All over the world societies are facing growing problem with obesity. This problem affects both children and adult. What are the reason for this rise in obesity? How could it be tackled?

There is no doubt that

obesity

is becoming a severe issue around the world.

This

illness has a harmful effect on both children and adults.

This

essay will explain the root and the measures we should take to remedy

this

problem.

To begin

with the reasons,

although

there are several roots to cause

obesity

, the most significant one is a change of diet.

People

tend to eat more fatty food compared to the past.

For example

,

whereas

, 50 years ago, fish and rice were the main dishes in Japan, now we enjoy a wide range of cuisines which contain more fatty ingredients and calories. Research recently conducted by the Ministry of Health in Japan discovered that about half of middle-aged

people

eat too much more than they need, which causes some physical problems, high blood pressure and

obesity

,

for instance

.

This

trend

also

has a critical impact on children, since they eat the same meals as their parents.

As a result

, the number of obese

people

between adult and younger generations is rising in Japan.

However

, I believe that by changing individuals' attention to their diet, we can alleviate

this

problem. The most beneficial way is to learn a practical eating order.

According to

an article by Nikkei newspaper, there is a clear difference in preserving calories, whether eating vegetables first or not. If

people

change their eating way and eat vegetables fast, they can reduce 20% of the total consumption of their meals.

This

measure can allow

people

to avoid eating too much and the total intake of calories will reduce naturally. In conclusion,

although

there are many causes of to rise

obesity

rate, we should tackle

this

problem through a change of human attention.
