Sports and health

Not many people are really aware of what they eat and the exercise they do. That is a big mistake, as an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise may result in health problems (as obesity, which is a world problem). That can be prevented by only being conscious of your situation. Moreover, aesthetically, being fit depends largely on what you eat and the amount of exercise you do.

An alternative as a possible solution for this problem might be the promotion of sports and a healthy lifestyle through advertising in the media, mainly television and social networks, which have most users/consumers. This option may have a good outcome, as it will be widespread due to the great number of consumers media has. A drawback of this option can be the high cost of TV advertisement.

Otherwise, the ultimate solution may be in education: children can be taught the importance of a healthy lifestyle. If it is done successfully, those children will implement this knowledge all their lives. This strategy has its weak point, and that is that it takes a long time to put in practice, added to the fact that not all children have access to education.

To conclude, both solutions are necessary, as kids need to be well-educated about this theme and sports and a healthy lifestyle need to be widespread to people that were not educated. In my opinion, the option of education will be the better in the long term, as if kids are aware of this since a young age, they will take care for ever.
