Has Modern Living Made The People Weak, Unhealthy & Disease Prone?

There are two sides to the coin, as far as modern day lifestyles are concerned. On the one hand, technology has subverted us to a great extent, so much so that for many of us, our lifestyle has become sedentary. A sedentary lifestyle, coupled with a rich food habit, has made us all prone to disease and illness. The number of people succumbing to cardiac ailments has risen greatly. In America, obesity has reached epidemic proportions, and brings along with it attendant health issues like diabetes. So, in a way, the modern day lifestyle has left us more prone to disease.

However, today we are also more aware of the ailments around us, and also about what needs to be done to mitigate these ailments or ensure we do not get them. People are more aware of their bodies and the different things that could go wrong with it. Besides, fitness is the new mantra among the younger generation today, ensuring that they are on the road to a healthy future. So to sum it up, the modern day lifestyle may be a cause of worry as far as disease is concerned, but we are also now equipped with the know-how and awareness required to avoid these illnesses.

Yes you are right. Modern living  affects us to a large degree.
Pollution, smoke and toxic of factories, unhealthy food like fast food, technologies, laser. even the seas are becoming baskets for garbage and so the fish would be unhealthy. The same is true for other animals whose food is not natural
Every thing natural has faded away to be replaced by artificiality!!!!!

Yes it has made people weak,unhealthy & disease prone.

Modern Lifestle  has made people disease prone . One clear evidence of this is the increasingly growing rate of cardiac problems in cities. People in villages are a lot more immune . Even children have turned into couch potatoes sitting in front of the T.V or the computer. The true physical exercise has all been deplitted.

What about vaccines? A disease which could killed hundreds  is now unheard of.!
But in the end , you have to choose between a stronger though less knowledgeable generation, and a generation plagued with sickness but with increased capacity to deal with it, though superficially.

Yes...Modern living has made people weak, unhealthy and disease prone...Modern living means adopting the western culture, smoking, drinking, eating pizzas and burgers, etc.Also working at night times in a BPO or a Call Centre is now a days modern living.....But this makes u obese and also mentally sick as scientifically it is proved that brain automatically relaxes...So the people working in the companies become mentally ill and sick......Now don't we see teens and adults smoking in shops, in parties, on roads....It is because of maybe stress or even peer pressure......But smoking reduces 13.9% of the life.....Isn't this unhealthy?Smoking also causes many types of cancers such as lung cancer and stomach cancer....Don't we see obese people around us?Actually the number of obese people has increased....It is because most of them eat junk food regularly and some of them twice or thrice a week............

People have all got influenced by the western styles and now are getting lazier ....people doing night duties don't get proper sleep and hence leading to sleep disorders .....also the busy life of people has made them jump to a easier way of living ...ie eating the junk or packed food which is full of preservatives nowadays a walk in the garden has come to a run on the treadmill...You want to go bicycling..........well ll go to the gym and that's the way it goes ...exercise is not only for burning fats and carbohydrates but for getting in touch with the fresh morning air which keeps u active the whole day,,,,,,,,, it is affecting ,all the people are trying to turn their simple life into sophisticated living.Of course the modern living is directly affecting the people.Now, due to easy availability of many consumer items in the market attracts each and every consumer and they try to procure the item either by spending their saving or taking loan from the banks etc. Both ways the money circulation in the market increases resulting in rise in inflation and related hardships

Yes modern living has made the people unhealthy an disease prone.nowadays we can see children who take daily insulin for dibatics. In the 20th century india such disease were unfamilier.now 400 out of every thousand children suffer from such diseases

No i cant agree with this the modern living helped us to combat many serious threats to the health of individuals..because eventough some are contracted with diseases we cant blame the modern living..its the individual who chooses his fate..vishak

I have some debat
