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

In the course of the last hundred years, the average weight of people in some countries has increased perceptibly. Simultaneously, the levels of health and fitness of those people have worsened significantly. In this essay, I am going to discuss the primary reasons of this issue and give some solutions to them. Ċ To begin with, one of the principal reasons of increasing the weight of some people is sedentary lifestyle, which is mainly caused by the development of technology. For example, in earlier times, the sources of amusement were not in large numbers and all of them required physical presence. Therefore, people at that time were more active, energetic and as a result they achieved healthier state too. Ċ Nowadays, there are a vast numbers of entertainments such as the Web surfing, television, computer games, which don't necessitate physical activities. From my point of view, one of the salient solutions to this problem is to advertize widely the negative effects of sedentary lifestyle and prosecute explanatory works. Ċ Further and even more importantly, fast foods also have an immense impact on fatness. One must admit that we have benefited from them greatly, because of its compactness and time efficiency. But at the same time, fast foods are making us overweight day by day; as such foods are incredibly high in fat. For example, in the USA, many people suffer from fatness, which causes some serious ailments. Because they consume fast foods to excess in order to save time. In my opinion, restrictions are irrelevant in this case; therefore it would be better if every individual decides whether to consume them or not. Ċ The aforementioned evidences examine that the accurate advertisements of drawbacks of sedentary lifestyle and avoiding detrimental foods are the best solutions and the sources of progress.
