People nowadays are
getting more and more health conscious. And it may be attributed to the
increase in the number of diseases that have been found to be of new strains of
bacteria. Who can forget about the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)
outbreak that hit Hong Kong in 2003? Avian flu virus has never gotten that much
attention prior to the Hong Kong epidemic. The fact that many people died and
perished as many countries were caught unprepared for the disease had opened
the eyes of many people of the importance of staying healthy all the time. A
healthy body is the best way to ward off any unknown disease.
Such unpreparedness has
taught people of the world a costly lesson as nearly a thousand people died
from the SARS outbreak. People have become more conscious about their health by
turning to healthy food, a regimen of regular exercises to keep fit and healthy
and deviating from a lifestyle that will eventually contribute to the weakening
of the body. A lot of people make lists of the healthy foods that one needs to
take every day. They have gotten into health and wellness programs that help
keep their bodies attuned to their everyday activities. And on top of that,
they even have various health supplements to help them cope with the daily
activities that they engage in.
The internet is flooded
with tips on healthy foods, good exercises that can be done at home and advice
on how to de-stress and cause the brain to relax a bit. People return to the
basics and lists down lifestyle changes they can adapt to promote better health
and lose weight. Various physical activities are encouraged by health buffs
like getting into a martial arts class, or going rock climbing for the more
adventurous and well-conditioned health advocates, or even the common and ordinary
activities like swimming, bicycling, step aerobics and jumping rope. They may
sound routinely ordinary but they give the body great benefits in terms of
physical health.
Media has its share of
keeping such awareness and consciousness among a wide cross section of the
society. There are more TV shows dedicated to highlighting the importance of
staying healthy. There are more informative advertisements dedicated to health
and fitness. Not to forget the many celebrity-attended fun runs, triathlon, etc.
which inspire people to do the same as their favorite celebrities. All these
help in creating a society with people more concerned with their health which
was not seen from the past generations. Today’s world is a world of health,
fitness and wellness.
While incidences of
obesity have not been eliminated completely, people are taking action and
initiatives to address the problem. Most of the running morning TV shows have a
segment on health and fitness and it is a good way of repeatedly calling on to the
viewers who may need the advice to start their own self-help programs to
healthy living. Such media exposure helps a great deal in convincing and
encouraging people to make life-changing decisions concerning their health.
