Answer:

Poor nutrition and the lack of movement

Explanation:

Obesity is on the rise because of many contributing factors. The biggest two are poor nutrition and the lack of physical activity. Obesity related diseases, such as diabetics and coronary diseases, could well be avoided or at least reduced in numbers if people followed some basic health guidance and changed their lifestyles.

The availability of fast food, which is tasty but lacking in nutrients and full of chemicals, made it convenient for families not to cook. Ready or pre-cooked meals are preferred and people are ignorant of the health danger of such products.

The lack of physical activity is due to sedentary lifestyle of the majority of people nowadays. Being on social media has an impact as well, as people spend long hours playing with their phones or on their computers, neglecting physical exercise or an outdoor activity.

Which three industries would be the most directly affected if regulations and laws regarding deforestation became stricter.
Kay [80]

The Logging, Timber and Construction Industries would be the most affected

For obvious reasons, anyone employed in the logging industry would be severely affected if stricter laws were enforced regarding deforestation since less trees could be cut down compared to today's current quotas.

Secondly, those working in the Timber industry would also be immediately affected by the restricted availability of timber and wood in general.

Thirdly, the Construction industry, particularly in states where building structures are mostly wooden structures due to earthquakes, would suffer a tremendous pressure to remain competitive as Timber and wood prices would inevitably increase in price as availability decreases.

Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly. 

About me, I live in an Asian country having a rich culture especially in religious festivities. There is a close relationship when it comes to family. Specifically, children don't necessarily separate from their family once they reach 18. Also, grandparents are very well taken care of personally by the family.

I would definitely add to the diversity, knowing that Asian culture is very different from the Western. In this way, my culture would add more intellect and understanding from all students. Moreover, it would widen the prespectives on social inequality and induce a community free of bias and prejudice.
