obesity

is one of these problems.

This

issue may lead to adverse ramifications.

essay will discuss both the reasons for the phenomenon and suggested solutions. First of all, the main reason for the increase in the rate of

obesity

is that the lifestyle of young people has changed in the

last

10 years. To illustrate

this

children

prefer fast

food

, which contains a high amount of fat and salt that leads to being overweight.

food

like burgers and pizza, and he weighs 70 kg. Another reason for

this

is that young

children

spend their time playing video games.

children

eat. They may prepare

food

in an air fryer to reduce the fat. Not only that, the government can encourage schoolchildren to do sports by building sports clubs at school.

Thus

,

children

can be more active, and that can reduce

obesity

. In conclusion,

obesity

can be fought by changing

children

's lifestyles. We all have the responsibility to solve
