The
desire
for
good
health
is
universal.
From
past
to
present,
people
have
been
striving for physical fitness through
any possible ways. The fundamental importance
of
being
healthy
makes
itself
a
permanent
topic.
Recently,
people
begin
to
ponder
over a question: is it easier to
maintain good health nowadays than it was in the
past?
As far
as
I
am
concerned, modern people
are
more
likely
to
achieve
a
good
health
than
people in the past. My reasons and examples are
given below.

Firstly,
advanced medical technology makes it possible to
control and cure diseases in
an
effective
way.
With
the
rapid
development
of
science
and
technology
come
breakthroughs
in
medical
science,
which
has
been
pushing
medical
treatment
to
a
higher level. Scientists have found
ultimate solutions to many diseases that used to
be
fatal,
maintaining
people’s
health
and
extending
people’s
lifespan.
For
example,
smallpox, an
already
-
eradicated disease,
was once a number
-
one killer
engulfing tens
of thousands
of people’s lives. Thanks
to
the invention of a certain
vaccine, people
could put an
end to this rampant disease.

Secondly,
it
is
easier
for
modern
people
to
get
access
to
sports
facilities
than
for
people
in
the
past.
With
the
government’s
mounting
investment
in
the
population’s
physical
quality, people, especially those
living in
the city,
can
find sports
facilities
almost
everywhere
such
as
basketball
courts
or
Ping
-
Pong
tables
throughout
the
neighborhoods.
Apart
from
the
efforts
made
by
the
government,
people’s
growing
awareness of keeping fit makes health
and fitness a giant business. For example, gyms,
skating rinks, and bowling alleys
become hits all over the world. Undoubtedly, those
easily accessible sports facilities
furnish all citizens with a chance to be
healthier.

弃不健康的生活方式，他们的身体状况会变好。

Admittedly, the yearning for a better
life and intense competition bring modern people
unprecedented
stress.
Most
people
are
not
able
to
keep
a
regular
life.
For
instance,
they go to bed too
late and choose to smoke or drink alcoholics as a
way to release
pressure, which puts
them in the state of
sub
-
health. However, as long
as they could
realize
the
importance
of
health
and
give
up
unhealthy
lifestyles,
their
health
condition will be
much better.
