Why Britain Should Encourage Sport

Britain faces increasing obesity levels - and that's not good for future generations. More and more people are sitting down in an office or at home for their jobs, which is no good for their health or fitness. Spending 6 hours a day sitting down doing work, can have a dramatic effect on your metabolic rate, meaning that it will make it harder for you to lose weight, and keep fit.

So how can we encourage sport, especially in children? There are plenty of opportunities in every city/town to get a place in a Sunday League football team, no matter how good or bad you are. However, people can be discouraged by that from either the fact that they aren't very good at the sport so barely get to play anyway, or do not get on very well with many of their team mates, so get bored.
