Nowsaday it has been said that consuming behavior and lifestyle of younger age groups are different from the elderly and this has had a negative effect on their health. It is true that diets and activities were changed over the years mainly due to the development of technology.
I strongly disagree with the opinion, personally I believe that everything that has been changed has changes for the better. And there are a number of reasons why.
To begin with, dietary with better technology; goods that is produced by better manufactoring process leading it to be richer in nutrition and quality. Besides children these day also learn more information about calories and what is more appropriate than what for each person. Another good example is the alternative of food, vegetarian can access easier source of food. Moreover people with Diabetes are able to have sweet without inserting glucose in their body.
Secondly, in the aspect of heath and self care. For examples as we can see, we have more gyms and trainers provided for those who are interested in being healthy. Teenagers are more interested in body building and working out more than the previous generation where back then they did not have these kind of sources. Furthermore it is more convenience and safe to exercise indoor with the technology of monitoring oneself heart rate and used calories. In this case it is leads to lower health problem.
In conclusion, eating habits and lifestyle in modern day seems to have more positive effect than the negative effect.
