Some people claims that it is harder to maintain good health in the past because of the pressure of workloads and the pollution of air in modern society. Although some factors which exist in our society contribute to the badness of health, I will say that nowadays it is easier to maintain good health than in the past without hesitation since the advancement of agriculture, the development of medical methods and the improvement of dwellings.

  Food, as substances which sustain people’s lives, play a indispensable role in people’s health. In the past, a large amount of people died every year because the lack of adequate food. In 1964, a big famine occurred in China and over three millions Chinese people were starved. But nowadays, as the progress of agriculture, such as the efficient irrigation system and the productive seed are invented and introduced to agriculture, that allows us to have enough food to sustain our lives. Further, the advancement of farming not only offer us enough food but also make us more healthy because of some creative inventions. For example, there are a specific kind of corn sold at China’s market, this corn is called fruit corn. It tastes like usual corn but mixed with apple flavor. This kind of corn contain tenfold Vitamin C than that of regular kinds of corns so that it is very good for health.

  Secondly, like an used car which are driven by one for several years are likely to break down, our body will have some illnesses in someday. And more, we are supposed to maintain our cars to avoid it breaks down in certain day. Nowadays, the development of medical methods allow us to aware the changes in our bodies and prevent certain diseases in advance. Heart attacks is a good example. The new techniques allow doctors to find out the possibilities of heart attacks that a patient has and give him or her some prevention measures such as pills to avoid him or her having heart attack. As the progress of medical technology, people are more and more longevous. A solid evidence supports my point: according to a survey which is created by professors in Peking University, in average, modern people live longer 15 years than the ancient people.

  Last but not the least, the improvement of our living environment is an important factor which contributes to our healthy. As the air conditioners are invented, we do not worry about the high temperature makes us dehydration. As the refrigerators are invented, we do not feel anxious about the rotting of our food. Not to mention the invention of can food. In the past, only rich class has the advantage in employing people cut down ice in winter and keep the ice in basements that the ice can be used in summer to keep food fresh. In modern society, every one can enjoy the refrigerators which make lives more convenient and simple.

  In conclusion, in my perspective, due to the advancement of agriculture, the development of medical methods and the improvement of dwellings, we can live more healthy than the people did who lived in the past.
