#people
The past 50 years have witnessed a dramatic hike in the widespread sedentary lifestyles.

, there are some drastic measures that ought to be implemented to reverse

 phenomenon. Chief among the contributors to
such
 a trend relates to screen addiction. When individuals find a wide variety and availability of cheap entertainment
such
 as the PUBG game and Facebook application ,which have drawn public attention, definitely would they tend to spend long hours utilizing these applications.
Hence
,
this
 will hinder them from spending ample time practising various exercises. One
further
 contributing factor is the widespread emerging technology just as modern automobiles which are equipped with luxurious facilities that save time, money and effort, and make people willing to mainly depend on them. As for the solutions, authorities ought to intervene to curtail the widespread of
such
 a tendency. If governments conducted public education campaigns about the veiled threats of a sedentary lifestyle, civilians would start introducing physical activities just as hiking, running, and jogging.
This
 can be witnessed by the upsurged morbidity rates of obesity, diabetes and cardiac problems resulting from the overutilization of
such
 gadgets.
Moreover
, citizens have to be encouraged to cycle rather than use their cars. Not only would
this
 benefit the public general well-being, but
also
 would rescue the ecosystem owing to the decline in the number of vehicles on the streets.
This
 can be witnessed in Germany which holds the record as the country with the highest rates of cycling, and cyclists have their own safe lanes on the streets.
Thus
, German people enjoy excellent health conditions
along with
 low pressures on health institutions. In conclusion,
this
 is a problem of
such
 complexity that no solution is likely in the short term.
However
, introducing simple daily activities could contribute as a first good step.
