My essay:

Health is always one of the most significant concerns of human beings, and worryingly, it is predicted that the health status of people in the future will be declined. In my opinion, this is very likely to be true.

To begin with, technological advancements will have dramatic influences on people's life and health, specifically, causing people to be less active. Technology will make everything become so convenient that people will not need to make physical effort to achieve a task, or to get around. For example, online shopping allows people to shop for everything just by sitting in front of the screen and clicking the mouse instead of getting out and going to physical shops. This trend has gained more and more popularity, and is projected to increase to even replace the traditional shopping method in the future. Thus, people will not to get out of the house and do much.

Moreover, there will be changes in people's work and lifestyle in the future to afford the comfort and convenience that technology brings to them. To be more specific, people would have to work for longer hours to make more money, therefore, they will not have much time to exercise. In addition, with a busy and long working schedule, people are likely to spend less time on cooking but consuming fast food or pre-packaged food instead to save time. This change in lifestyle also will affect their health because fast food or pre-packaged food are not as nutritious as home cooked food.

In conclusion, it is clear that the average health standard of people will be lower in the future.
