I think, it is important that in schools teachers learn and induce their students practice exercise from early age. They must learn them to become aware of food that they must eat if they want be a healthy man or woman in the future Ana Christina Cabral Glória
As an overweighted person ,in my point of view, this is a result of the serious problems we are living : violence,worrying about keeping employment,knowledge,perfect bodies of top models,anxiousness.Even the young children have to deal with these problems because everybody is worried about their future and this causes the same problems adults have . Let's change the world thinking . Let's accept our limits , our human condition and accept others as human beings too. Hong Kong
We should exercise regularly in order to increase our muscle and metabolic rate . Alice from Russia
I 'm so grateful to the author for this story. I always presupposed (felt like) that it's much more healthy to go on foot instead of driving cars, using escalators, etc. And I almost don't use them, at least, I prefer to go up the stairs. But the idea that such simple everyday activities could be more healthy than visiting jym is a discovery for me. Besides, it's really exhausting and quite boring, sometimes you just don't have enough time.
Don't worry for this any more, just walk and save money;) charleen cunningham n.ireland
I think that the government should stop sweets and all that from being sold and then people should not get much over weight i am 15 and i even think swets should go out thanks

It seems to me that oveweight problems depends on your lifestyle. I agree that you must choose what you eat and how you go to work, etc. I think that overweight problems came to Europe from the US. And this is the result of "McDonaldization". That means that we took their eating habits. However, I am glad that it is not a problem in Lithuania yet. It's a problem of western society. Stop eating all these french fries, burgers, chips and drink juice or water rather than Coke. So, change your eating habits and nutrition. Ana, Spain

Obesity is new topic of morden society.Every year obese people is increasing. when I meet they in the street, I feel sympathy about them. I think this problem is come from their bad life habit .

In a few "rule of thumb" strategies, we should eat just enough to be satisfied, avoiding fat rich foods and instead of taking your car uot to get the groceries at the round the corner convenience store, take a walk there.

Everybody knows than in the poorest countries people die of starving but I think that soon will be able to see how lots of people in the richest countries will die of overeating. Something similar is happening with our pets living in our flats. They have all the commodities and they don't look like at all with the animals we can see in freedom. Ithink we should do more exercise in our daily life: eg. using the stairs, walking, preparing our meals, ... Paula /CH
The Problem is so much hours in the school and stress with the class, and at home they have to do home works instead of play outside and have fun. They have to anaylyse a lot of information and live with them. Also problems in the family: fathers and mothers have to work to to insure a good live for their childrens and to be independent becasue man or woman can change and leave the family. So a lot of pressure! one solutions is to change the time schedule and the other one to make more exercises during the school time, f they dont ahve the time later at home. JINXING CHINA
i find that wester people are much stronger than people in Orient。 but i know it is truth someone is too fat ，i work in a rastaurant in fuerteventura serve english people ，which they eat is really unhealthy and so many soft drink drunk in anytime，thougt they do like sitting in bar take drink and cheat for long time。well you can see may people join GYM to exercise body。so to my opinoin ，fat people would better take health food cut time down in the bar ， i think this is a essential consideration Judy, Taiwan
In order to staying fit, I always obey the rules, which are regular exercising and eating less. However, eating less has always been a challenge for me. I still can’t easily resist desserts although their produce high calories. In my opinion, everyone has his own definition of obesity, and the definition should be adjusted with ages. As a matter of fact, it would be much easier to accumulate fat in bodies when getting old. Besides, if someone is thought to be fat, he doesn’t have to change as long as he’s satisfied with himself. After, everyone has the right to choose the way they want to live. chanan\China

I went on a strong diet between 18 and 19, losing 13 kg (I was 57), as a rsult I was so tired that I couldn't do sports, I didn' dare anymore go out with friends, so many things had become a problem. Now it' over, I have resumed sports (Swimming, climbing, hike) and would for anything in the world give up having a good meal with friends. Nevertheless, I can't deny I don't eat as much as Pantagruel, we have to be reasonable. One thing is still incomprehensible : why do so many people need to eat so much, is it because of deeper problems ? maisie ,china

