some people say that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sport facilities. Others, however, say that this would have little effect on public health and that other measures are required. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Health
, they say, is wealth. Some people have suggested that the
health
of the public would be best achieved by creating more sport facilities, while others do not agree. They believe other steps need to be taken beyond providing more facilities.
This
essay will discuss both sides of
this
debate. I believe that,
in as much
(followed by as) in such a degree; in such a manner; seeing that; considering that; since
inasmuch
as the presence of sporting arenas are essential, other factors still need to be considered.
To begin
, sport participation has been found to improve fitness. An increase in the facilities available for
this
would likely enhance public participation.
In addition
, with the recent rise in mental
health
issues, the centres can serve as places for socialization,
such
that not only physical
health
is improved but
also
mental
health
. A study done at Cambridge university has found that exercise and physical activity is the safest mode of prevention for over 90% of noncommunicable diseases worldwide.
Although
, developing more arenas is advocated, community involvement is key. Some people think
health
is not improved by just increasing the number of infrastructure. That

Health
is not only maintained by exercise, other measures
such
as improving food production and dietary habits play a major role too. If all a person does is exercise without a good diet,

has little implications. I think good
health
is only attainable when there is a balance in the provision of basic amenities
