In some countries, the average weight of people is increasing, and their level of health and fitness is decreasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?
People
in many countries are facing average weight gain and declining health
and fitness level. The main reasons for this
happening are due to
lack of time for cooking and physical activities
and there are corrective measures the government body can take to promote a healthy lifestyle.
People
these days are struggling to meet expectations for their personal life and career. Consequently
, they have very little time for cooking for their family and depend on instant meals
and restaurant foods. As readymade meals
contain preservatives and additives, it’s very detrimental to our health
. Similarly
, most restaurant foods are not catered for our liking and the cook probably uses substandard oil, lots of sodium, and MSG. Lots of health
surveys prove that people
who eat outside and instant meals
tend to have health
issues such
as obesity, heart disease and diabetes more than those who aren’t. Also
, most people
don’t have enough time to do physical workouts and their day is occupied with their careers and daily commuting to and from work.
Government can do many things to promote a healthy living style for its citizen. For example
, they can impose a heavier tax on instant and readymade foods to discourage people
from overconsuming and do healthy eating awareness campaigns through social media platforms. Also
, health
authorities should provide guidelines on cleanliness and healthy meals
and closely monitor their meals
to make sure the ingredients are up to standard. For physical activities
, local authorities and town councils should provide public spaces for exercising and walking and encourage residents to participate in sports activities
.
To conclude
, unhealthy eating styles and lack of physical activities
contribute to average weight gain and the government can take a few steps to promote a healthy living style that led to a happy and healthy life for its citizen.Submitted by myothwekhine on
