Technology has made us lazy

Mostly anything created around us revolved in a spectacular scale until sometimes

we can get too overwhelmed with what technology has brought upon us. Advanced
technology (the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes) has helped
us in our daily life routines and it has also become a backbone in building our current
society. Ideally, we are depending on technology and its benefits towards our lives.
However, I disagree with the statement because technology has never made us lazy
society. In fact, we use things related to technology to achieve our goals in life, to live
in better surroundings and in addition, harmful diseases could be treated by medical
technology invented by talented people.

It cannot be denied that technology helps most of us to achieve our dreams in life.
Back in 19909s, we were happy to be able to use public phones to contact other
people or enjoy watching evening drama series through television. As the technology
hasadvanced, our young generations nowadays are lucky enough to enjoy their life
just by having smart devices like smart phones, tablets or video game consoles. As a
matter of fact, younger generations are not lazy because the world is actually in their
hand; by one click at a time. Subsequently, technology eases our way to access to
different channels that could help us to strive for the best. Photocopier machines, fax
machines, printers and scanners are some of good inventions to help us in thriving in
different walks of life. A group of students, workers or even housewives are fully
utilizing different kinds of technologies to accomplish their dreams in life. They could
be living their dreams either by working with big companies or using social sites to
sell stuff online. Moreover, now that we have WIFI connection or 8data roaming9 to
ease our jobs, sending emails, presenting reports or having a workshop online could
be done easily by the help oftechnology. By far, technologies in communication has
made us eager to be a part of our society. If humans are lazy, then those inventions of
technology would not have been invented at the first place. Therefore, technology
provides better things in life for us to achieve our goals in life.

In addition, new transportation technologies help us to live in better surroundings by

enabling us to commute from one place to another. Apart from cars and buses, we
now have MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) and LRT (Light Rail Transit) whereby they
were built from a combination of tram and metro features. We can use both MRT and
LRT while we are travelling for work or sight-seeing in the city without any
disturbance or being stuck in a congested road. Apart from that, our country is moving
towards ‘going green’ movement and that is the reason why there are quite a number
of vehicles using natural gas (NGV) and electric cars roaming on the road.Our
government wants to curb the air pollutions problems and with the help of new
transportation technologies, we can actually live in a less polluted air. Hence, we are
not lazy people actually because we live in a better place with good transportation
technologies to help us to travel faster than before

Apart from transportation, our government has provided us with beneficial medical
technologies that can cure so many harmful diseases. Living in a fast pace world, we
may forget to take care of our health. Most of the time, we simply eat what is in front
of us or we seldom do exercises to maintain our ideal weight. However, with new
technologies in medical field, many diseases involving our respiratory systems,
kidney functionsbrains or even skin related problems can actually be treated in this
country. Moreover, our young generations are so eager to learn new things to be able
to become doctors, dentists, pharmacist or even radiographers in order to help others
in the future. Technologies do not lead us to laziness but they are motivating our
young generations to strive for the best in life. Without technology to help us in
medical field, the rate of mortality will be high and many people will die at a young
age especially among new born babies. Thus, I believe that if people are lazy, they
will not be able to invent more new technologies especially in medical field because
we want to fight incurable diseases together.

In conclusion, I think we are using technologies at our best and it does not mean that
we are lazy. They were invented and they were meant to be fully utilized in our daily
live. In fact, technology is being utilized for achieving our goals, living in better
surroundings and treat various harmful diseases. That is why I disagree with the
statement because technology has never made us a lazy society. Without technology,
might as well we live as a pre-historic society – living in a cave and hunting animals
for food. As far as it concerns, the evolution of mankind has brought us many new
technologies in our lives. For that, I think we deserve to enjoy every bit of
technologies provided for us.
Stress makes people fat
Have you ever heard emotional eating? This phrase actually refers to people who
use food to help them dealing with stressful situations and it is one kind of human9s
behavior patterns. For some reasons, stress is one of our major problems in life and so
does eating excessively while we are facing difficulties in life. In my opinion, I
believe that stress makes people fat and somehow stress gives negative impacts
towards their healthy weight. Negative stress can make people fat because they have
poor eating habits, disruptions in daily healthy routines and they indulge in unhealthy
lifestyles.

