Argument in Action Worksheet Obesity is one of the major health problems and has become a challenge for the United States over the decades. It is no news to anyone that the United State of American is the land of "fast food" and the facilities that exist here for this type of "food" are absurdly gigantic, not only in the price factor itself, but also in the quantity factor. In the United State of American you do not walk so far (in the major regions) without observing some known fast food chain. That is, so much supply, with affordable prices, and the idea of "time is money", make obesity rates high, in reality the macro of the country itself. Perhaps not only for its own sake, but also for the United State of American tradition of eating badly. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than a third of the adult American population (about 36.5%) of the United State of American adults have obesity. Then we are not talking about people who are overweight or out of shape. We are talking about people who are weighing much above the ideal and already suffer serious consequences due to this problem. Running life makes it harder to plan meals and make healthy feeds. For many, it is easier to buy ready meals and eat out. There is no "lunch time", once in some companies people receive money by working per hour and when people have lunch, it's just for a few minutes and nothing more. Hence, is easy to see that it is very complicated even to have a moment for yourself or even together in family. That may seem silly, but that is one of the points that, according to anthropological studies indicate, made obesity rates in the United State of American out of control. Poor diet isn't the only cause of excess weight. Failing to get enough physical activity is a contributing factor. Historically, people have led physically strenuous lives. Today, with modern conveniences, many Americans are much more sedentary than their ancestors. Not burning off excess calories through exercise can lead to weight gain. There are also other causes that can lead to obesity, or simply to excess weight, such as: hyperthyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, excess of alcohol, depression or exhaustion or certain neurological problems that lead the person to change their life completely. There are even some medications that have as side effects gain some weight even without changing your type of diet or amount. Obesity leads some health problems that stem from obesity as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, several types of cancer, stroke and high cholesterol. Obesity needs to be addressed by individuals, communities and government. Prevention is the key to everything in health. Recognizing the symptoms before a problem becomes serious is what prevention is all about. There are several ways, individual, local and state organizations can create a supportive environment to promote healthy living behaviors that prevent obesity. As Individual solution, substitution of healthy foods for industrialized foods rich in fat and sugar is said to be one of the great causes of obesity. For many, food re-education, incorporating natural and low-calorie foods consumed in small quantities, is the best solution to end obesity. Another positive initiative, is to charge refrigerants and caloric foods to reduce their consumption. Several scientific studies have found that the amount of sugar Americans consume is one of the main factors responsible for obesity in the country. And studies indicate that the main culprit for both the rise in sugar and the weight of Americans has been the increasing consumption of sugary drinks, especially soft drinks. Modernity and technology have also made men more sedentary. The lack of physical activity contributes to the accumulation of fat in the body and to the onset of diseases. In addition to not smoking, exercise is the best thing for you to stay healthy and to prevent chronic diseases. 30 minutes of daily exercise can be very beneficial. But it is suggested that exercising at least three times a week already helps avoid serious problems in the future. Since exercise burns calories, the main question of who tries to lose weight should be: As Community Solutions, the burden of solving the obesity problem has largely fallen on individuals. To reverse the obesity epidemic, community efforts should focus on supporting healthy eating and active living in a variety of settings. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recommends that communities make fresh fruit and vegetable stands available at workplaces instead of vending machines carrying high-fat, empty-calories snacks. Another one, is connect schools with local farms, which supply fresh produce for the school menu or stock cafeteria salad bars. In another study, raising the price of higher-fat cafeteria options boosted sales of more nutritious items. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also suggests communities improve outdoor recreational areas. As Government Solutions, too, must get involved in solving the obesity problem. Some of the policy changes they recommend include requiring that calorie, fat and sugar content be clearly marked on snacks sold in movie theaters and school; creating an incentive program to encourage those who receive food stamps to use them for healthy food choices; and providing more funding to communities for physical recreation centers and bicycle paths. Launched in 2010, First Lady Michelle Obama's national initiative, "Let's Move," recommends that local municipalities take actions such as forming a committee to investigate the barriers to healthful eating in the city or town, and offering incentives to stores to stock healthier food and drink choices, especially in underserved areas. To help fight the battle against obesity, the food industry must team up with the government, academia, and the medical community to help inform consumers, strengthen nutrition education, and develop healthier product choices. Giving consumers the best nutrition information and the best nutritional food options may empower them to make individualized lifestyle changes that will help overcome energy imbalance and, in the long term, may help curb our struggle with obesity.