I do think the parents should educate their children by taking healthy meals. I however I rekon that there is a lack of cooking courses, but we should help all parents by providing new education scheme which include a high part of education on how to eat and behave in a healthy maner.
Even though our society teach us that time is money, an american proverb, all countries should launch a study on the consequences of this view. Therefore eaiting would no more be only an utility but a real joy entirely part of our "too fast lives" we would have to slow down.
In the other hand, obesity is not only due of the food we eat. We could blame our modernity as well. As far as thechnolgy progress are made, the world would become more and more virtual or electronic. So, people needn't to have to move from their home to work or to do their shopping; you could either work at home than asked for delivring all your shopping list at home. Thus, we would find it difficult avoid doing gym course once a week although this could have a bad effect on our health. It appears then that we have been facing these days a lot of problems to solve in the same time. Cindy Tseng, Taiwan
Overwaight is a problem in Taiwan,too. Nowadays, it is nothing but all harm, which could increase risks of many diseases. We all know about that, but how could we stop it? Changing life style is the most important way to slow down the problem. It said by the vice-president: “ although we do have new drugs, such as statins to lower lipid, exercise and food restriction is the key issue to overcome obesity and related problems.” Experts say that we should exercise at least three times a week and up to the maximum heart beats (220 minus years of age) every times. Of course, I think doing some physical activity fitting into our lives is more practical and could lasting for a long time. Hope the bomb could be broken down.

My experience are doing moderate activity at least 30 minutes every day. Probably. And being careful of my diet. Kenny / Taiwan
I think the reasons to most plump people are improper eating habits and the lack of exercise. The fine food nowadays has too many calories, but still many people don't be aware of this fact. So if we eat more, we need to exercise more to reduse the accumulated fat in our body. Frome this point of view, not only less eating but also more exercise we need to lose our weight. Most impotant of all, the government should educate their people how to have healthy bodies and why they need healthy bodies. Because if they themselves don't bacome concious of their own health, then they will never eat less and exercise more. sanny / TAIWAN

obesity is bigger and bigger become a big issue among modern poeple who are not inactive. In physical health, over-putting on weight leads to heartattack, diabetes. Furthermore, in mental aspect, they are shown commonly the same trend, They avoid face to face contacts in public places, because of their bodies attract public gaze from others when they move. This phenomenon, can come up to them extreme depression and loneliness. It is undoubetly true to say that they need doing physical exercise as well as proper consulting for obesity. In addtion, for overweight people, the goverment shoud prepare adequate finance paid to health instructors who help losing their weight.

Morover, i do not visit any gym, do not do any physical exercises and my work is sedantary. How will you explain this? Sally, Hanoi-Vietnam
I think, a good way to loose weight is eat less in diner time. Besides, doing exercises every early morning and late evening... Larson, Taiwan
The main reason why people keep fit or fat is "habit". People who are thin or slender have the habit of staying fit such as diet, exercises, faith----never being fat. People who are obese or over-weighted still have the custom of remaining fat such as gluttony, laziness,inactivity. If u are eager to lose weight and keep fit, remember one point--- Never give up. An old saying once said "A rolling stone gathers no moss." If sticking to it, u may figure out the truth meaing of those words and shout out confidently "A moving body gathers no fat" doesn't it? ^^

I think most of the people know how to keep fit and how to eat will become more healthy. Because we can be easily aware all of these messages around us nowadays. From my point of view, the first thing for the people who want to be more fitness must have a strong will to achieve their goal.According to my experience,I can always control my weight within a standard level because I always have a full and nutritional breakfast,slight lunch(e.g.Tuna sandwiche or Ham sandwich with an apple) and full vegetable dinner. If you think this eating pattern is suitable for you, try it. I am sure it works. ben chian

The issue may have at least two possible options, despite i'm not a doctor i dare to give a setting out to it; first of them would be argued to people who have some kind of illness or disease on their weight regulation glands, in which case i think this people should be treated by some specialist doctor becoming this treatment to carry off from a very professional following up; (it might be very dangerous overlook this situation since we are talking about health); Second posibility which may lead to get overweight would be due to eat to many food which hold big amounts of sugars, starch and carbohidrates in general people who have tendency to gainning weight ought to take care and have realisation of it from the scracht to cut down as soon they may, then its when will strenght should appear to contein or to get rid from gluttony; Adressing if goverments should or not take responsabilities on it , i was hearing a couple days ago a report precissily on bbc news about the factibility to lay taxation down over an important group of fatting food as its done on cigarrets and alcohol which it seem to me a very good idea; well as bottom line and to finalize i'd like to underscore that the issue is delicated since may become a cause of unhappyness for lot persons and therefore have also social set backs as it has currently. smiling in China

