In today’s generation obesity and overweight are more widespread in comparison to previous generations. This essay will look at the reasons for this and propose some solutions.
Firstly, from my perspective, the first and main cause of this problem is the development of technology. Because in previous years, children were playing and running with their friends in the yard, and so, they lost weight. This prevented obesity and overweight. But nowadays, the majority of children prefer to spend their free time watching telephones, TV, computers and this leads to a lack of movement and other serious disease. Furthermore, l see another reason in their overuse of packaged food. From my point of view, youth of today use packaged food more than a generation ago. This is one of the basic reasons that lead to obesity and overweight.
In addition, there are various solutions. For me, the primary cause of this is parents. Because now all adults buy smartphones for their childiren, and this hinders that children from spending time playing with their friends in the yard. So, l mean that parents should not buy smartphones for their children until they grow up. l think another cause is that parents do not allow their children to go outside. Because some adults are anxious and the child is forced to stay at home and spend time watching telephone etc. l mean parents must not be anxious and let them go outside. And nowadays, a lot of young people are also suffering from obesity and overweight. For me, one of the reasons is hookah. Because it makes the person swell.
To sum up, if people face obesity and overweight when they were children, it is so difficult to remove it later. However, there are solutions. Therefore, people should be careful and pay attention to their lifestyle from their childhood.