When people are depressed, they tend to eat a lot which may lead them to have
poor eating habits. Usually, stress tends to increase the appetite of eating a lot and
most of the time they just simply eat anything without thinking about calories or fats
inside certain food intake. In addition, negative stress such as feeling overwhelmed
with negative comments received from their superiors can somehow implicate their
body which they might experience the ‘fight or flight response’(a psychological
response towards something terrible or terrifying) and when this happens, some of
them chose to binge eating. Eventually, they will crave sweet things and junk food
which contain a lot of sugar and salt just to satisfy the hunger caused by negative
stress. To make things even worst, poor eating habits like munching processed food
like hotdogs, nuggets and fries which are higher in sodium intake without adhering to
the proper eating hour will cause obesity problems too. Hence, poor eating habits will
lead them to weight problems which somehow caused by stressful situations.

Additionally, stress is causing overweight problems among people due to disruptions

in daily healthy routines. Chronic stress disrupts our sleep and our blood sugar levels
which leads to an increased hunger and comfort eating. Some people have too much
problems to handle which cause them to have insufficient sleep at night. Sleep is
beneficial for humans wellbeing and lacking of sleep will somehow affect the brain9s
functions. For some people, just because they cannot sleep at night, they tend to eat
more than they should and it is not advisable to eat late at night. This is because they
will not burn the calories but they will store the food as fat. Another healthy daily
routine is doing exercises. However, stress will cause them not to indulge in healthy
activities anymore as they prefer to sit on a couch while watching movies with potato
chips in their hands. Watching movie can release their stress but too much of junk
food will increase their chances of getting fat. On the contrary, some may choose to
have irregular sleep pattern to forget their problem. Little that they know, it can lead
to becoming fat too because their body is not burning enough energy to boost their
metabolism. Therefore, disrupted daily healthy routines may cause weight problems
among people.

Another negative impact of stress would be indulging in unhealthy lifestyles which

can help them to gain extra kilograms. Overweight can be caused by eating a lot of
instant food or fast food that can easily be acquired by using food delivery services.
Lacking of sleep is already a hassle but to eat fast food like burgers, fries and soft
drinks every time they stay up late to finish some work will surely cause obesity.
Apart from that, alcoholic drinks or liquors can also be a reason to weight gaining
issues. This is due to the sugar content in each drink which is not healthy to be
consumed in a huge amount. However, people who indulge in alcoholic drinks will
not stop their habits because they thought alcohol can ease themselves from all the
negative stress that is torturing their mind. Thus, stress could actually make people fat
by indulging in unhealthy lifestyles.

To summarize, a small number of people might lose weight due to excessive stress
in life. However, there are many people who will gain weight because they could not
do anything to fight against their dreadful situations in life. Stress had changed people
habit of eating, disrupt their routines and lead to unhealthy lifestyle. For those
reasons, I believe that stress do make people fat. To those kinds of people, eating and
drinking
activities can help them to overcome so many difficulties in life which resulting them
to be obese due to the excessive food intake

Write an essay suggesting ways to stay healthy

Health is wealth and for that reason, we must take a good care of ourselves. In order
for us to enjoy life, we must start somewhere and take health issues seriously.
Whether we like it or not, we are bound to grow old but it is not the reason for us not
to take care of our health starting now. There are many plausible ways to stay healthy
and make sure we keep our health in checked. Therefore, in order to stay healthy, we
have to start by consuming nutritious food, exercising regularly and having a regular
health check-up

