Problem

Obesity is a big problem in our country. it is one of the biggest killers of people. It can cause diseases like diabetes, heart and internal organ problems. There are many obvious ways to help prevent obesity. You can stay physically healthy by playing sports, walking or jogging or by playing actively. You should always play at least 60 minutes per day to stay physically fit.when you play, your heart gets stronger and that will help you stay healthy. By extending recess to 1 hour it will help children get most of the play time that they need. Giving less homework would also help kids to get outside to play before it gets dark. This would help kids make it to the 60 minutes of play goal.

You also need to eat healthily. If you eat healthy you get the vitamins, minerals and protein that your body needs. Although cafeterias say that they serve healthy food some of their food is very fattening and greasy. By bringing your own lunch from home and having parents monitor the foods in the lunch we might all eat more healthily. Making good food choices is also important. Salad or lots of fruits and vegetables with every meal is necessary. Being responsible for our own health is not always easy. Bad things taste good. But by making good food choices most of the time, it is okay to have the bad stuff sometimes too.
