In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing.
What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them.

In some countries, the average weight of people of increasing, that is, many people tend to be fat. This is because people are not living healthy lives and do not exercise.
I suppose that the main cause of being fat is lack of exercises. A lot of people always commute by trains or their cars. Some people do physical work, but some workers and most students keep sitting almost all day. Although they get tired mentally, they do not use much physical work. Also, those who do housework usually stay home. Some mothers in Japan ride bikes when they go shopping. However, they will drive a car or use public transport if they want to go far for shopping or have something to do. For all types of work, they use their car or public transportation.
In the current age, many people try to save time by all means. For instance, they use their car in order to reduce their commuting time or traveling time for shopping. As a result, those people barely have time to do exercise due to their work, housework, or assignments.
It may be hard to try to do exercise even in spare time. However, I think there are some solutions to consume more calories without even exercising. For example, I try to not to use elevators or not to sit down when taking a train, go to school by bicycle often.
Though it takes little more time, it is good for health and we do not need to spend much time exercising.

Mmm… It may be interesting to write about drinking some tea as a solution of the problem, I guess.