Several years ago the obesity wasn't a big problem because people used to eat good food. However we can see that it became more seriously when the fast food appeared. In fact the problem isn't that but people don't really know how to eat correctly. In my country it also a big problem and our government try to find how can we stop that. I suggested that we need to do exercice quite often and also drink and eat good things for our health. If we don't want to die as a stupid person we must take seriously this problem. goodboy

The obesity problem is nowaday issue. Being overweight might cause many problems as the news said; however, there are still many people having overweight problem. I agree with the news about doing some activities such as runing or jogging for 30 mins a day. It does not matter that you go to gym or not. Just like what Professor Biddle said,"gyms are not making the nation fit". For me, gym makes people overdoing the same exercise with the same muscle. It is sure that gym can make people looks better but is expensive, why not just go for a walk or jog for 30 minutes and you still can look healthy without overwieght problem. Christy-New Zealand

To keep fit and not feel hngry at the same time, one should avoid eating too big helpings. I suggest consuming 5 small helpings a day in regular time's lapse. Apart from that, do some exercise at laest for 15 minutes a day. Jean-Marc France
The problem of obesity is especially a problem of humans (not of wild animals), and more particularly, of people living in (too?) rich countries. In addition, we can think that obesity is very well adaptes to the actual economy based on consumption : more fat you are, more probably you will consume more food, more sqare meter in housing and planes, bigger cars and largest clothes. I should simply suggest to reduce dramatically consumption in that consumption society. Then, if we stop to consume more than necessary in the food area, I guess that human will solve the problem of obesity. Thai, Vietnam

to keep fit we must avoid eating some unusfull snacks (chips, coka,) forget fish and chips, drink water only except at breakfast time we can drink a large glass of pure fruit juice. eat vegetables as much as we can, cancel red meat, eat heavy at luch and light with most vegie food for dinner, and do exercice (swing only on back it s good for everithing, cycling, at home or outside, or find a suitable exercice. having personnel massage, using cream. the cream is not gonna make us losing weigh but doing it every day reminds us that we are beautiful and being more. put make up on and give ourself time to constate our progress ( don t wish losing weigh too fast it s really dangerous)

First thing, I can say is to stop eating fatty food. If you do some exercise or eat less it can’t help you, because it will be the same so for my idea, it is not good to eat fatty things, first stop eating burgers, crisps, chocolate
sugar, or do not put to much oil in your food when your cooking and not much salt in your food, so what you should do now it to change your system of meal, drink 2litres of water a day, vegetable, salad, fish, chicken and meat but not red meat then you can do your exercise ,if you eat fatty food then do exercise, you are doing nothing for your health.

Obesity time bomb is one of the most concerned national problems not only to your country but also many countries. According to Korean medical research, one of ten children of primary schools are suffering from overweight. There is no clear-cut solution about the obesity. In my opinion, the main cause of obesity due to way of bring up children. Because many Korean parents are eager to serving good foods to their kids and some parents force to their kids eating more meats. They have a false belief that meats are essential to keep their children's good health. My eldest son had suffered from overweight for 3 years. I consulted with my son "how to lose weight." We applied the following simple mode of life. First, I advised him take exercise for one hour at least 5 days in a week until his body soaked in sweat.(running is very good but if your heart is weak never practice!) Second, I advised him "no food at night" Of course, It's very difficult to overcome a temptation " have a desire for delicious food." I told to him, "if you can't resist this ordeal you have to give up "losing weight." About 10 months later, my son's weight nearly became normal. If you having a little food or no food at night, you'll succeed to lose your weight. In addition to, you can cure chronic stomach disease. Have you ever heard about Korean Buddhist monks' "having food style."? Monks who concentrate on meditation having two or only one meal in a day. Don't surprise that their main dish is vegetable, fruit and very little crops. Having meat is strictly prohibited by the Buddha's law. In spite of malnutrition, They're very healty and energetic than anyone else. Even nonagenarian monks are stronger than 50th. OK, now it's your choice "either you succeed or fail to lose your weight." Shamal, Bangladesh
Obesity is really a very big problem for the children who are overwight and a big headach for their parents also. I think children donot need to do special excersise. Children play of their own interest and I think this is enough. We need to care about their food. Childrens are very much interested with caloric food specially chocolate or icecream somethings loke that. So parents need to care about this. In some developed countries, day care centre or schools authority arrange food specially in lunch time. They should give special care about the food value. rauf turkey

