Many track their fitness regime and food habits through wearable devices and applications
Exercise is to the body what reading is to the mind! Exercising for at least two hours every week is integral to prevent lifestyle diseases like diabetes and cholesterol. It has also been proven that it can help people deal with stress better, focus on their work more and it even acts as an antidepressant. However health and fitness is increasingly taking a back seat, as people lead more sedentary lifestyles coupled with an affinity for junk food. In fact, it is said that most people take better care of their cars rather than their own bodies. While technology has made our lives far easier in every walk, it was also a major culprit in making people lethargic and ignorant about their overall health.
But the good news is that this trend has been slowly changing around the world. A majority of the population suffered in some way or the other for their unhealthy lifestyles which in turn forced them to take a long hard look at their lifestyles.
