Some individuals argue that the most effective means of enhancing public
health
is by providing an increased number of sports establishments. Others are of the view that it will have a minute impact on general well-being and that other means are needed.
This
essay will argue that building more physical activity
centres
will enhance the masses' well-being, and
also
state why I believe that awareness of other aspects
such
as improved dieting, regular
health
screening and environmental sanitation are necessary.
On the one hand, the availability of more sports facilities will lead to better
health
for the masses.
This
is because enacting more
centres
for sporting will encourage the culture of regular exercising, which will in turn help individuals to live a better life.
Thus
, obesity which is known to predispose people to various illnesses will be avoided, leading to a decrease in the mortality rate in the country.
For example
, when more gym
centres
are easily accessible, individuals in the country will be motivated to utilize its services.
On the other hand
, there are other means of contributing to the public well-being other than just the provision of more numbers of sports buildings. One major way of improving public fitness is by providing awareness or education on the importance of good dieting, regular
health
screening and environmental hygiene. The reason for
this
is that

show examples
the intake of a balanced diet, going for regular well-being check-up and environmental cleanliness, affects the totality of the individual
health
. As an adequate diet helps in boosting immunity, environmental sanitation eradicates breeding sites for disease vectors, while going for routine
health
visits allows for early detection and treatment of illnesses.
Furthermore
, I am
also
of the view that education in these areas mentioned above as it concerns
health
, will help in the prevention of illnesses.
For example
, the education of pregnant women on the importance of keeping their environment clean by clearing all stagnant water will destroy mosquito breeding sites has helped in reducing the maternal mortality rate in Nigeria.
In conclusion,
although
the availability of more sporting
centres
will improve the well-being of the people, I am of the view that insight into the need for an adequate diet, good environmental hygiene and regular
health
screening should
also
be considered.
Therefore
, appropriate authorities should provide seminars and outreach to the masses on primary
health
prevention components.
