[00:07.96]On Losing Weight
[00:10.45]Losing weight has gained much popularity today,
[00:15.24]especially among girls.
[00:17.17]Many media, such as TV programs, magazines,
[00:21.90]and newspapers are talking about losing weight.
[00:25.82]Why are so many people keen on losing weight?
[00:30.17]One of the main reasons is that
[00:33.28]many people are suffering from obesity,
[00:35.84]so they have to lose weight for the sake of health.
[00:38.82]Another reason is that many young ladies,
[00:42.80]who are influenced by the idea that the slimmer they are,
[00:46.66]the more attractive they will become,
[00:48.84]are paying much attention to their weight.
[00:51.45]For my part, whatever the reason may be,
[00:55.19]people should lose weight in a reasonable way.
[00:58.42]A majority of people would like to lose weight by dieting.
[01:02.97]It may, however,
[01:04.71]lead to some side effects
[01:07.32]and thus be harmful to their health.
[01:08.94]I would prefer doing exercises,
[01:11.99]a healthier way to lose weight,
[01:14.35]rather than eating less.
[01:16.34]After all,
[01:18.31]being healthy is of more significance than weight-losing.
