Paragraph 1: Modern Diet and Its Dangers

An issue of much concern is health. Though many say life today is more comfortable than in the past, the conveniences of modern life may have also made people much weaker and more susceptible to disease. Since people in cities are generally on the go, fast food has become a staple. Such food, however, usually contains much grease, salt, and even sugar. Snacking on junk food is another problem. Junk food is usually packed with preservatives and salt.

Paragraph 2: Sedentary Lifestyles

Another issue is people’s sedentary lifestyles. In the past, children ran around outside while parents manually did the household chores. Today, children prefer staying at home playing online games. As for the adults, they too have minimal physical activity since modern appliances have made housework less strenuous. They enjoy lounging around on weekends, streaming movies, or even playing computer games themselves.

Paragraph 3: Health Consequences and Solutions

Unfortunately, the combination of a poor diet and minimal exercise has led to many health problems such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. That is why many health experts are emphasizing the need to eat right and exercise. Food-wise, there is a push for people to eat more fruits and vegetables while minimizing their consumption of sugary, salty, and fatty food. Health-conscious people are also checking food labels.

Paragraph 4: The Need for Sports

As for exercise, many have realized the need to get into sports. Running and biking have become favourites since these activities can be done solo. Then there are interactive sports that people may play to keep fit and have fun. Depending on where a person may be, sports such as football are excellent for improving endurance and stamina.
