Write an essay discussing two of the measures in your notes.

Health has been a well-discussed topic for the past few decades: from its
importance on every each individual’s wellbeing and happiness to its impact on
the society. So what can be done or better said how can we encourage people
to live a healthier lifestyle?

Clearly, education and family environment play a huge roll in this matter. The
food choices made by a parent for their children can drastically impact their
children’s development. Also, starting from primary school, children should be
taught about the importance of exercise and a balanced diet. A healthy lifestyle
will not only benefit them health-wise but will also improve their performance
academically speaking. But it shouldn’t be stopped there. Adults should also be
taught or warned about the importance of an active and healthy lifestyle,
through, for example, TV documentaries, radio shows, newspaper articles etc.

Education alone is not enough. People should also have easy access to a
healthy lifestyle through different facilities. Starting from public gyms to
different classes and activities that suit every each every person’s tastes and
abilities, people will find having an active lifestyle enjoyable and easy to
maintain.

Of the two measures outlined above, I believe education is the far more
effective one. Normalizing treating your health as a priority should be taught in
schools as well as in the home environment. After all, through education, a
person will learn why it is better to go to an exercise class than to lie on a couch
in front of the television.
