26.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?

The average weight of

people

in some countries is increasing,

while

their physical fitness is decreasing. The reason for

this

problem will be explained in the following article, and I believe there are some practical solutions to fix it.

On the other hand

, there are several reasons why

people

gain weight. First and foremost, unhealthy eating is caused by various reasons

such

as long working hours and the high cost of preparing healthy

food

.

In other words

, since

people

now work more than 8 hours a day, they do not have extra time to cook at home and

therefore

do not eat homemade

food

.

Additionally

, healthy meals can be costly in certain countries as not everyone is able to afford them.

Therefore

, they prefer to eat cheap junk

food

.

Additionally

, nowadays,

due to

changes in

people

's preferences, the amount of exercise is decreasing.

For example

, they tend to commute by car

instead

of walking.

On the other hand

, both governments and individuals can solve

this

problem.

For example

, countries can impose a tax on junk

food

to decrease its consumption.

Additionally

, it can

also

subsidize the cost of healthy

food

.

In addition

, individuals should try making lifestyle changes to maintain physical fitness in different ways,

such

as incorporating walking into their daily routine, to compensate for the lack of adequate exercise. All in all, the increase in society's average weight results in a decrease in their health and fitness levels. In my opinion, increasing taxes on junk

food

, providing more subsidies for healthy foods, and promoting individual lifestyle changes can be considered solutions to

this

issue.
