Successful is the one who survive the worst. An utmost crucial step towards it is to maintain physical fitness. The foundation of a healthy society is built when the children and youth are healthy and

hence

, its importance should be taught from the very beginning. I totally agree with the argument that every school should make physical education and sports as their compulsory part of the academic curriculum.

This

essay will talk in favour of

this

argument. Very truly quoted - "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Sedentary

lifestyle

makes children lethargic and they are prone to several diseases. They are allured by the junk foods, but do not indulge in any sorts of play or exercise. Obesity is one major problem children are facing now a days. Because of inactive

lifestyle

children are falling ill frequently. Little change in weather brings them under the weather largely due to a weak immune system. Indoor games are more preferred

instead

of outdoor games,

hence

at home as well they keep on sitting at one place for extended periods. For successful and sound life, balance between physical and mental well being is necessary. Adding to

this

, they may involve themselves in other kinds of activities. Children and teenagers are more inclined towards spending time using the Internet, be it on mobile phones, laptop or on any other platform for that matter.

of going out. To conclude, if sports or physical education becomes compulsory in schools, children will be forced to play no matter what. Until an active

lifestyle

is adopted, overall development is not possible.

This

will

also

result in a healthy

lifestyle

and higher degree of performance and productivity would be achieved.
