The growing concern of obesity and its associated risks has become one of the largest among adults in general but students in particular. The detrimental effects of this rising problem have paved the way for a possible solution - the introduction of more exercise in the school setting. While this proposed solution may oversee the problem in certain aspects, I disagree that it is the best way to deal with it. To effectively overcome this obstacle, I believe it is of utmost importance to delve deeper into its root cause.
First and foremost, problems associated with food habits, such as obesity, are more recent developments. The increase in fast food chains and delivery services has made people more reliant on such forms of food over the last decade due to its accessibility, low cost, and convenience. Thus, a more effective solution to this problem would be to alter dietary patterns. Alongside a growing number of fast-food chains, a healthier, more nutritious side to food has emerged. It is imperative that people shift from outdated and
unhealthy sources of food to healthier, nutrient-rich alternatives, which are easily
available at most supermarkets. This gradual move to a more balanced diet would
allow people to solve most external and internal dietary issues firsthand.
Secondly, I believe it is important to acknowledge the ineffectiveness of existing physical
education programs in many schools. Many, if not most, physical education programs
are only catered to the likes and strengths of certain students. For example, sports such
as basketball or running may appeal only to a mere few and the remaining students are
forced to either push through not wanting to do it or spend their time as bystanders of
the event. This may harbor the very purpose of sport and physical education in school
and likely cause unwanted health concerns among them.
Although there are evident downsides to the introduction of more physical education
classes as discussed, there could be potential benefits to it if properly planned. Having a
A more structured, laid-out, and organized plan could motivate students to challenge
themselves and foster healthy competition within school grounds, leading to lesser
major health matters.
In conclusion, physical education is an essential component of school curriculums and
can be used to tackle increasing obesity issues. The main challenge is however not in the
quantity but rather the quality of education being received. Nevertheless, the most
effective solution to health risks lies in the move to a healthier lifestyle and balanced
diet.