The gymnasium are very popular in Taipei city. Most people working at office always spend their lesiure time and money at gymnasium in order to keep their perfect figures. But I often do jogging at athletic ground of elementary school. I think I am very different with the other people living in Taipei. Emily Wu, Taiwan
In my opinion, the growing of yummy fast food is the main risk factor which increase obesity at present. If the government has to take some responsibility, it might be a good idea to control the amount of fast food vending, such as limiting the number of restaurants. kartikpatel from india
if we want to eat more and already our weaight is more so just keep it up exercise regularly..it's enough. tsiyang from china
this article shocked me alot, because i am just enjoying doing gym in my school three times a week. however, i agree that everything inclines to extreme side when you do it too much, so as physical activity; in my ponit of view, and also from my own experience, there shuold be usefull to keep exercise and eating in balance, my instructor made a programme for me on gym exercise and food, i am just start working it; what i am really sure is do sth if you really need diet, and do it in pleasure, but never force yourself to do it, the result could be opposite then. by the way, my purpose to do gym is to shape my boday well, but not to be slim, remember, happiness comes from enjoying life, but not ruin your life, so do whatever you want to do, and you can do.

Why not do enough washing??? Odnoo, Mongolia
Hi, In my opinion, easy,and efficient way to lose weight is dancing everyday. it does`nt mean that only at disco, bar.You should dance alone or with your children... for 10-20 min at home while very loud music.There isn`t anyone who don`t like.It is make you are in sweat soon.Also you should do it when watching TV.It is better to make dance motion at every walk such as washing cup,cleaning face,walk among rooms. gita hong kong
I think daily excercise is important & healthy diet e.g. more vegetables & fruits. And we need to keep us busy our self.

I think more exercise and eat less are important equally. S.K. from Japan
Obesity is said to cause serious problems such as diabetes. To reduce medical costs, the government should tackle this obesity problem. The most effective way to prevent obesity is to exercise more and eat less. Especially people should avoid eating fast food. Instead, I recommend traditional Japanese food, which mainly consists of vegetables and fish. If people can go back to this healthy food and avoid fat and sugar, I believe obesity problem will be solved and people will be more healthy. yananzhang China
Eat less and proper exercise. Do not buy too much food in the frig.Buy expensive food that you will not eat much, but still can afford and enjoy it. Last, drink tea, Wulong tea , every day. You will feel great and in good shape. xiaoxiao China
I used to be very fat,but now I have a quite good finger.From my own I think,eating less and exercisine more should be taken on at the same time. WilliamChina China
Obesity probably caused by eating too much or failing to burn the fat. So, for that ,we can keep our mind smart. Keep mind smart is one way to keep fit. One person who has something keep he or she thinking or even worrying,then he or she is somehow thin. Shreya.S.Menon(India)
Exercises & a Healthy diet is very important for staying fit. Nowerdays, people are getting into the trend of eating junk food stuffed with EXTRA calories. Moreover we are glued on to the television most of the time leaving very less time for exercises or outdoor activities. I feel choosing the correct method of exercising is also important.The best way to stay fit is to involve yourself in outdoor activities.Your mind & soul is pacified in the cool breeze besides the loss of fats from your tummy!Drinking large quantity of water is also important while exercising to aviod dehydration.

Harder learning and proper activity, plus health foods could control children's weight well. Joyce Wong from Hong Kong
In my opinion, a balanced diet and doing regular exercise at least 30 minutes a day are both important. We need to eat more fibre and less meat, just like the Pyramid picture of balance food we always see in the clinic. For exercise, I find that yoga is one kinds of exercise which suit me very much.
