I am going to discuss, one of the major global problem.According to the statistics, "one fifth of the world population is over-weight
". It means more than billion people are over-weight.The ratio of over-weight in developed countries are more than underdeveloped countries.
There are two main factors which is the cause of obesity.Heredity and eating habits.In heredity factor obesity is hired from parents.The second factor-which is my main subject- is eating habits.People do not know how much food they need, they just eat and eat.They don't know how much calories they need.Due to ignorance they take more calories and burn less, as a result they become over-weight.
Chart is easy available from the book stores, or one can down load easily from the internet.The chart shows proper diet plan according to age and height.It also shows no of calories in different meals.Its very easy to follow the chart.
So many governments have been spending billions of dollars on health insurance policies and plans.I think government should teach their people about healthy diet from primary level.It should be necessary subject for all students, as a result it will cause awareness among people, and thus will save millions of dollars on medicine and insurance.
Everyone should do exercise regularly, according to age.Like walking, jogging, swimming ect. Most people say that, "they have no time." I wonder, for their health, "they have no time." So please be careful about your diet, because "health is wealth".
