Why is the fitness industry growing
WHY IS THE FITNESS INDUSTRY GROWING?
why are we even talking about nutrition
health and fitness Stefan Bachelor of
nutrition and SXT fit today we're going
to talk about why is everyone talking
about nutrition health and fitness we're
talking about this subject because
there's been a change in society where
the need to exercise has shifted from
being automatically a part of our lives
is something we have to choose to be a
part of our lives
for example thirty-one point seven
percent of people in England in the
1800s worked in agriculture fast-forward
to 2012 and that numbers only one point
two percent old-style agricultural work
such as lifting iron blades high into
the sky then driving them hard into the
soil to harvest seeds and using one
strength to hold down the back of a
horse-drawn plow so that it can be
driven into the ground where seeds can
be sown this type of work was tough and
energy expending fast-forward to 2011 a
systematic review by Owen outlined that
we spent fifty to sixty percent of our
day without backs and our politics is on
those chairs as more people work sitting
down in front of those HP and Max
screens iPhones and Samsung galaxys our
risk of developing metabolic diseases
actually increases obesity is a major
risk factor for cardiovascular disease
cardiovascular disease was the leading
cause of death in 2012 so you can start
to see that nutrition health and fitness
is really important in today's age where
society's changed from working out in
the fields you know back in the day to
now sitting behind desks so who does it
affect well it affects everyone from
children to teenagers to adults and
elderly people children and teenagers
can set up their lives with good or bad
habits that are largely influenced by
their parents adults will then go on to
follow those habits that they've
developed as children and as teenagers
ultimately elderly people will pay the
price or benefit from the choices that
they've made throughout their life in
regards to how they've eaten how they've
exercised and how they've kept them
ongoing so ultimately nutrition health
and fitness affects everyone when does
this change occurred from working into
the farms to now sitting in offices from
the Industrial Revolution
which is the main reason why our economy
functions the way it is today and that
happened in the 1800s so within 200
years we've seen a change in how people
are exercising and eating in their day
so where is this taking place it's
taking place all around the globe in
developed countries such as America
United Kingdom Australia but it's not
immune to developing nations as well
such as India and also West African
nations are also starting to see a need
for exercise regimes fitness advice
health advice as obesity rates are
starting to increase in low and middle
calm sectors so why is it important to
know about nutrition health and fitness
but without it we can develop obesity
which can lead to many chronic diseases
such as type 2 diabetes hypertension
which is high blood pressure and
cardiovascular disease as mentioned
before ladies and gents most of us live
in a place in the world where more
people die from obesity than we do from
starvation which is absolutely crazy to
think of as of 2016 nearly 40% of all
people over the age of 18 were
overweight that is some staggering stuff
so we talked about this change from our
lifestyle of you know going from working
in the farms to now sitting behind
computers for the majority of people how
is this change occur well it's taken
place because it companies have gotten
bigger
economies have gotten larger and
technology has gotten more advanced I'll
give you an example why would I go to a
farm and individually use a shovel or a
pickaxe and plant seeds when technology
advances have meant that we have
tractors that a massive a massive scale
that they can go through the farms go
through the lanes go through the plant
lanes and they can uproot the plants
uproot the ground
plant the seeds for us so that's an
example of technology advances we talk
about companies getting larger and
bigger being come
okay they developed insulin
infrastructure to develop those tractors
so companies getting bigger more
tractors we don't need to be physically
out there in the farms working okay so
we can start to see that things changes
in jobs changes in the way we live
changes in how we exercise and how we
eat so guys to sum up today's video our
lifestyles have changed over time and
this has affected what we eat and how
much exercise we do on a daily basis it
has changed due to company advances
advances in technology and that's led to
job changes so this is resulted in more
people suffering from over nutrition and
obesity
rather than starvation which is
absolutely crazy considering 200 years
ago
in 1820 94 percent of the population
lived in absolute poverty this means I
lived without the basic necessities of
food water shelter and medicine so when
we turn to Instagram when we turn a face
but when we turn to YouTube and we see
so many people talking about fitness
health and nutrition hopefully now we
understand why but has been taken out of
our normal daily life so now we have to
compensate and refill it by going out
there and looking for it does that make
sense guys that's it for today please
