IELTS Writing Practices #56

Maintaining optimal health is crucial for living a healthy lifestyle and avoiding diseases and disorders. Unfortunately, some nations are now witnessing an increase in the average weight of their population and a decline in their health and well-being. This essay will highlight the principal causes of these issues and possible solutions to resolve them.

In essence, the principal causes of obesity are twofold — the fast paced modern lifestyle and the poor economic condition endured by many. Firstly, a typical day of average working people is marked by a substantial lack of time, which can cause them to prioritize convenience and ease of accessibility over health. Alternatively, there are those who are unemployed or underpaid and are forced to consume detrimental foods in an attempt to conserve their short supply of funds.

Despite these challenges, it is possible to resolve this health crisis through educational campaign and government subsidies. National campaign, which can be promoted through social media and street outreach, have the power to educate people about the importance of prioritizing their health over convenience and time-saving. Moreover, if the government were to subsidize healthy foods, it would allow farmers to produce them at a cheaper cost and lower the price for consumers as a result.

To conclude, although many nations are currently experiencing declining health, such challenges can be resolved with careful planning. I would advise the food and health administrations of nations facing such issues to allocate a significant portion of taxpayer funds to improve the well-being of their citizens through educational campaigns and subsidies.
