Life style diseases on rise in India; especially among its Youth.

Life style diseases on rise in India; especially among its Youth.

A recent study has revealed that life style diseases namely obesity, depression, diabetes and hypertension are on high rise in India especially amongst the youth and even amongst the school and the college students.

Its true that most of India’s Metro Cities and A Class cities can boast of wider roads lined with green spaces, plenty of swimming pools and a large no of gyms fitted with all ultra modern fitness equipments, but still life style diseases amongst it’s residents are on rise.

It’s a matter of grave concern.

The most obvious reasons for the same are nonchalant attitude of the people towards their health, hectic and busy work schedules and sometimes lack of awareness and laziness in the case of students and above all, a Mall and PVR Culture slowly and gradually engulfing these cities and the residents in its invisible tentacles.

People of every age group especially the school and the college students can be spotted there, watching the newly released Bollywood movies and binging on the junk food.

To save ourselves from this slow killer, we all need to forsee the ill- effects of this Mall Culture and that we need to spend some quality time everyday in the lap of Mother Nature to enjoy Her Blessings which she offers free of cost and thus enables us lead a happy, healthy, peaceful and contented life.

The elderly people especially the educators need to help, guide and motivate the younger ones to adopt a healthy life style and to help them make physical exercises and healthy diet an integral part of their daily routine.
The schools also need to organise some awareness sessions to sensitise the students about the importance of physical exercises in their lives.
They really need to be shaken up from a deep slumber and to be reminded of the Olden, Golden Proverb , ” Health is wealth”.
