some people think that children today are not as fit and healthy as in the past do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#people #children
Some people argue that children today are not as fit and healthy as in the previous years. I strongly agree with
this
 statement, because nowadays children tend to be more lazy compared to the previous generations.
Furthermore
 the major part of the children don't follow a
healty
having or indicating good health in body or mind; free from infirmity or disease
healthy
diet
. There are several reasons that can explain
this
 trend.
Firstly
, in these years, the internet is becoming available in the most part of the world.
As a result
, the gaming culture changed and a lot of children prefer to play online with a console rather than go playing outside.
For example
,
this
 trend is observable in the US where 6 children out of 10 chooses to play online with a console. A a consequence, children lose their creativity to create new outdoor activities and become more lazy.
Secondly
, As the world and cities continue to expand, public parks and places that allow children to gather are becoming more rare.
For instance
, when I was a child, I used to spend my afternoons in a small park that was behind my school, but 3 years ago that park was knocked down to make room for a shopping centre.
As a result
 all the children that use to meet in that park end up with no space to play outdoor.
Thirdly
, the vast majority of children don't follow a healthy
diet
. As the globalization is spreading all over the world fast food culture, more and more children tend to eat trash food
that is
 not providing the right nutrients that they normally need to grow

.
Consequently they
Accept comma addition
Consequently, they
 tend to be almost more lazy for that lack of nutrients and will continue to prefer indoor activities rather than outdoor ones. In conclusion, the lack of movement and space to meet, and the poor
diet
 that children follow nowadays are contributing to have children not as fit and not as
healty
having or indicating good health in body or mind; free from infirmity or disease
healthy
 as in the past. To avoid
this
 bad consequences it would be advisable to teach and educate children to the importance of sport and benefits of following a
healty

healthy
diet
.
