My Experiments With Laziness

It is well known that obesity is one of the manny problems having health implications and is a growing menace ! Well, compared to the life style people used to have about 2 to 3 decades ago,our lives today are more mechanised and are devoid of the need for physical labor.Inother words, we are rather  propelled into a sedentary lifestyle,while the technological advances have made life easier ! All these in a way are driving our lives to be sluggish and lazy.Naturally, with no major chances of the energy consumed being spent, we may put on weight and even may dive ourselves in to obesity too !

Well, a suitably  framed message that can stir,trigger and prompt an individual to dive into physical activity is a good solution ..The message may be some thing like “be active to avoid hefty health bills” OR “‘think of a while, of those dependent on you” OR  “your family needs your care for a longer time” OR “you should be an inspiration to your children” OR “children imitate the parents in many respects” OR “you have no right make your children physically and mentally weak “ OR “ your parents have lots of hopes on you “ etc etc.

A repeated exposure to such messages, ( either one or a combination of some, as felt fit ) if need be, either played as an audio or as a video, quite frequently would provide a kick in the butt. Of course, it needs tenacity as is the case with many things in life.Is it not ironical, that the principle of least effort also had its role in the cultivation of sedentary life style ? [Ex: we prefer to operate a remote rather than going to the set to tune it ]

You can see my next post only on Sunday the 19th !

I like to hear from you
