Some people say that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports 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 own opinion.

Public

health

issues have always been a long-term

problem

for many governments, and

this

has caused even more concerns these days with the ever-growing

number

of people suffering from modern diseases

such

as obesity or stress. While some people believe that the key to solving

such

a

problem

lies in the

number

of sports amenities at the public’s disposal, I would side with those who are of the opinion that more measures are needed. Investing in more sports facilities seems to be a feasible solution for some.

This

might be because the more equipment there are, the more convenient it is more for people to practice sports.

As a result

, the increasing

number

of equipment can act as an incentive for people to exercise more regularly.

However

, the

problem

of public

health

is a complicated one that stems from a variety of factors

such

as poor diet and work-life imbalance, and the lack of exercise is just one of them.

Therefore

, buying more sports equipment alone might be too simplistic a solution. Clearly, if the

problem

of public

health

is to be resolved, more measures will be required.

First

, the rapid development of the fast-food industry is to blame for the increasing

number

of people opting for

this

kind of food on a regular basis as an alternative to nutritious home-cooked meals, and

thus

, imposing a higher tax on

such

unhealthy food can curb the

number

of consumers and encourage people to switch to healthier options

instead

.

Second

, if people suffer from stress or other

health

conditions

as a result

of a lack of work-life balance, they should learn to prioritize their time more effectively.

This

means that they should seriously reflect on the way their time is spent and make a list of their top priorities at work and home, thereby optimizing their time to achieve their goals while still being able to balance their life. Seemingly, a change in lifestyle is essential in solving the

problem

. In conclusion, addressing the issues of public

health

via increasing access to sports amenities alone is not enough. I believe that other methods should be introduced and both the governments and individuals should join hands to make it happen.
