People today are living for really long time it has a major disadvantage that is the resources today available is limited and proportion that has to be to people is very large. But the good thing is that larger population will help the country to prosper and help India to climb the ladder of success. As it said” health is wealth”.
ADVANCE IN MEDICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLGY: There is so much advancement in science and technology that people have actually made robots so that people can relax which ultimately helps them not to get stressed and be fit. There are various tablets, surgies, transplants which have helped to save thousands and thousands of lives and we might see more of the advancement in the years to come.
BETTERMENT IN PROSPERITY, STANDARD OF LIVING: We have prospered in our standard of living tremendously since our independence. This major change has taken place due to copying of westernization i.e. to be like them that is western culture (British). Our styles of eating, habits, dressing, to maintain hygiene has changed a lot.Nowdays we prefer more of foreign products which more healthy, more hygienic than our Indian products.
BETTERMENT IN STANDARS OF EDUCATION:
As education is become compulsory. The way one should live its lifestyle for like do’s and don’ts for maintain health is taught from primary which helps the children to get aware of it. There number of programs been held in isolated places (tribal regions) and villages for improvement in their lifestyle and no. of hospitals have been opened in these small places there aren’t very far off any more.
BETTER VOCATION WHICH HELPS IN LOGIVITY: People apt for those things which they love to do. They are making there hobbies as their work which helps to enjoy what there are doing and much of the stress is reduced.
GREATER EMPHASIS ON FOOD/DIET/LIVING HABITS (GYM): Having that prefect figure and staying in shape is what people are nowadays more inclined to. That is why people have they own personal trainer. Join yoga, consult a nutritionist.
And you find a gym at every corner of the street.
And also thousands of books are sold everyday based on diets, look younger, stay fit etc.
EMPHASIS ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITES AND EXERCISE: Today nearly80% of people do exercise whether it is join gym, yoga or simply have a treadmill at their place. You will also find many people jogging and doing various forms of exercises at parks too which also helps to get fresh air and help their mind to be fresh and healthy that may be in morning or evening.
POSITIVE ROLE OF MEDIA: Media to have worked upon helping people to stay in good health that is on television you find these healthy cookery shows, mediation, yoga etc. A newspaper makes you aware about the various diseases that are in the air and tells us about the symptoms and effects and also ways to prevent from it. Radio to gives us the spiritual talk which helps us to relax and helps to avoid the upcoming problems or solves it which helps us not to get stressed.
PROACTIVE WOMEN: In earlier days men were the only ones who worked and earned the money in the house due to which it helped them to be active and stay fit as they did not had to do all housework and other stuff and so they got time to realx.While women on the other hand had to do only household work. But nowadays women do household work plus the office work which has helped women to independent and take care of their health too.
NEW EMPHASIS ON LIFE AFTER RETIREMENT:
People of older age are considered to be more reliable, experienced, and faithful due to which these age group of people aren’t ideal but do have jobs and are kept busy and there are also special homes for them so that they can have fun with their own age group. In this turn it helps them to avoid thought of loniless, useless and to commit suicide.
After knowing so many ways how people are working hard to maintain their health it is very sad to hear that people still are addicted to drugs, cigarettes, aids is spreading very largely around the nation. We should make people aware of these things that it is wrong and really harms one self. Government and people should help to understand and maintain the family planning in order to have balance over the death rate and birth rate in order to country to prosper. Then the statement-“ people living for longer time” can be an advantage or this might create havoc in the country especially in countries like china, Africa and India.
