I'm surprised to read that India ranks third, after the US and China, in having the highest number of overweight people. It is mentioned that 41 million people are obese. We all are now aware that this obesity is the main cause for many health problems of an individual, but if you differentiate between overweight and obesity, which is usually done by Body mass index ratio. Obese people normally have very less physical activity while their intake is excess. Diseases like Diabetes, Hypertension, are the main serious problems obese people face. It is reported that the studies have proved that the smartphone technology has led to a sedentary lifestyle, as the mobility of an individual gets drastically reduced because a lot of time is spent on it while confining to chair or bed. Like TV addicts, the users of the smartphone may get relaxed with alcohol, sweets, and snacks. It was further reported that the number of hours spent on smartphones will be detrimental. More than five hours of continuous use for six months cause unwanted changes I believe. As I could notice, the dangers of smartphones are no less than the perils of Television as Smartphone are portable, have a lot of comfort, range, information and entertainment, it’s more injurious. Every innovation has its attendant risks. Let's be very careful in using smartphones.
