Why is it important that we have a healthy society?

- It is crucial to work hard for a healthy society; it does not come easily or
quickly. It is important to have a healthy society because all citizens will
have access to a good education, safe and healthy housing, sufficient
employment, transportation, physical activity, and nutrition, as well as
good health care. By having a healthy society this prevents us from
having chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease that
are caused by unhealthy societies.
