be a higher quality of nourishment. Another problem is that fitness centres are too expensive to visit on a regular base. Many work long hours and cannot visit gyms any other time. As the result, they do not move enough at all. The solution is to decrease rent and taxes for fitness centres, in order, for them to drop prices in high time. A third cause of the problem is that

people

might not be well-educated on the subject.

For example

, a lot of families with small children can be seen in fast-

food

restaurants.

That is

how bad nutrition habits are created. To tackle the issue, it would great to educate children about nutrition and the positive effects of doing sports regularly.

Thus

, poor tradition will be stopped.

To sum up

, being overweight has become a real challenge in the modern world,

due to

reasons

such

as inferior quality of

food

, unaffordable fitness centres, and lack of knowledge of a healthy way of life.

This

is a significant complication, and unless society can deal with it, the health of the nation is in danger. My view is that the main responsibility for solving it lies with the government, educational authorities and

people

.
