This is due to the lack of physical activity. Many people are addicted to various gadgets around them like, remote controls, mobile phones, Lifts etc. All these things make us lazy.Children are addicted to games on phones and laptops. They have stopped playing outside.
At a very young age, they have various diseases like diabetes, obesity, and blood pressure. There is less communication between people. People lead a sedentary lifestyle and hence diseases are there constant companions. So we as a new generation, let us take an oath that we will use technology wisely as a means to progress and lead a healthy lifestyle.
