In some societies it is increasingly common to try to achieve good health and fitness through physically demanding sports, special diets, or preventative medicine conventional or alternative. Some people, however, believe that the best way to stay fit and healthy is simply to lead a normal life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

For example

This
brings me to my second point. It is sometimes said that special

may be true.

.
Thirdly
, it is said that if
people
often go to the gym and get a big load, it would lead them to bone diseases because their muscles cannot withstand
such
loads.
Although
this
is undoubtedly true, I would argue that we can keep fit by doing simple exercises and don’t burden ourselves. When,
for example

. In conclusion, I believe that if we encouraged lazy
people
to exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle, we could have the benefits of all the ways to keep fit without its disadvantages.
