Essay. Young people are not as healthy as 50 years ago. Studies have shown that today health means a piece of modern fashion's word. It's believed that many young people don't care about themselves as they used to do. Is it really so? To my mind, young people are not as healthy as they were 50 years ago. Firstly, young people eat a lot of genetic modified and junk food. Secondly, young people used to start to smoke,drink alcohol and take drugs in 14-16 years old. It sounds terribly. Moreover, it is very popular to watch serials, play computer games among not only teenagers, but adults. It takes all free time, so people are forgetting about walking and outdoor activities. On the other hand, some people claim that today young people think about their health. People try to control their wieght, do some sports and eat healthy food such as vegetables and fruits. However, I think that situation is getting wosre. Many diseases that used to apllie to only older men, now applies to all. Number of dead people from serious ilnesses is increasing. It depends on our lifestyle and enviroment. Actually, polluted air and water are urgent issues. To conclude, I hope that government should pay more attention for our environment, but we should change our lifestyle to be much happier and healthier.
