Obesity

Obesity is a real problem which is affecting nowadays a lot of people in many countries, especially in the American ones. 

The reason why it exists and why it is becoming more and more serious every day is because people now have got used to stay at home, lying on the sofa, watching TV or playing video games. Furthermore, while they are practising these activities, they usually have a snack or something to eat because it is true that spending a whole afternoon playing video games is quite long so you need to eat something.

Moreover, people have given up doing sports. Some time ago, we used to go outside for a walk, we met our friends to go shopping and we went on foot, etc. However, nowadays everything is very different mainly because of technology; people use cars to go everywhere, although this place is really near their home. Moreover, nowadays there are online shops, and people needn't go outside to buy something. In fact, they only have to click and the product they want arrives to their home just in a few days.

Child obesity is the most worrying problem of all this issues. That is a really serious problem because if a child suffers from obesity since he is very young, he or she can have a lot of illnesses and serious problems in a future. Some time ago, children used to go out with their friends to a park and play football or any other sport, but nowadays we have the problem that videogames exist, and they are the main cause why children are becoming more and more fat.

Overall, we have to be careful with the activities we practise every day, and try to go for a walk everyday just for 20 minutes, or going shopping instead of shopping online. With this few things, we can do a lot.
