The american establishment has listed all the positive things that happen when a person takes up body building. There are numerous testimonies on how self confidence gets boosted, how better self image results and how you learn to be useful to society.
If body building provides all this, then why should not be included in the curriculum of colleges. School students will still be in a formative stage as far as this sport is concerned and hence it is wiser to attract their seniors in college as it is after college that they meet life head on and become useless to society when they are unable to face and meet its challenge. It is then that the term ‘anti-social’ is given to a person.This happens when your self esteem and self image are very low, when you lack confidence and feelt that the society owes you when often it is the other way around.
Other than the above mentioned positive aspects it also results in the practitioner developing good health which in turn is easy on your purse. Remember when you or your family falls ill, it only the physician who is happy, because he/she thrives on your ill health. A good body building life style becomes a habit and when the whole family is involved. the advantages you reap are manyfold. You bond as a family, knit well with friends and neighbours and if this is not for the betterment of society, then what is.
A good family means you have the confidence needed to go through life’s challenges successfully and this ultimately means the health of the nation is in good hands. Lesser spending on health leaves more to be spent on other necessary infrastructure which in turn make the country vibrant. But the bottom line is this, If states in a developing country like India can think on these lines, then why not other nations where this need is vitally felt. Think – it is always better to have a vibrant and healthy population which will spur the economic boom of a nation.
