A Comparative Paragraph:
I had read two articles related to Obesity and overweight. In fact both articles come from a news paper,and both talk about Asiatic population. They suggest some lifestyles that have any influence in Obesity and overweight, as result how this problem can affect the health.
However , they have more differences than similarities. For example ,one of those articles emphatize in causes of problems rather than, the other one has it about one of kind of treatment.
In the other hand,the first articule is related to scientific study in a specific group of children in India, came from wealthy families and how this can affect the lifestyle of this people.The article listing the relationship between physical activity and intake some kaind of food.They had shown that 7.4% of the sample are obese and only 19% of this group make any pysical activity.Also, we can find in the article that the almost 50% of these children visit the fast food restaurents with relative frequence.(once or twice a week)and suggest that can be ane of the causes of Obesity.
While the second one focuses in young people and adults.This articule is not a scientific report, this is more an informative articule about one particular "fat farm" in China.This is a kind unconvetional treatement for obesity.The information doesn't have any proof that they are saying.It is more anectotal and comming from interview with the director and some patients.They propose using to alternative tretament.Specifically the accupunture. Also,they talk about special diet and physical activity in the same way that do it the first articule.
Finally , both articules send a healthy message to people.
