Migrants picking up our bad habits too

Notes

• Immigrants come for a better life
• immigrants children get the australian growing problems
• immigrants children may swamped in mainstream's lifestyles
• immigrants children get obese

Summary

immigrant in australia often believe that they came to Australia for a better life of their children. but news research reveals that those children get chronic disease of overwieght or obesity in australia. it has said that "even the heaviest first generation Asian immigrants are lighter than the heaviest Australian,"this statement  suites particularly Asian immigrants. Bruce Hollingsworth said that change within one generation is pretty fast. he further said that it may be bacause immigrants children do not eat thier own traditional food and do not do exercise. Moreover they may be affected by their peers.later they overwieghted. those shows that immigrants children may assimilated by the Australian lifestyle.

Personal Reflection:

I think, most of the people changes their habits and lifestyle according to the passage of time and the enviroment they live in. this may happen deliberately or without having the knowlege. for example if the immigrants children do have the knowledge of advantages and disadvantages of some processed food ,they may not be obese because the know....but if they do not know and follow thier peers they may be overweighted or obese. therefore having knowledge about our healthy food definitely change everyonse life.
