Essay

Health is an integral part of our lives. However, the choice of food on offer is overwhelming and we are constantly tempted to eat junk food. Because of this, it is essential that we encourage people to eat healthily.

First of all, let's look at television advertising. It is an undeniable fact that this is the most efficient method of promoting a healthy lifestyle as the majority of people spend most of their time in front of the TV and they can be easily influenced to buy certain products. Also, having celebrities advertising this way of life can have a great impact on people watching. While I can see some benefits, these can be outweighed by the fact that too much junk food appears in TV spots and it is no wonder that everyone's overweight.

Another way of encouraging is education is schools. It is essential that children develop healthy habits from an early age as what they lean then will last them a lifetime. Moreover, having teachers who not only explain why this topic is important, but live healthy lives, is crucial as children will consider them as role models and easily implement what they teach. Furthermore, it is of vital importance that children so some kind of sport and be active because it is as important as leading a healthy lifestyle.

Taking all the arguments into account, I strongly believe that being properly educated about food and exercise will be more useful to people as it will benefit them in the long-term.
