Despite huge improvements in healthcare, the overall standard of physical health in many developed countries is now falling. What could be the reason for this trend, and what can be done to reverse it?

Although

healthcare facilities have been significantly improved over recent years, many developed nations have witnessed a downgrade in the

overall

standard of physical

health

. In

this

essay, I will explain the reasons for

this

phenomenon and suggest some possible solutions to solve it.

To begin

with, it is evident that individual physical

health

status, which gets worse yearly, contributes to the lower

overall

standard of physical

health

. A sedentary lifestyle is a primary reason for poor physical

health

. In the office environment of developed countries, most tasks involve paperwork, and employees have to sit in the office for hours without a long break to do outdoor activities. Children, after school, tend to play games on smart devices rather than do exercises. Another reason is poor nutrition and diet. As fast food stores grow, it is more convenient for parents and their kids to consume burgers and nuggets containing high calories and low nutrition, leading to poor physical

health

. There are some practical and applicable solutions to improve the

overall

standard of physical

health

.

Firstly

, governments and companies should build more sporting centres in neighbourhoods and workplaces to encourage adults to get more light exercise during or after working hours.

In addition

, it is crucial to raise awareness for parents to cook homemade meals for their kids with balanced nutrition. Both methods would improve physical

health

on average and ultimately the higher standard of physical

health

in developed nations. In conclusion, with the aforementioned, I believe that individual

health

mainly affects the fall of the

overall

standard of physical

health

. Building sports facilities and raising awareness can be applied to solve

this

phenomenon.
