UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE IS JUST AN ESCAPE AND LIE IN THE NAME OF FUN.
We all like to enjoy nice food, drinks and eating out in cafes and restaurants. Supermarkets are full of all kinds of meats, snacks, sweets, ice creams etc.
Food is and always has been an important part of societies and cultures around the world. Gathering around at Christmas time to indulge ourselves with many different foods and drinks whilst having a good time with family and friends is important to many of us. Furthermore, we like to treat ourselves regularly with nice food, drinks etc.
There is nothing wrong with that, but the real problem starts when we treat ourselves too much with unhealthy foods. That can damage our health significantly.
It is all too clear that more and more people are becoming overweight these days due to eating food full of saturated fats or sugars. That with the combination of hardly any exercise is one of the biggest causes of people becoming obese. Furthermore, because we have cars and public transport at our disposal, it is even harder to not gain too much weight. This is worrying as being overweight causes great risks to physical and mental health.

Health problems related to people who are obese are indeed worrying. Therefore, it is very important for everyone (overweight or not) to understand the problems associated with gaining too much weight. The reason for that is because it is all too easy these days to consume many different types of food which are nice, but full of fat and/or sugars. Furthermore, it is important for people who are overweight to look realistically at themselves and try to find ways of losing weight. Obviously, losing weight can be difficult, especially when you’re used to eating many different kinds of food (sweets, ice creams, snacks etc.).
Although we all like to enjoy nice food and drinks, we must not forget to take care of ourselves in a healthy way. This may sound all too obvious, but in our Western society full of foods which are rich in fat and sugar, it is sometimes difficult to live and eat healthy.
