TPO 73 discussion writing:Though people nowadays know and care more about health, the problem is, is it more challenging or easier for people to maintain good health today?

While I can see Claire’s point that compared with the past, economic growth has brought us a gratifying and healthy lifestyle, I align with Paul’s perspective that due to the increasing development of technology, individuals are more susceptible to unwholesome activities. As mentioned by Paul, with convenience introduced by cell phones and computers, citizens are prone to living a sedentary life, doing less outdoor physical exercises, eating more high-calorie and nutrition-deficient foods, so as to reduce the likelihood of maintaining health. Apart from what Paul has raised, I add that in comparison with the generations in the past, youngsters endure pressures in their personal and professional lives, which undermine their mental health, contributing substantially to a person’s health. Given the above reasons, it is undeniable that individuals in the contemporary era have more difficulty in gaining a healthy life.
