Food
Consumption of processed and convenience foods and our
dependence on the car have led to an increase in obesity and
reduction in the fitness level of the adult population. In some
countries, especially industrialized ones, the number of obese
people can amount to one third of the population. This is significant
as obesity and poor fitness lead to a decrease in life expectancy, and
it is therefore important for individuals and governments to work
together to tackle this issue and improve their citizens' diet and
fitness.

Obesity and poor fitness decrease life expectancy. Overweight


people are more likely to have serious illnesses such as diabetes and
heart disease, which can result in premature death. It is well known
that regular exercise can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke,
which means that those with poor fitness levels are at an increased
risk of suffering from those problems.

Changes by individuals to their diet and their physical activity can


increase life expectancy. There is a reliance today on the
consumption of processed foods, which have a high fat and sugar
content. By preparing their own foods, and consuming more fruit
and vegetables, people could ensure that their diets are healthier
and more balanced, which could lead to a reduction in obesity
levels. In order to improve fitness levels, people could choose to
walk or cycle to work or to the shops rather than taking the car.
They could also choose to walk up stairs instead of taking the lift.
These simple changes could lead to a significant improvement in
fitness levels.
