29. In today’s time, doing well at studies and scoring high marks in examination is the sole 4
focus of many students and their parents. Many consider taking part in sports and

fit body is a must for a fit mind. Currently, wellness and fitness are part of a better
lifestyle and this is gradually gaining importance. People now understand that both these
are multidimensional and interlinked. Physical fitness is the ability to carry out tasks
without undue fatigue. This shows our ability to do daily activities without getting tired

prematurely. Wellness takes into account a balance between physical, mental and

m
.co
spiritual aspects of life and thus is multidimensional. Lifestyle is determined by our

e m
s
culture, needs, family belief and social class. Modern lifestyle comes with a lot of

e m advantages. Scientific development has made daily living easier and with the aid of
la
las ag
modern medicines, we are able to prevent diseases and communicate better. However, it

ag

less social and time for community activities has been replaced by individual activities.
These distractions have altered family values and social distances have widened.
Keeping this in mind, answer the questions below:
(A) The way we choose to live on a daily basis is called?
(B) Differentiate between physical fitness and wellness.
(C) Mention one advantage and one disadvantage of modern lifestyle?
