Due to the advancement in technology, the lives of
people
 have been quite convenient. Since most of the activities that required physical efforts in the past along with mental ones are now done with minimal physical exertion.

willpower
 of staying healthy.
First
, the most prominent role is played by a person's
willpower
 in staying healthy because the whole human body functions and reacts according to the brain's instructions. If,
for instance

. Strong
willpower
 is what is needed. In conclusion, willingness to stay healthy is what is required in every individual to maintain
