What’s the best way of encouraging people to lead healthier lifestyle?

Nowadays, we live in a society in which people don’t know or haven’t been taught to
carry a healthy lifestyle: I think, for all of us, that being healthful is something we
strongly desire but seems impossible to achieve. So, how do we change this mindset?
Which are the best ways of promoting a health-conscious lifestyle?

Firstly, since most of the things we learn as kids come from school, I think it is of great
importance for kids to be taught about health from early ages. Talking and encouraging
young children about doing physical activities and having healthy meals is undoubtedly
crucial for them to develop a wholesome way of life ahead. As previously expressed in
the discussion, “If children understand the importance of good health, there won’t be a
problem in the future”, and I absolutely agree.

Furthermore, a strategic way to promote wellness in life is through television

advertising. It is well-known that most of the population watches TV, so, why not take
advantage of the fact that we all watch television, and use it to encourage and tempt the
people to start their fitness journey? The content of the advertisements can vary from
recipes, workout routines, or consequences of a sedentary lifestyle: this will give the
watcher a sense of motivation and strength.

To conclude, for me, the two best ways to encourage people to achieve a better lifestyle
are through education in schools and TV commercials. Both of them are effective and
will impact on many people’s way of living in the future.
