#people #situation
People
 say, "A healthy body is a healthy mind".
However
, technology can take away the healthy lifestyle as it can cause most
people
 these days to be unfit and inactive compared with the past
generation
.
This
 way of living will lead to bad physical conditions. Some reasons for
this
 situation and
also
 solutions to the problem will be discussed in
this
 essay. The
first
 reason for causing
people
 unfit is eating habits. The way of modern
people
 prefer eating fast
food
 compared to cooked
food
 is the diet of the young
generation
. While
people
 in the past mostly prepare their own
food
 that led to their healthier body. A meal prepared at home has varied substances so it has more nutrition compared to a ready-made meal bought in a restaurant or shop. For that reason,
people
 should spend some of their time preparing
food
 at home rather than buying junk
food
. Other than diet, lack of physical activity can affect
people
's health.
This
 physical movement is reduced due to some technological devices which were originally invented to make
people
's life easier.
For example
, the modern
generation
 only needs to put in the clothes to the washing machine. In comparison, the older
generation
 has to wash their clothes by hand and even walk some miles to find water resources. Despite the hard work, the body is actively moving which results in a healthier physique.
Therefore
, technology should
also
 be used to make
people
 actively move.
For instance
, by installing fitness applications on smartphones
thus
 it can be used for working out and measuring walking distance. In summary, everyone can
also
 become healthy and energetic when they include a balanced diet while
also
 doing exercise as part of their daily routine.
