Healthy living strategy launched

From one piece of the BBC news-Healthy living strategy launched, it broadcasts that a £372m strategy aimed at cutting levels of obesity in England has been launched by the government. It is a long-term project and several "healthy towns" will be created in order to reduce or at least stop massive increasing.

Nowadays, obesity becomes the biggest problem not only in adults and children but also in western and eastern, and it is linked to an increased risk of cancer, heart and liver disease and diabetes. The two most important reasons leading to obesity are: unbalanced diet and lack of exercise opportunities.

In order to tackling obesity, we must increase the opportunities we all have to make healthy choices around the exercise we take and the food we eat.

Useful guide:
·Try to eat five portions of fruit and vegetable every day.
·Try to eat two portions of fish each week, one of which should be oily.
·Try to exercise for half an hour five times a week.
·Try to drink six to eight glasses of water a day.
-- From tips for a healthier 2008

In response to this strategy, TESCO produces a healthier 2008 activity. There is a leaflet I took from TESCO called “How to eat a balanced diet”. On this leaflet, it gives tips for a healthier life, balanced diet, healthy recipes, a guide to read Guideline Daily Amounts (GDAs) and further information about what they are doing to help clients be healthier. It is a good Phenomenon and Marketing tools of taking into account with customer at the same time to promote their products.

In my opinion, a strategy alone doesn't miraculously help people live healthier lives. It has got to be transformed into concrete action. But few are better than none.
