Obesity and poor fitness levels have increased due to processed food consumption and car dependency, lowering life expectancy. This is a major problem as obesity increases risks of diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Individuals can improve their diet by preparing healthy homemade meals and being more active through walking or cycling instead of driving. Governments can also help by educating people on healthy lifestyles and incentivizing active transportation. While individual efforts may have more impact, coordinated actions between individuals and governments are needed to successfully address rising obesity levels.
