Obesity (肥胖症) is becoming a problem in our busy society, and almost one in three American adults is now

considered to be obese. Children obesity is alsoat an all-time high.

Obesity means being very overweight. If you are obese, you have too much bodyfat. If you eat more food

than your body can use, this will make you put on weight. Food that your body does not need will be stored as fat

by your body.

The following are the major factors that increase the risk of obesity.

What you eat plays a major role in weight gain. Eating a lot of fast food such as hamburgers, sweet drinks, ice

creams and other sweet food can increase the risk of becoming obese.

If you do not do enough exercise, you will put on weight as the food you eat is not being used to make energy

for physical activities.

The chances of you being obese are greater if your parents are obese.

There are many psychological factors that cause people to eat too much. People who are worried, unhappy or

bored will often eat to make themselves feel better. This is known as comfort eating.

Age is another factor, as you tend (趋于) to be less active when you get older. When you get older, you need

to eat less, and if you do not eat less, you will put on weight. Obesity can cause many health problems such as

heart problems, high blood pressure and many other serious medical conditions.

Last summer, Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to a flat building in Chicago.

Maria really liked some things about the city, but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.

One day, Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor, Mrs. Garcia, carrying a gardening tool

and a bag of soil. Maria wondered how Mrs. Garcia was able to garden in the city.

“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables, and I know she misses her garden now that we don’t

have a yard,” said Maria.

Mrs. Garcia laughed. “I’ll show you,” she said.

Maria thought that Mrs. Garcia would take her to the park, but she took her to the roof. When the door

opened, Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.

“What a wonderful garden!” said Maria.

Mrs. Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space. Then some of the people in the

building asked the owners to turn it into a community garden. The building owners liked the idea because the

plants not only helped to keep the air clean, but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmer

weather.

“I plant flowers in my own place,” Mrs. Garcia said, “but you would be surprised by how different the plants

are up here. Some people grow vegetables just like your mom. You can do some of the same things in the city as in

the countryside. You just have to be creative!”

Until quarantine (隔离期) ends, we are left picturing what sport we might do: working out at the gym,

playing on a competitive sports team, swimming, biking, or rock climbing. However, we don’t often think of

martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even,

impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right?
