Some people say the best way to improve 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.

Public

health

is a growing concern, with many countries reporting increasing levels of obesity. Some believe the problem can be addressed by adding more sports

facilities

Use synonyms

, while others think

this

may not be enough. A closer look at the problem will help in assessing these views. Adding sports

facilities

Use synonyms

would certainly be an attractive idea to some.

However

Linking Words

,

this

Linking Words

proposal does assume that the main reason

people

Use synonyms

are unhealthy is that they

lack

Use synonyms

access to

such

facilities

Use synonyms

. In reality, a combination of factors is to blame for plenty of public

health

Use synonyms

issues, and a

lack

Use synonyms

of exercise is only one of these. Among other key factors are poor diet, work stress, and a

lack

Use synonyms

of

time

Use synonyms

to address them.

Furthermore

, sophisticated equipment is not essential for getting fit; walking or running in the streets would

Thus

, if a

lack

of

facilities

is not responsible for current

health

problems, simply adding more will not solve them. Clearly, other measures are required to improve public

health

. If

people

lack

the

time

to take care of themselves,

then

we need to find a way to address

this

.

This

means that, as a society, we need to encourage the idea that taking

time

out from the pressures of work has

benefits. In

this

way, not only will work stress be reduced, but

people

will

also

have more

time

to exercise. The issue of diet can be tackled by persuading

people

to cook nutritious meals themselves rather than choosing a faster alternative.

Nevertheless

Linking Words

, these solutions will take

time

Use synonyms

and, for those who cannot reduce their working hours, are likely to be ineffective. Seemingly, when it comes to solving complex

health

Use synonyms

problems, there is no simple solution. In conclusion, in my view, giving

time

-poor

people

greater access to sports

Use synonyms

will not be effective and is too simplistic a solution. Other measures are clearly required, but any action taken to improve public

health

requires a change in lifestyle, and

this

needs the cooperation of everyone involved
