Sports- Application qn 4I can’t agree more that exercise should be integrated as an important aspect of the lives of people today. With great advances in the society, the number of people who are keeping active is going downhill, and that is not a cause for celebration. Industrialization and technology have led to many great changes in the lifestyles of people. One negative effect is the increase of saturated animal fat, processed sugar and salt in our diet. With rising affluence, people tend to indulge more, especially when it comes to satisfying their stomachs. The increase in unhealthy food in the market takes a toll on the health of people, as seen from uphill climb in the rates of coronary heart disease, hypertension, cancer, constipation and so on. This causes people to be increasingly reliant on modern medicine. I’m not implying that medicine is not good, but it needs to be regulated. An excess of anything is definitely not beneficial. Instead of being over-dependent on medicine, we should take up an active role and start being responsible for our own well-being. The key to good health? The answer lies in exercise.
Over the past century, evolution of the world has taken place at such a fast rate that people are not quick to adapt. There is now a stark difference in activity patterns and environments from the past. People in the past have to toil and labor to earn a living, while most people now live in a lap of luxury. This has caused a complacent attitude to develop, making people neglect the importance of exercise. What is important is only their work and leisure. Exercising should and needs to be encouraged as it helps to relieve stress, and concurrently keeps people in good shape. Isn’t this highly focused on in our world where advertising has created an image that people has to live up to? This is also vital today, as people are stretched to their limits in terms of their workload. Exercise is a good channel for them to relieve stress. Otherwise, people may turn to violence, self-mutilation and anger.
Lastly, healthcare takes up a large proportion of the world expenditure. If this problem is solved, money can be channeled to areas where it is needed more, such as education and the poor. The reason why there is increased expenditure in healthcare is due to the fact that people have become inactive. Their body needs exercise to function well. Without exercise, regulation of the body is poor and the immunity against diseases is threatened. The best way is not to turn to medicine, but instead, focus on prevention and restoration. Diseases can be kept at bay through exercise. So why don’t all of us step out of our air-conditioned rooms for a run outdoors? However insignificant that might seem, its cumulative effect would be natural medicine for our body, and our way to good health.Melissa
