Some people think that in order to prevent people from disease and illness, governments should reduce environmental pollution and housing problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

More and more humans these days are suffering from various diseases and illnesses. Some might believe that in order to stop

this

from happening, governments need to instigate some measures to cure pollution and housing issues.

Although

these problems should not be underestimated, I believe there are other significant factors with regard to the prevention of health issues. Turning to the alleviation of pollution and housing problems, a number of approaches can be considered by governments in order for the problem to be solved.

Firstly

, they can encourage the public, allocating public transport so as to decrease the carbon footprint produced by exhaust fumes.

This

in turn will lead to higher air quality which people can breathe in

thus

helping them to have healthier lungs.

Secondly

, there could be some plans for building more residential dwellings in the immediate vicinity of industrial areas where the populace can easily commute to their workplaces riding a bicycle or going on foot. By doing these, chances are higher for people to benefit from better physical health.

However

, the other contributing factors should be better taken into account so as to solve

this

problem. Since having a well-balanced diet can serve as a catalyst for suffering from many chronic diseases,

such

as diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol, families should be motivated to opt for consuming healthier foods. One way to do

this

is by laying higher taxes on junk foods and drinks,

such

as soda so that families could be more inclined toward buying more nutritious food, vegetables, and fruits

for instance

. Another positive approach for tackling

this

could be the amount of time the public

on their physical health bar doing regular exercise.

This

means the more people have time to participate in fitness programs or even go for a brisk walk, the less likely they will become ill.

To conclude

,

while

governments are able to play a major role in controlling environmental and societal challenges, in order to help the prevention of many diseases, I maintain that residents in the community can

also

have a positive impact on

this

by maintaining a rich diet and exercising on a regular basis.
