In an era characterized by unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles, it has become increasingly common for individuals to suffer from obesity, particularly in wealthy nations. While there are clear reasons for this issue, I believe that individuals can take several measures to combat it.

The increase in obesity rates can be attributed to a variety of factors. With the intensification of competition in the international job market, along with rising living expenses and financial pressures, many individuals now work long hours and tolerate heavy workloads, which has led to the rise of busy schedules. Given these circumstances, it is not surprising to see people opting for fast food products and processed snacks while also refusing to pursue sports activities to save time, raising the risk of chronic diseases like obesity. A case in point is my home country of Uzbekistan, where a large number of citizens fail to engage in regular physical activity and eat a balanced diet due to their lack of free time.

However, there are various ways in which the problem of obesity can be addressed. On an individual level, it is essential for people to adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle. This can be accomplished by embracing a nutritious diet with wholesome fruits and vegetables rich in essential vitamins and minerals as opposed to consuming unhealthy food options like fast food items, processed meals, and sugary drinks, and engaging in regular exercises like pull-ups and push-ups instead of doing passive activities like scrolling through social media and playing video games, as well as consulting with medical practitioners to stay away from serious health issues. In the absence of these measures, many individuals are likely to gain extra weight, which would lead to not only obesity but also other chronic health conditions like diabetes.

In conclusion, the increased vulnerability to obesity comes from our demanding schedules, but incorporating healthy living practices into our daily routines can make a big difference in terms of confronting this issue. Only by participating in regular exercise and eating a balanced diet can we manage our weight effectively.
