Obesity: A global Issue

Obesity is a prevalent issue around the world. According to the statistics from Brunei Times newspaper, USA got the highest percentage of obese people while Korea got the lowest. How about Brunei?? What do you think? Roughly Brunei is the 44th country which has a high percentage of obese people. Is it good or bad?? Think yourself if you are one of them.

This means that there are a lot of obese people around the world and it is so alarming. If we don't try to 'alleviate' it, this will create a bad circumstance. Thus certain authorities need to take an action including us. why do we have to reduce the number of people who are in obese problem? This is because obesity may create a lots of problems to people.

Obesity may cause diabetes mellitus. For example; people who are having this problem are rich in sugar in their body. Thus this problem is fatal and maybe lethal. High amount of sugar in our body may lead to fatigue, blindness, tiredness, etc. Apart fom that blood clotting is becoming slower and this is easy for the bacteria to get into the injured part of the body. Usually if the injured part is getting worse, it will be chopped off to prevent any worse things to occur.

The second problem is that obesity may cause the obese people to become hardly to move. For instance; If that people want to do any work, they prefer to do it at one place i.e they don't need to move to another place. This is because they feel heavy to 'bring' their body fom one place to another and they easily get tired. So to avoid that, they have to just stay at one place to do any tasks.

How can we solve this problem? One of the solutions is that to give a forum or lecture about the consequences of obesity. This lecture should be opened to the publics as to bring awareness to the people in country about how atrocious it is to be in obesity. Apart form that the lecture can also be held at school as nowadays parents tend to pamper their children to eat more unhealthy food like chocolates and other things that may cause obesity.

The second solution is that to carry out physical exercises once at least once a week at any appropriate places for the publics.
