Essay Writing Sample 11 - Some people think that being healthy is not that easy

Is being healthy really difficult? Some people think that being healthy is not that easy. Do you agree? 

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle has always been a topic of discussion for ages. Today, the importance of a healthy lifestyle is increasing more than ever. Although some people think that having a healthy lifestyle is challenging for them, I think all people can pursue a healthy life.

     Initially, many people believe that they have to eat only insipid foods for being healthy. Today, it is really hard to do these because almost every person has a hectic schedule and does not have time and energy. Also consuming natural products may be pricy for them. This push people to consume convenience food which is much cheaper but not healthy.  In addition, in order to be healthy, it is believed that people have to do difficult exercises every day. In other words, if they want to be healthy, they need to go to gyms and spend long hours doing exercise. However, as they are tired, they prefer to have a rest rather than do exercise.  

    On the other hand, in my opinion, if an individual really wants to lead a healthy life, all these seem just flimsy excuses. They do not have to remove unhealthy foods from their lives. By reducing the amount of food they like, they can lead a healthy life. For instance, they can eat just a piece of chocolate with coffee or they can eat meat with vegetables. Also, they do not have to lift the weight.   They may take a small walk at the workplace.  The most important factor for ones’ health is consuming water. All people should consume at least 2 litres of water. The water is not pricey and most people can find it easily.

     In conclusion, even though people have a hectic schedule, there are many alternatives for leading a healthy life. By applying these alternatives in their daily routines, all people can stay fit.
