State the implied overall conclusion of the arguments below.
More than 3.5 million people in Britain - 6% of the population - belong to a gym or fitness club, presumably thinking that exercise improves their quality of life. However, growing numbers of scientists accept that punishing workouts are unnatural for the human body and may ultimately impair physical fitness, as demonstrated when Jim Fixx, the American pioneer of jogging, collapsed and died at the age of 52.

Although we regard ourselves as much healthier than people a hundred years ago, we suffer from far higher rates of cancer, Alzheimer’s, motor neurone disease and other such illnesses. This can be explained by our fast-paced, high-pressure, consumer-orientated urban lifestyle.

People who play violent video games are more aggressive, more likely to commit violent crimes and less likely to help others. This is supported by many studies which have found this link and also found that players are more likely to be tense, frustrated, suffer from stress-related illnesses and ADHD. This can be explained by the way violent video games activate the fight or flight mechanism, but provide no natural way to release it. A real fight, or a real flight, would release the body’s adrenaline in a healthy way.
