Recently a high percentage of sugar is found in products made by most of food industry companies. A suggestion to reduce the consumption of these products was proposed. which is increasing their prices.. I totally agree with this suggestion as it’s an effective way to produce a real change. And it will affect people’s health in a positive way.
The attempt to change behaviors in communities often starts by working on different important areas. One of which is nake it more difficult to do in the first place. Sugar consumption restrictions can be applied on how and for how much sugar is available. If an intervention is made here, definitely a reduction in its consumption will be observed. This method of making products more expensive or adding taxes has proven its effectiveness in other industries. For instance in UK an increase in prices of cigarettes was applied. According to many reports this helped in decreasing the number of smokers.
The positive impact of minimizing sugar in our diet is a scientific fact. Firstly, sugary foods increases an individual’s weight which directly affects their fitness and general health. for example obesity is a main risk factor of many heart conditions. Secondly, it decreases the possibility of getting diabetes . which is a disease of increased level of glucose in the bloodstream. Doctors advice patients to watch the amount of sugar consumed per day to prevent themselves from this disease. and lastly, sugar has a direct effect on our teeth. It causes stains and more importantly it causes tooth decay or dental caries.
In conclusion, rising the prices of sugary products is a great proposal in my opinion. and I fully support it. Because this method of intervention directly worls on one of the roots of the problem of high consumption of sugar. as well as its results will make our communities healthier and more free of serious diseases.
