Walking is known to be beneficial for health and yet fewer and fewer people walking these days.what are the reasons for this? What can be done to tackle this problem?

Healthy habits are necessary to keep your life on a healthy track and walking is an important part of it. People, today, are more and more drifting away from

this

practice,

although

, various reasons are behind there that lead to it. We will discuss a few of them in detail below along with solutions

Firstly

, the easy availability of cars and other transport have made things worse. Considering the fact that humans are always lazy, whenever one will see a vehicle standing in the garage, he or she will prefer to use it

instead

of feet. Along with it, an abundance of public transport with their round the clock presence is a major contributing factor too.

For example

, recent research at oxford shows that dependency on transportation system has doubled thrombus related complications in the world in the

last

15 years

Secondly

, we are all following a sedentary lifestyle today. Everyone prefers to eat some fast food, wants to stay at home and doesn't at all like to walk or work hard.

In contrast

, our forefathers used to eat healthily and were more involved in hard physical activities.

For instance

, our children are not very much interested in playing outside as we used to do in our times and they are getting tired after small physical activity .

Thirdly

, media and television channels

also

have played a vital role in keeping the population stick to their beds and sofas by providing them entertainment and news 24 hours a day. Sitting in front of T.V or playing movies on Netflix have separated them from the outer world and confined them to their own houses In order to solve

this

problem, the government should raise awareness about it through the information industry and through educational institutions.

Such

activities should be organised at primary and secondary school levels so that children must know the importance and should inculcate

this

healthy custom in their daily routine. Transport should be regulated and bus stops should be kept on long distance

so that people start walking on a daily basis. With all

this

, the government needs to provide safe, clean and secure walking lots to its population so that they can enjoy

this

routine. Conclusively, both people and the state should realize the fact that

this

is an undemanding, straightforward yet tranquil exercise that does not cost anything, but it has many proven benefits for our own health. We can see a new height of health and happiness and a new steep in our health bills if we make

this

our habit.
