Some people think that children today are not as fit and healthy as in the past. Discuss the causes of this situation with relevant examples and give your opinion on possible solutions

It is believed by many that the progeny of current era is not as swift and strong as compared to those in past. There are myriad of reasons for this phenomenon to prevail such as technological advancements making the lives of children sedentary. However, there are ways to curb this issue which will be discussed in the following paragraphs.

To begin with, sedentary lifestyle is the foremost reason that causes major health issues among the kids, which happens due to ever-increasing technological advancements that facilitates people to accomplish tasks with less physical efforts. For example, in past, in free time children used to play sports which included lot of physical movement,such as cricket, but now these games are replaced by computer games, wherein they sit in front of the computer and spend hours playing senseless games. Moreover, unhealthy food is the second factor responsible for making the future generation unfit and obese. It is pretty evident that these days children are more fond of consuming pizzas and burgers than the home-cooked food, as they are exposed to such food not only on the every corner of the street but also at schools where the canteens offer packaged food and fast food. Additionally, even to flaunt the lavish life style, parents take their kids to restaurants or fast food joints every weekend for dinner.

However, there are plethora of ways to overcome such plight. Firstly, schools should take some corrective and strict steps and make sure that the food available at the canteens is healthy. Moreover, many extra-curricular activities must be included in the school curriculum, such as sports, which compels the kids to get indulged into it which ultilmately would help them in staying physically fit. Furthermore, parents should understand the criticality of the situation and educate and encourage children to eat heathy food and get involved in physically strained activities. For example, care-takers should take their children to parks and play grounds daily and play various interesting games with them. Also, it is the prime responsiblity of parents to cook healthy food in an interesting way which lure the kids to eat it.

To conclude, future generation these days are less active and more lethargic because of increasing amount of fast food consumption and almost none physical activity. However, this can be brought to an end by applying some strict rules by schools in the terms of food and amending curriculum, and measures taken by parents.
