The Impact of Digital Convenience Services on Sedentary Lifestyle and Public Health among Urban Youth

The rise of convenience-based digital services such as food delivery, ride-hailing, and instant grocery platforms has revolutionized urban living. However, this convenience may come at the cost of reduced physical activity, poor dietary habits, and increased sedentary behavior. This study investigates the behavioral shift caused by platforms like Zomato, Swiggy, Ola, Uber, Zepto, and Blinkit, examining their contribution to the rising health challenges among urban youth. Using a structured questionnaire and SPSS for analysis, findings reveal a direct correlation between frequent use of these services and decreased physical activity levels, indicating a need for digital wellness awareness.
