today
 have their personal
smartphones
 and electronic devices. While mobile phones enhance the general knowledge of many growing children, I believe that the overuse of personal
smartphones
 is making
today
's youngsters more obese. The main advantage of having a smartphone is the level of information that school-going children can gain to help them with their studies. No doubt that the education system

smartphones

this
 encourages children to adopt a sedentary lifestyle, which can lead to poor
health
. Playing games for extended periods of time with no or little exercise can result in weight gain among teenagers. Sitting in the same posture for longer periods of time with no exercise can cause many
health
 issues among
today
's young generation,
such
 as obesity, high blood pressure and heart diseases. It is estimated that
today
's children are 30% more likely to gain weight as compared to the kids 30 years ago because they were physically active. I believe that offspring should be encouraged to do some physical exercises because it will result in a healthier future of
today
's youngsters with minor
health
 issues. In conclusion,
smartphones
 are very helpful for the children who are studying, but it is negatively affecting the
health
 of the young generation because there is no physical exercise
