Below is a problem-solution essay on the topic of obesity and poor fitness

INTRODUCTION

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. (HOOK WITH A SURPRISING FACT) 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. (THESIS STATEMENT)

BODY PARAGRAPH 1 (PROBLEM)

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.

BODY PARAGRAPH 2 (1ST SOLUTION)

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.

BODY PARAGRAPH 3 (2ND SOLUTION)

Governments could also implement initiatives to improve their citizens' eating and exercise habits.
This could be done through education, for example by adding classes to the curriculum about healthy
diet and lifestyles. Governments could also do more to encourage their citizens to walk or cycle
instead of taking the car, for instance by building more cycle lanes or increasing vehicle taxes. While
some might argue that increased taxes are a negative way to solve the problem, it is no different
from the high taxes imposed on cigarettes to reduce cigarette consumption.

CONCUSION

In short, obesity and poor fitness are a significant problem in modern life, leading to lower life
expectancy. Individuals and governments can work together to tackle this problem and so improve
diet and fitness. (SUMMARY STATEMENT) Of the solutions suggested, those made by individuals
themselves are likely to have more impact, though it is clear that a concerted effort with the
government is essential for success. With obesity levels in industrialized and industrializing countries
continuing to rise, it is essential that we take action now to deal with this problem. (FINAL THOUGHT)
