Dealing with Obesity
Obesity is not a new term in society. A while ago it was associated with a small percentage of the population, but today, it is affecting even babies. Weight issues are directly related to lifestyle and diet. In this era of technology, people have grown lazy. Children no longer play in the playground because computer games and TV programs are cool. Adults on the, on the other hand, are too lazy to walk and take the stairs because technology has offered a shortcut to everything.
When lazy habits are combined with poor eating habits, the result is a sick society. Terminal illnesses like diabetes, blood pressure, and obesity are the order of the day. Technology is good, we cannot live without it, but it should be used wisely not to harm the important parts of our bodies. Below are some ways on how to deal with obesity.
