Walking is known to be beneficial for health, yet fewer and fewer people are walking these days. What are the reasons for this? What can be done to address this problem?

Although

walking possesses significant beneficial impact on health, few people adopt

this

activity. The lack of

time

and laziness are the main reason of not doing

this

activity.

This

issue can be curbed by creating

awareness

among masses and rewarding them to motivate for

such

activities. In

this

competitive era everyone is trying to uplift his economic status. Owing to

this

behaviour, they cannot allocate specific

time

for walking. As an illustration, my grandfather, a well known business man in his town, had to work for long hours. He had to eat, while attending meetings.

Hence

, no

time

was left for walking. Not only the lack of

time

, but laziness is the major contributing factor that stop people to walk. To illustrate, the younger generation tends to sit on the couch rather than going out with friends for a walk.

Therefore

, laziness and scarcity of

time

are the reason for sedentary life style.

This

problem can be addressed by creating

awareness

in the general population with the help of the media.

For example

, the government of Pakistan is promoting healthy activities with the help of eminent actors.

Furthermore

, children can be motivated by their families to walk by rewarding them with gifts.

Thus

, creation of

awareness

and motivation, help people choose healthy activities. To conclude, walking has a huge positive impact on our health. Despite being beneficial less people do

this

activity. The scarcity of

time

and lazy nature of the young generation are the main reasons.

This

issue can be solved by creating

awareness

and motivation among people.
