Core Tip	Mankind is transitioning towards a sedentary lifestyle where physical exercise is voluntary. This has led to a true epidemic of overweight and resulting health challenges including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and more. This affects people in low-, middle- and high- income countries. Traditional education and communication channels are insufficient to help minors to adapt their lifestyle to more healthy approach that balances physical exercise with balanced nutrition. Helping them to resilience against temptations by marketing and social media is a task for future generations, going far beyond medicine. New technologies need to be considered and used.
