It is true that many people today are adopting healthy eating habits and taking regular
exercise. Some reasons for these trends can be identified, and more measures could be
taken to encourage others to follow suit.
The growing desire for a healthy lifestyle is principally a result of education. In terms of
food, children in schools in developed countries are now provided with a healthier diet,
and may even be offered a vegetarian or vegan diet. There are also more websites and
magazines that encourage people to eat a balanced diet with a high proportion of fresh
fruit and vegetables. From the perspective of regular exercise, health awareness
campaigns are making people conscious of the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle and
promoting various ways to keep fit. Even elderly people are encouraged to take gentle
exercise, such as walking or swimming.
More should now be done to campaign for healthy eating and the benefits of getting into
shape. Firstly, national and local authorities must allocate resources to the promotion of
healthy eating. For example, a very successful campaign in the United Kingdom a few
years ago used the slogan of ‘5-a-day’, making the public aware of the benefits of eating
a minimum of 5 portions of fruit and vegetables every day. Secondly, governments
should provide funding for more sports facilities. The majority of the population should
have free access to a local sports centre where they could work out at the gym, swim or
take part in exercise classes.
In conclusion, education has played an important role in encouraging people to exercise
and to eat more healthy food. If governments devote more resources to promoting these
trends, then even more people are likely to make these healthy choices
