Fighting Obesity in Contemporary Society


Which is better to help fight obesity: eating healthily or exercising?
The contemporary society is today facing the obesity epidemic which threatens upbringing healthy people in society. Many people are suffering from obesity today and it puts them at a lot of health risks. Children have not been spared as also suffer directly from obesity. Obesity which is excess fat condition in the body, places people at risk of other diseases and it’s very vital for obese people to contain intake of fats or lose weight. So which is better to help fight obesity: eating healthily or exercising?
 Obesity can be fought today by observing healthy eating or exercising. The similarities between healthy eating and exercising are because all are good practices that keep the body functioning in normal way. Obesity is caused by poor habits of eating foods with high calories and sodium density and failing to lose the excess fats in body. Just like healthy eating, exercising help check the intake of fats in the body. Eating healthily ensures only foods that will help the body are taken in just like routine exercising in the gym or walking burns excess fat from the body. People are what they eat and exercising enables them to be who they want to be. Altogether obese people can inherently fight obesity through the two similar practices.
In the differences, healthy eating is simple choice while exercising as a way to get rid of excess fats in the body may be challenging to some people. Strenuous exercises may be a problem to people with disabilities while healthy eating may not be after all. Whereas extreme exercises may result to negative body impacts like blood sugar drop, healthy eating does not have side-effects. Loss of weight can be achieved through healthy eating and the person practicing it does not put a lot effort in it as opposed to exercising. Healthy eating may not require a specialist while strenuous exercises require advice from nutrition professional. The effort required in healthy eating is minimal and thus simple way to fight obesity as opposed to exercising which at times leaves the person engaged in it exhausted.
In conclusion, medical experts once and again have been supporting prevention as the better option than treatment. I strongly advocate for healthy eating because it prevents one getting obese and reduces risks of getting other diseases rather than exercising because an obese person may not have the energy and time for exercises.

The Role of Women in the Renaissance Introduction             The society during the Renaissance period was patriarchal in nature and the role of women during this period was just in the backdrop of the men’s roles. Just like in the Middle Ages women in Renaissance were denied participation in the politics, which was legally considered as the domain of men. The women irrespective of their class were expected to play and perform in the roles of housewife. The women in the class of peasants worked in the farm hand in hand with their husbands and performed the duties of running the home. The women of middle class merchants and shop owners in many times helped their husbands in running the businesses. On the other end, the wives of the elite class, though were attended by a number of servants, were often involved in the household tasks, cooking, entertaining, and sewing among other chores (Brown and McBride 48). In this view, the role of women during the Renaissance was specificall

Conflict Management

Conflict Management Conflict is a normal part of life that occurs when people are interacting because each person in the interaction has a different life experience, and different expectations. This assumption is also true for marriage, where two people come together, coming from different backgrounds, and having different expectations of the marriage, as well as holding various expectations about their spouse.

The conflicts are a healthy part of a relationship involving two people with feeling thus bound to either get hurt or hurt another, or do something that the other is not happy about. However, the strategy each person or both employ to address the problems highly determines their ability to manage the conflict without letting it unduly affect or disrupt the marriage. Therefore, as exemplified in the case of John and Mary discussed herein, c
