Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Nowadays it is easier to maintain good health than in the past.
Health is a stuff that people are longing for. Whether it is easier to maintain good health than in the past is always discussed by people. When it comes to this issue, a vast majority of people claims that keeping fit is easier today, whereas, others hold the opposite view. Contrary to the opinion of most people is my heartfelt agreement with the view that it is extraordinarily more difficult to maintain health.
In the first place, the life pace is faster than before. Modern people have trouble in maintaining both physical and mental health. Hardly do people have amounts of time to prepare for their meals. For instance, young white collar workers are striving for their careers and devote most of their time to elaborate projects. They choose to substitute the dinner full of nutrition with the instant food. Overburdened people are under remarkable pressure that can not be released. In this circumstance, putting their body in a healthy condition seems to be really hard.
In the second place, overnutrition is a serious problem people should draw attention to. A survey, conducted by the Foundation of Chinese Adolescents' Health(FCAH), after polling thousands of children in Beijing, demonstrates that up to 20% of teenagers are overweight. People have access to various food due to boosted living standard. At the same time, advertisements make the products look better than they really are, resulting in people are curious about what they saw and try what they want frequently. Ingesting too much high-nutrition food definitely cause some diseases like high blood pressure, jeopardizing people's precious life.
Admittedly, scientific development and innovation undeniably benefit our daily life. However, their defects far outweigh the merits when we consider the chemicals added to food. Take milk as an example. Apart from protein and fat, it contains some chemicals to boost the flavor and color or prevent it from rotting. Some businessmen pursue high profits so that they use ,particularly cheap but harmful, chemicals with the similar function as an substitute to meet the unconscious consumers' need. High level of intake in the long term increases the risk of heart disease. Isn’t it a tough work to keep fit?
Considerable though the methods to make common citizens healthy that new society enjoys, it can not compete with the disappointing effects that modern situation brings about, when faster life pace, overnutrition with better life and vicious chemicals are taken into account. All reliable evidence lends support to the view that it is not easier to maintain good health than in the past.
