The Nature rewards people who treat her best. People who utilise mornings for a walk are fit in a way boosting their immunity. And, people who stay indoors, use gadgets, computers etc. with more carbon emissions, not only harm their health by becoming obese, but also harm nature. So, yes more the technology more we have distanced ourselves from nature.
Summary:
The article begins with the fact that any fat woman is called an American. Then the article goes on to elaborate that there are so many changes in human lifestyle because there is an increasing divorce between human and habitat. An average young American spends practically every minute except for the time in school-using a gadget like smartphone. People keep away from the nature whereas interacting with nature could in one way or the other boost the immunity of people.
