Living a healthy and balanced
lifestyle
 is one of the primary requirements for a long and happy life. But we have been seeing that a lot more people in their sedentary lifestyles are not able to integrate physical
exercise
 in their routine, even when they are not busy which leads to
lifestyle
 diseases
such
 as obesity and high blood pressure. There are several factors in making
this
 problem rise to
such
 pandemic levels. Let us discuss them in detail and
also
 how we can make people live a healthy life.
To begin
 with, the primary cause for little to no
exercise
 is our busy work schedule while leads to little to no time left in our routine for recreational activities. Add to that even the remaining time goes to sedentary leisure
such
 as watching TV or Netflix. Coupled with modern conveniences like elevators and cars alongside a limited awareness of
lifestyle
 diseases and their cause leads to low levels of motivation towards any physical activity. In spite of all these challenges and issues, there are several steps that can be adopted both at an individual as well as community level to inculcate and motivate healthy habits.
Firstly
, people need to be made aware of the ill-effects of a sedentary
lifestyle
 with no
exercise
 as well as how dangerous are these
lifestyle
 diseases, through mass media infomercials.

lifestyle
