The words ‘sport’ and ‘gyms’ have recently become catchwords among all ages of people, especially young people. There are countless advertisements on social media about them and it seems like people who usually don’t set aside time for them are old hats. Nevertheless, people nowadays are perhaps less healthy than ever and also suffering from a variety of diseases which have never been heard before.

People often unnoticed that the accelerated technology growth has brought lots of changes in our daily lifestyle. What our grandparents did when they got up was sweeping and cleaning their house and we are doing the same but only with one tap in the household machines. They had to use stairs in tall buildings instead lifts are there for us now. In fact they save a considerable amount of time, while they lessen an equal amount of our physical movements as well. The calories that should be burned during chores are turning into body fat. The second fact is about food. Today’s people are focusing on their business and earning money day by day and many don’t spend much time on preparing their own meals. That’s why fast food restaurants have become more popular almost everywhere. However, if we want a healthy life, we should stop our eating junk food habits, and try having a healthy and balanced diet.

To sum up, the ways we eat and we live our daily lives are mostly affecting how fit we can live. In my opinion, besides the time we are doing sports or going to the gym, we must also take great care of the rest of the day too.
