These days, too many people maintain their health by relying on doctors and medicine, rather than by following a healthy lifestyle. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Recently

people

prefer to put responsibilities on the medicine and doctors' shoulders to take care of their health rather than revising their lifestyles. It is widely accepted that medicine plays an increasingly important role in maintaining public health and reliance on it is enough alone for

this

purpose. I am convinced that

this

wrong belief is widespread in our society and a healthy lifestyle, which can be a passport to living a healthy life, is being overlooked.

This

increase can show that they are relying on medicine and are looking at

as an easy way to reciprocate their unhealthy habits. By looking at the rate of supplement sales in well-known companies like Costco, it is clearly observed that

people

prefer to obtain essential nutrients by taking supplements and continue having unhealthy diets.

have the same approach regarding their illnesses.
