Living in big cities is bad for people’s health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#cities #people’s #health
People
 tend to move out from the
countryside
 because there're many opportunities in a city.
That is
 the main reason which makes big
cities
 are crowded.
Although
 some
people
 think living in the
cities
 is a cause for bad
people
's health, I believe we can be healthy living there.
Firstly
, there are many places which help the public to get healthy
such
 as a big park, a gym, a sports club, and so on.
In addition
, the various places to get relaxing are located in the
cities
 as well
for example
 a spa, a game centre, a bar. To illustrate, the labourers can work out at the gym or run in the central park easily after their off-hours.
Moreover
, they can go to the spa on weekend for relaxing.
Consequently
, the workers have different options to release the stress after work. Another reason is that a lot of supplies produce and transport to the middle of the capital. Though, fresh vegetables and foods are grown in the
countryside
. Half of the crops are shipped to the
cities
 because there is a demand due to crowded
people
. The nation who live in the city has a variety of choices to choose as their foods.
For instance
, a housemaid just goes to a grocery store to buy vegetables which might import from other countries while the
countryside
 has no option but only crops they grow themselves. To summarize, I think
people
 who live in the city will stay healthy because there are a lot of facilities provided there.
Nevertheless
, two things which the government has to consider are how to encourage
people
 who live in the
cities
 to stay healthy and how to extend the civilization to the
countryside
 to reduce populations in the town.
