Nowadays communities, all over the world, are experiencing an extending obesity problem in both streams: children and adults. The situation can get worse unless we try to mitigate the issue. In this essay I will show the causes and solutions to the best of my ability.
Junk food revolution is one of the reasons, that creating this trouble because of unhealthy ingredients it holds. They are calorically dense, highly flavored, and nutritionally barren. Fast foods typically contain extra corn syrup, sugar, artificial sweeteners, salt, coloring agents, and other potentially disease promoting chemicals. They are popular and effective enough to poison us but as it seem in perspective of advertisers it is not because they are continuing promoting it in different ways, although it is banned in most countries. Advertising fast food increases our desire to eat them. According to scientific research the child, who saw the advert of junk food, wants it more for 45% than the child who didn’t see. Another reason is sedentary lifestyle. In these years most people’s work become online or mental and children are playing video games instead of doing exercises or studying too much, sitting on one place for a long time without pause to exercises. Our body begins to gather energy in the form of fat if we don’t move our muscles. Lack of recreational healthy areas is another factor, contributing to sedentary lifestyle too.
Nonetheless there are several solutions to improve the case. First of all goverment should take care of healthy food or should replace junk food with healthy one. It can be expensive for poor people to buy fresh food but health is so vital that incomparable with money. Banning any kind of junk food-related advertisements can decrease the fast food consuming, instead they can and should teach how to prepare beneficial food from limited fresh ingredients. Doing so they can advance public’s health condition. Boosting physical activities or promoting them would be exciting and useful for battle against obesity. For example, hiking is one of the best options. If goverment establish equipment hiring for hiking for a few days, children and adults would probably use this chance and would go hiking and it would help them to be physically fit.
To sum up, the main reasons that lie under this problem are the lack of physical activities and junk food consumption. However, more physical activity foundation and fresh meal introduction can solve this problem step by step.
