In some countries levels of health and fitness are decreasing and average weights are increasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what are some possible solutions?
A trend of decreasing
health
levels and an increase in average body mass can be seen in some nations. This
is mainly caused by the overconsumption of unhealthy food and also
the general lack of infrastructure that supports people
to exercise
, making it harder for people
to achieve a balanced and healthy lifestyle. This
can be solved by making healthy foods
, such
as fruits and vegetables, more affordable for people
to purchase, and also
creating pedestrian-friendly cities to make it easier for people
to passively exercise
.
Eating too many junk foods
and not exercising enough are the few causes of a bad quality of health
. In some countries
, the price of good quality and healthy ingredients is very expensive, which leads to people
eating instant foods
like processed meats, such
as sausages and nuggets, because of the cheaper price. These kinds of foods
are also
harder for your body to digest, increasing your body fat in an unhealthy way. Aside from that, exercise
also
plays a big part in keeping up your health
, and some countries
do not have the facilities that encourage people
to exercise
. By this
, I do not mean they need to provide free gyms, but something as simple as proper sidewalks to promote walking from place to place. Indonesia is one
of the countries
with the least amount of people
walking, and this
is mainly caused by the absence of infrastructure that supports pedestrians to be able to walk safely and comfortably.
Some possible solutions for the problems stated would be making healthy foods
more accessible for people
and also
providing the facilities for people
to be able to activity passively and comfortably. The first one
can be done by providing a special discount for fruits and vegetables, or even giving those foods
for free for the people
who do not have the money to afford them. As I stated previously, promoting exercise
to people
can be done by making it easier for people
to exercise
passively. This
can be done by making it more comfortable for people
to walk in cities. The Netherlands is one
of the countries
with the highest amount of people
walking, and this
is caused by infrastructure that supports pedestrians, such
as big and well-maintained sidewalks and crossroads.
In conclusion, two of the main reasons for the decline in health
are not eating healthy food and the lack of exercise
, which is mainly caused by the inaccessibility of the two things mentioned. To solve those problems, healthy foods
should be made more affordable, if not free, and an environment that supports people
to walk
, Change the verb form
walking
one
of the main passive exercises, should be built.Submitted by acupofbrownsugar
