The growing number of overweight people is putting a strain on the health care system in an effort to deal with the health issues involved. Some people think that the best way to deal with this problem is to introduce more physical education lessons in the school curriculum. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There has been an increasing number of obese people

as well as

the cost of medical care for related diseases. Many believe that

exercise

in school

education

is the best preventive measure to solve

this

issue. I am partially in favour of

this

statement as there are multiple reasons to become obese and solutions for the problems.

Firstly

,

it is clear that

the reason why societies are suffering from putting on weight is because of lack of

exercise

. Physical

education

is one of the principal advantages of a decreasing proportion of overweight if pupils have a compulsory curriculum to do regular sports at school,

such

as ball games, marathons and gymnastics. The purpose of those exercises is fundamentally to help burn pupils’ energies, keep them fit and motivate them to do continuous physical activities outside of class work.

Moreover

, the younger age is better for obtaining and learning sports and correcting their habit, it is

therefore

, the chances are that the young will be more likely to do regular exercises throughout their life eventually,

as a result

,

this

prevents putting on the extra weight and

further

adverse health problems, and reduce the cost of the medical care system.

Secondly

, the causes of becoming obese are not only an insufficiency of

exercise

but

also

eating habits and a lack of health

education

. The modern young are regularly inclined to have junk food,

such

as fast food, fatty snacks and sugary drinks, as their parents are busy looking after their kids properly. It is obvious that those young generations need help to correct their daily diet practice and acquire basic knowledge of eating healthy food by providing a cooking class, counselling and appropriate learning opportunities in the school curriculum.

Therefore

, it is obvious that the combination of physical

exercise

and having a healthy diet is considerably effective in declining the number of obese and making students aware of being healthy for their lives. In conclusion, the cause of obesity is not only one and

also

there are a wide range of solutions for those issues. I believe that the integration of regular

exercise

, healthy eating habits and

education

are the best measurements for dealing with the prevention of being overweight.
