Question: In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?

In many nations, people are gaining more weight than before which cause them to be unhealthy and lack of fitness nowadays. There are a number of reasons for this but several measures can be taken to alleviate these problems.


There are several factors contributing to these problem. One of the factors is people nowadays do not lead an active lifestyle. They do not exercise when they should as they do not think exercise should be their main priority. They would rather rest at home instead of spending times for outdoor activities. By the way, busy schedule and stressful lifestyle due to work have given them the excuses to avoid exercise. Another cause is that people do not eat a healthy diet as they tend to eat processed food. This is because processed food are a popular choice of diet due to busyness. As a result, people have neglected the harms of the processed food might caused. Hence, overweight is expected which would lead to multiple health problems and decrease in fitness level.


Since these problems have become a major concern around the world, measures should be taken to tackle this issue. In the first place, government should organize more campaign to increase public awareness in healthy eating and active lifestyle. Government should take advantage of the advancement of technology to advertise more about ways to increase one’s physical fitness and educate public in healthy eating. In addition, schools should also play a part in educating the children on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle since young. By doing this, they will learnt and practice the correct way to eat and exercise.
