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 these views and give your own opinion.
It is considered that having more
sports
facilities will boost public health
, but however
, some think other things have to be put in place alongside. This
essay will discuss both ideas and my opinion on the matter.
On one hand, some persons believe that more sports
facilities should be available to enhance public health
because experts are advising regular exercise for optimal health
. That is
, individuals should do more physical activities in other to stay healthy and having more sports
centres that are easily accessible will make plenty of people indulge in sports
thereby improving public health
. For example
, a school in Lagos named Leads university created more sports
centres and kept bicycles on every electric pole within the university premises so students can cycle to their various classes and also
make use of the centres regularly hence
, improving their health
. This
is considered an efficient way to promote people's health
in society.
On the other hand
, I think there are other ways to improve societal wellbeing, as just providing more sports
facilities are not enough but creating public awareness on diet
will be adequate. That is
to say, just exercising and not having a good diet
plan will do less good because the inadequate diet
is one of the leading causes of illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, etc, in our world today. For instance
, 80 per cent of children in a school in Lagos eat fast foods every day and do not get to eat fresh food and fruits frequently and this
lead to a lot of them coming down with obesity. Health
submits should be made to the general public on the effect of diet
on their wellbeing.
To conclude, some individuals feel that there should be more sports
equipment for good health
because it is advised that steady exercise improves health
but I think that the public has to be aware that other measures like watching their diets are also
needed for optimal living.Submitted by idoghojennifer on
