If you turn your mind back to around two decades ago you will remember that kids and adults were as healthy as ever, simply because of the fact that they were out day and night doing family activities and exercise. But as the world is developing more and more people are becoming obese and unhealthy.
The reason for this is due to a lifestyle change, ok technology is all very well and good to the world but because of technology we are seeing people live a lot less than they used too, so let's take a brief look at the three main concerns that technology brings.
1) Cars - People have got a lot lazier and the main reason for that is because of cars, people do not want to walk or cycle anywhere anymore they would much rather jump into their car and make their way to their destination, causing them to miss out on necessary daily exercise.
2) TV - Sitting slouched in front of the television all day has become a sort of tradition in the world, people just do not want to go out anymore so what do they do? They eat junk and sit in front of the TV and let the food settle in their bellies.
3) Games Consoles & Computers - This is another major factor in bad health, but games console also make the mind a lot more lazy and un focused.
All of the above three aspects are the main causes of obesity, if you are eating a sitting down all day, how do you expect your body to burn it off? It just will not and you will end up getting a lot of health problems as arteries begin to get clogged up.
A recent study has shown that sitting in front of the TV for more than two hours a day can double young children's risks of being asthmatic. Inactivity is a huge problem for the human body at the moment and it is something that could in fact drop life expectancy down by a huge amount.
The older generation were always active and that is why we are seeing more people live to 100 years old, but if things stay the way they are the current young generation would be finding it difficult to reach the age of 60 let alone 100. Something should be done about this and should be looked at with some urgency.
