IMPORTANCE OF

VACCINATION AND
HOW TO PREVENT
SEDENTARY
LIFESTYLE
DURING THIS ERA
Health is the greatest wealth we can have in our entire
existence. Health varies amongst individual’s choices, one
may choose to be healthy or value one’s life and one may
not. In this period of life, we’ve encountered so many crisis,
a very good example of this is the global pandemic. This
pandemic paved the way to extinction of humankind,
luckily it never happened. A high percentage of people
suffered death and lives were affected so much.
Many chose to live sedentary out of it and many never
accepted the reality that was given. And all these are caused
by lack of discipline, lack of control, and lack of self-
management towards handling our own life. Life is
beautiful but life can be full of surprises that we can not
expect what will happen in the future.
What is Corona Virus (Covid-19)?

It is defined as illness caused by

novel coronavirus now called severe
acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; formerly
called 2019-nCoV), which was first
identified amid an outbreak of
respiratory illness cases in Wuhan
City, Hubei Province, China.

people, while those with underlying medical problems
like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic
respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to
develop serious illness.
 Although all age groups are
at risk of contracting COVID-
19, older people face
significant risk of developing
severe illness if they contract
the disease due to
physiological changes that
come with ageing and potential
underlying health conditions.
