These days, the number of people who suffer from obey-related diseases arising with a frightening rate. This is evident from the fact that people are no longer as physically healthy and active as it was several decades ago. There are many people who argue that the substantial effects on this trend are generated by the technological advancements and the way they shape styles of living. To tackle this problem, implementing governmental policies and the establishment of health facilities will be considered in this essay.
To begin, there is no doubt that technologies are beneficial in many ways but there is also serious negative impact on public health. Such devices like smartphones shape the way individuals socialize and entertain. The vast majority of smartphone users prefer surfing the net chatting, watching videos or images on networking websites, rather than communicating face-to-face and socializing via sports activities. To counter this, educational or advertisement programs aimed to increase the enlightenment of the hazard of such a lifestyle. For instance, South Korea has implemented policy, which includes rehabilitation centers for the Internet-addicted and encouraging sports programs for students
In addition, the nature of jobs all over the globe has moved from physically demanding to mental oriented. The result of this is that billions of people have to lead a sedentary lifestyle. To illustrate this point, office workers in modern companies spend 12 hours in front of computer monitors in a static position. Consequently, a large chunk of people does not obtain a necessary physical activity and face health issues. For this, providing offices and residential areas with fitness facilities would be the most adequate solution as it will encourage people to exercise.
As is clear, targeted governmental propaganda/education programs and setting up more fitness clubs are two efficient ways to make people form healthy habits.
