Abstract
Today people expect advanced state-of-the-art diagnostic tools such as imaging and genomics to enhance their health and well-being, while simultaneously neglecting and ignoring their body’s physiology and what it requires for healthy development. An example testifying to this fact is the emerging increase in childhood and adult obesity across the globe (1). A factor contributing to this issue may be our belief that because technology makes us more efficient and productive, it gives us more time for a healthier active lifestyle; however, the opposite scenario seems true. The time and effort we might devote to physical activity, we replace with sedentary, passive activities that involve interacting with electronic media (2). We are so easily fascinated by acute informational access and the immediate rewards of computer games, web searches, and social media that they displace and distort our time substituting for the pleasure of physical activity.
