Homework - Summary

Copy the passage below and write a summary of not more than 60 words.

More and more young people tend to be overweight nowadays. Obesity is a serious problem in Malaysia as well as other countries. Obesity affects not only our appearance but also our health.

People who are obese tend to suffer ill-health at a much earlier age. Many of them may develop disorders such as diabetes and high blood pressure. These may lead to complications such as kidney disease and blurred vision.

Obesity is caused largely by our sedentary lifestyle. It occurs among people who do not have regular exercise. A human requires at least 40 minutes of daily exercise in any form. Jogging, brisk walking, swimming or cycling are excellent ways to keep our weight down.

Another cause of obesity is our lopsided diet. We are likely to be overweight if we eat too much meat, fat and carbohydrate. Fast foods are likely to be meat-heavy and will add to our weight. We should have a balanced diet with sufficient fish, vegetables and fruits in our meals.

The timing of our meals is also important. Heavy meals at night should be avoided. If you wish to have a heavy meal, you should eat before 6:00p.m. and do some light exercise after that. Never go to bed immediately after consuming a heavy meal.

Obesity is not a disease. It is not a permanent condition. We need no medical drugs to overcome it. What we need to overcome it is patience, self-discipline and determination. As the saying goes, "Where there is a will, there is a way."

Write a summary on the causes and effects of obesity.

DUE DATE IS 21 APRIL 2009. EMAIL YOUR SUMMARY TO puan.chris@yahoo.com by 9p.m. Put your name and "SUMMARY" in your email subject.
