Subject: The problems caused by sedentary life-style among children
Sir:
I am writing this letter to express my deep concern over the increasing problems caused by sedentary life-style, especially among children. Children as well as elders have become veritable couch-potatoes. They love to sit in front of TV or computer for hours at a stretch. Sitting continuously for hours and watching senseless TV programmes just affects their minds negatively.
Human body’s metabolism functions optimally only if it is exerted sufficiently. Playing outdoor games are so essential to the proper physical growth and development. While playing them we really have to exert our muscles, bones, sinews, tendons, and other organs. This physical movement is so wholesome for our health.
But unfortunately children these days don’t prefer playing outdoor games. Sedentary life style can lead to obesity, cancer, cardiovascular, and depression complexities. Through the columns of your esteemed daily I appeal to people and the concerned authorities to make such policies as discourage sedentary life-style among children. Kindly give my views enough space in your daily.
Yours truly,
Gaurav
