Changes in Life style in Saudi Arabia
Our diet has changed dramatically since the 1930’s,
when we first started to change from natural farming processes, to scientific
farming processes. These changes have run in parallel with lifestyle changes,
disease pattern changes and food processing changes. Set out below are some of
the causes involved in these changes .
Our life style is totally different than before , the need for
fast food is increased markedly , And
the expansion of the big company like Mac , KFC and burger king is huge , It is
exists in every region in Saudi Arabia , And also it is consider cheep than the
healthy food and fresh vegetables and fruit .
Unfortunately there is reduction on health knowledge and exercise ,
especially in the school they sale junk food instead of healthy food . And only
one class for exercise for boys and no exercise classes for girls which is so bad for health .
The advertising influences made extreme change in diet , for
example the energy drinks become very popular in the young age . And the use of chemicals as food additives to achieve marketing goals , Nutrition not considered an
important part of food . Color,
texture, taste and calorie content are key in processed foods .
All of these
cause play a big role nowadays . I wish to change a lot of things which have a
bad effects in longevity and health , but it takes a big effort and time.
