Doing sports regularly is a good way for people to improve their health condition. However, I do not think it is the best way as the improvement of public health needs the combination of different ways.

Proper and regular sports can build our body and make it strong, because they contribute to the absorption of nutrition and the refreshment of our organs. Also, sports can reduce the speed of aging process. For example, people who go running everyday are physically younger than their peers. If there are more facilities built, people would have more access to sports which would encourage citizens to get involved in doing exercise. However, sports do not always work. Doing sports only can not cure sick people, so it is necessary to offer appropriate medical treatment for patients. Sometimes, excessive sports may even cause the opposite result. For example, if people who catch cold continue doing intensive sports as usual, the situation may become even worse.

In my opinion, to improve public health, the government should allocate funds in different fields such as local medical system and sports facilities instead of pouring all the investment in one particular area. Apart from strenthening hardware facilities, there should also be professional guidelines for citizens. For example, people should have the opportunity to receive advice from professional tutors about the suitable sports which can improve their health according to their condition.

In conclusion, doing sports is not the best but a necessary way to keep fit and stay healthy. Increasing the number of sports facilities may have desired results if citizens are well guided.
