The growing nuber of overweight people is putting a strain on the health care system in an effort to deal with the health isssues 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?

Nowadays, the increasing

number

of overweight

people

has been an issue that we cannot ignore.

This

trend causes several problems

such

as putting a strain on the health care system. In response to

this

situation, some

people

state that we should introduce more physical education lessons at schools.

This

essay will take up

this

statement and give the author's opinion. First of all,

according to

research on the correlation between the

number

of overweight

people

in a specific area and the

number

of P.E. classes they had when they were students, we find that there is no correlation between those two elements, which means having more P.E. lessons in the school curriculum doesn't necessarily lead to the improvements of public health.

This

is because most

people

quit exercising after they graduate from their school.

Thus

, the most important thing is to change their ways of thinking about their eating habits. Just offering opportunities to exercise is not enough as a means of solving the health issue. In

this

sense, I strongly disagree with the statement. Rather, we should provide our young generations with chances they consider their eating habits,

such

as making their own menu for their dinner and teaching them how their diets influence their future body.

To sum up

, the growing

number

of overweight

people

is one of the serious problems that our society has been facing. As I mentioned above, just increasing the

number

of physical education classes at schools will never make the situation better. We need more opportunities that change students' minds toward their diets.
