Some people think that due to the increase of quality of life and scientific inventions, it is easier to keep healthy than the past. However, in my opinion, I do not agree with this idea concerning the fact that we do not exercise and have healthy eating habits. To begin with, although working out is very importan to maintain our health, due to the comfortable inventions such as cars and elevators, people do not move themselves. Some people walk only one hundred steps a day because of their cars. Also, they do not need to ascend stairs due to the elevators. If they can not exercise in their daily life, they must exercise in gyms. However, they do not have enough time to go to the gyms because they are very busy to work. I will take my father as an example. When he was young, he had to walk more than one hour to go to school, due to lacking of transportations. Besides he had to do the labor after school, for example, climbing mountain to gather bushes. Therefore, he did not need to exercise and he was healthy and thin. However, nowadays he is utilizing his own car and sits on the chair in his office all day, thus he is not healthy anymore and he is obese. Due to the fact that thesedays people do not exercise, it is more difficult to keep their healh than before. On top of that, it is most important to consume proper quantity and qulity of foods to maintain healthy. Imagine that if we eat two Mcdonalds’ hamburgers and a whole pizza before sleeping. Would it be possible to maintain healthy? It is highly doubtful. The only way to be robust would be to have a good eating habit. Nowadays it is very easy to access unhealthy, fast foods and it makes us obese. This is because of busy and competitive life in the present. According to a result of a study conducted by Korean Institute for Health and Social Affairs to determine factors affecting health in twenties to forties in Korea, an eating habit was the most significant variable. People who have bad eating habit, for example, eating fast food or eating rapidly, can not preserve their healty life. In this regard, I strongly believe that it is much harder to keep healthy life than the past, taking the lack of exercise and eating unhealthy foods into consideration. |
