This work will go in-depth into the studies, researches, and most importantly solutions. We should all work together as a team, the government, the society, you and me to fight this phenomenon. It is very serious, and it affects your heart and leads finally to death. Being lazy, depending on cars, eating fast food is the main reason for obesity so you need to keep yourself away and practice your body regularly. will discuss if strategies such as taxing sugar drinks and food will reduce obesity if the government should raise the price of certain liquids that people drink because of the weight they gain from them.
Second, I will go through the problem of childhood obesity which is a very sad problem that spread on our society greatly. As a solution, I thought about the Suitable administration of obesity in children and that is likely to reduce the difficulties in childhood obesity and that by increasing physical education courses in schools in order to help restrain the current problem of childhood obesity. The third problem that happened to face our society especially in Saudi Arabia is the high price of the gyms’ memberships. People have enough excuses to not go to the gym so the companies should encourage them to be more active by giving them more discounts and reduce the price of the gyms’ memberships.
Introduction
There is a piece of surprising information mentioned by TIME magazine, said: ” The global obesity epidemic continues, and a new report shows that about two billion people worldwide are overweight or obese. That’s about 30% of the world’s population (Sifferlin, 2017). This is significant as obesity and poor fitness lead to a decrease in life longevity, and it is ;therefore, important for individuals and governments to work together to solve this issue and to improve their citizens’ diet and fitness.
WPT James said: “the recognition of obesity as a disease was in theory established in 1948 by WHO’s (World Health Organization) taking on the International Classification of Diseases” (2008). However, this organization (WHO) started its first consulting on Obesity in Geneva from 3 to 5 June 1997 (WHO, 2000). From this point they began their journey of preventing and managing the global epidemic.
The obesity phenomenon is the country’s most serious health issue. Most people are affected by it. You walk across the street and see half of the people are overweight. No matter where you are or where you look. This problem is internationally and everywhere. I have seen people suffer from this problem of different ages. All the world talks about it. It is really a serious problem, and we should be careful about its effects on our health, our future, and our lives.
There are some solutions that can fix this problem if they combined together with the efforts of the government and individuals to fight this phenomenon. Obesity and poor fitness decline life longevity. Consumption of ready food and dependence on the car causes an advance in obesity and a cutdown in the fitness level of the adult population. Overweight people are more exposed to serious illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes, which leads to death (Wilson, 2014).
It is acknowledged that formal exercise can lower the risk of heart disease and stroke, which means that the people who don’t practice regularly and have poor fitness levels are at a greater risk of surviving these problems. Since obesity is common and the government wants to help to reduce its effects on society, the government decides to raise the price of certain liquids that people drink because of the weight they gain from them. Also, they decide to double the tax of some of the drinks and food.
Childhood obesity is one of the most leading causes of concern in today’s world. This leading phenomenon is caused by many reasons like the ingestion of lots of fast foods, and people are enjoying a lazy life without doing anything, and that what causes obesity. Suitable administration of obesity in children is likely to reduce the difficulties in childhood obesity. So, schools must have some kind of physical education courses to help reduce the problem of childhood obesity.
Also, I suggest reducing the price of gyms’ memberships would be a great idea to encourage people to join. Therefore, the most effective solutions I prefer to start with are raising the price of sugar liquids and food, adding physical education courses, and reducing the price gyms.
