this
 modern world, the individual’s activities are so limited. It is obviously clear that the technology donates some benefits to the society like the availability of doing business at home on the Internet or utilizing vacuum cleaners or dishwashers which cause people to become so lazy. In
this
 case, the lack of physical movements leads to having excess weight. Another reason to gain extra weight and to be unhealthy could be because of eating
foods
 especially inorganic fruits and vegetables which are grown by harmful chemical fertilizers and artificial substances
such
 as pesticides or substances used in order to boost the harvest process. These seemingly technological achievements can seriously harm humans’ health. To halt these irrecoverable influences or reduce the detrimental effects on our

, some pragmatic measures must be taken. Doctors believe that exercise is one of the best solutions to decreasing obesity and being healthy. By doing exercises just one hour per day, we will be able to improve our lifestyle remarkably. Another step towards health could be to eat
