The average standard of people's health is likely to be lower in the future than it is now. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

It is predicted that the mental and physical well-being of individuals in the future will be worse than in the present. The essay agrees with

this

statement and explains that a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy

food

habits are the main contributing factors. One of the primary reasons for the decrease in

health

standards is a sedentary lifestyle. In today's fast-paced world, many individuals are highly focused on improving their careers, and

while

achieving

this

they are completely neglecting their

health

.

This

is because they do not prioritise physical activity over professional advancements.

For instance

, many working individuals spend most of their day sitting in their workplace, by the end of the day they are exhausted from the long working hours and return home to rest, thereby avoiding physical activity.

For

this

reason, it is clearly evident that a decline in

health

conditions can be observed in the future. Another reason could be the increased consumption of fast

food

. People are generally addicted to fast

food

as it is a source of a delicious meal at a reasonable cost.

However

,

this

type of

food

contains high amounts of fat and sugar.

As a result

, when eaten in quantity, they could lead to the development of diseases

such

as diabetes, obesity and hypertension.

Additionally

, suffering from

such

diseases drastically reduces the quality of life and in extension the standard of

health

in the near future. In conclusion, it is not reasonable to assume that a general decline in

health

standards could be observed years from now. I agree with

this

statement as leading a sedentary lifestyle and consuming unhealthy

food

could account for a majority of these cases.