Living life healthily should start with what we eat daily. By consuming healthy food,
we are on the right track to stay healthy. Take a lot of food which contains good
carbohydrate and a lot of fibre like bananas or apples to ensure our body have
sufficient energy to process in a day. Apart from that, do not forget to consume plenty
of water in a day to help digesting the food as well as replenishing our energy for the
day. Water is essential in our life to keep us going healthily. In addition, a healthy
balanced diet by following the food pyramid will help us to lose some unwanted
weight that might affect our daily routine too. With that stated, avoid food with high
in sugar and salt like popcorn and crackers. We should avoid processed food like
ready-made minced meat or chicken nugget whereby it might contain trans-fat which
can increase the risk of heart disease. With that stated, eating right and drinking a
good amount of water are critical to stay healthy.

On top of that, exercising regularly should be a part of our busy life. This is crucial
for our well-being as we are busy working or studying, we tend to neglect the
importance of exercises towards our physical and mental health. Regular exercises
like jogging, walking and swimming release endorphins which help us to feel good
for that day. When we feel good, we will feel happy and it helps us to boost energy
for the whole week. Moreover, it only takes 30 minutes of our busy schedule to
exercise. We can have regular exercises three times in a week because exercises help
to reduce back pain and sore muscles after a long week of working or studying. If
exercising seems too hassle to do it alone, we can ask our family members or close
friends to do it together. Strolling in the park while talking to each other is another
form of exercising too. While walking for at least 30 minutes, we can burn
unnecessary calories as well as sharing problems with one another. In that way, we
are actually having fun while exercising. Hence, regular exercises need to
be carried out consistently for us to be healthy.

Lastly, we should have a regular health check-up. As we grow older, we should be

able to detect some changes in our own body and that is the reason why we should go
for a regular check-up. It can be done once in six months or even once in a year
depending on how old the person is. Regular health check-up is imperative for
someone’s health to detect unwanted disease or to have control of it. Diseases like
high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney failure and other chronic diseases need full
attention and the patients should seek treatment regularly according to the doctor’s
advice. Furthermore, it is never too early to have a regular medical check-up because
we would never know what is inside of our body due to our own lifestyles. That is
why it can be considered as one of the options to stay healthy due to the fact that if we
found out what is wrong with our body, we can take some critical measures to control
it before it spreads uncontrollably. Therefore, regular health check-ups should be
taken into consideration if we wanted to live a healthy life for a longer period of time.

As a conclusion, by consuming nutritious food, exercising regularly and having a

regular health check-up can help us to stay healthy for a long time. We would never
know what will happen in the future but we must always take a good care of
ourselves.
Moreover, our lifestyles can affect who we are and how we live our lives. If we have
healthy lifestyles, we would enjoy life to the fullest. To be healthy or not, it is
depending on our own will and nobody can force us to do things that we dislike to
indulge in. All in all, to live a healthy life is an option and we have the answer to it
whether we want to follow the path or not.

Practising Personal Hygience

As time marches on, practising personal hygience is being neglected by most people
despite the advancement of technology. Practising personal hygience means keeping
ourselves clean. It is essential for us to keep ourselves clean as lots of bacteria and
virus lurk in our living environment.

It is as easy as ABC to keep ourselves clean. We can start by washing our hands more
often. Washing hands can kill the germs on our hands. Besides, taking showers
regularly is also important because we can keep the germs away and prevent
ourselves from having an offensive smell. Another worth-mentioning way is that we
should brush our teeth twice a day so that our teeth will not decay easily.
There are numerous benefits to keeping clean. First, we will be able to avoid
infectious diseases such as chicken pox, measles and influenza. When we wash away
the germs on our body, we will lower the risk of getting sick. Secondly, it will boost
your self-confidence since a clean physical appearance is more likely to attract
friendlier reactions and more positive evaluations from others.

To summarise, I strongly agree that having good hygience is important to everyone. It

should be practised by us from time to time to keep transmissible diseases at bay.
