Due to the psychological anxiety caused by the Corona disaster
Generation Z pays attention to their physical health

Many young people in the Philippines had their mental and physical health damaged by the strict regulations of the Corona disaster. generation Z tended to suffer from anxiety about the future and mental stress caused by economic problems, and it was not uncommon to see people close to them suffering from mental health problems. For this reason, even today in After Corona, people are becoming more sensitive to their mental and physical health. In response to this situation, some private schools have begun to address concerns and mental health problems and offer counseling.
Generation Z is becoming more attentive to their physical health as well as their mental health. One Gen Z man said, “Many of the cases of serious illness due to coronas were people with adult diseases. I feel that the conventional food culture in the Philippines is unhealthy, and I feel threatened by the situation where there are many cases of illnesses due to lack of exercise”. Another male from Generation Z said, “When I look at middle-aged and older Filipinos, many of them have a big belly. We don't want to be like that,” he said. This sense of beauty is a result of American and Korean celebrities influencing Generation Z in the Philippines as influencers, and the desire to enjoy fashion and style like them is making more and more Generation Z members conscious of their body shape. Due to the growing health and beauty consciousness of Generation Z, who experienced ill health due to restricted freedom, gyms that had been closed due to the Corona Disaster regulations have reopened for business and are bustling with activity.

Life expectancy is short in Asia, and the number of people taking supplements to support health is on the rise.
