What are the most critical health concerns we face in the 21st century and why?

To begin with, I have observed that as time passes the world is decaying and so are the people.
Diseases arise of whatever type it is and sadly, it affects a fetus up to a grown age. Cardiovascular
diseases, respiratory infections, HIV/AIDs, depression, and so forth. These diseases are the most
rampant in today’s generation. The 21st century where I was born, has the newest and most quality
medical technologies but why are there still people dying from these diseases?

I believe people’s lifestyle is one of the reasons why we get these health issues: the way we eat,
sleep, drink and do our routines. The young generation loves to eat unhealthily, drink aggressively
and sleep shorter at night. I have read a saying from Joel Fuhrman, he says that “You cannot but
your health; you must earn it through healthy living”. Indeed, working for your health is the only way
of having a better body and mind.

In addition, Environment is also one of the major causes of the arising variants of diseases and
making the common once more fatal for everyone. One issue is the epidemiological community's
classification of environmental factors into domains that are only marginally overlapping, resulting in
coverage gaps. In addition, in epidemiologic studies, information about environmental exposures is
usually derived from questionnaires that aren't designed to assess thousands of potentially causative
exposures (Rappaport,2012).

Health is wealth! −a famous saying but not actually implied. In conclusion, even the best technology
in the generation arise our health is still up to us. The most critical health concern is that we know
what to do in our health, but we choose not to. It only takes a ten-minute exercise a day, a balanced
meal, and quality sleep to start gaining a healthier body and mind.
