Essay for IELTS part 2 One of the main concerns of human life for many years has been health issues. It is often argued that the government should be responsible for improving the health of its nation. However, others believe that leading a healthy life is an individual choice. Personally, I feel both ought to assume the responsibility, and this essay will discuss these two views. On one hand that is obvious that individuals responsible for their own health. Many of us, undeniably, live in a society where people can take action and make decisions on what to eat and how to stay healthy. In many developed countries, nowadays, citizens have access to facilities that can help lead a healthy lifestyle including gym membership, affordable medicine and diverse options of nutrition products, all of which encourage good health and wellbeing. Although there are some illnesses that can not be unavoidable, people should and can manage their lifestyles to improve health. On the other hand, the government plays a vital role in developing facilities for a healthy life. An increasing number of fast-food chains nowadays brings a lot of health issues to the population due to the high percentage of sugar, salt and fat. The governments should regulate the ingredients of such food. In addition to that, governments all over the world should provide free access to hospitals to their nation, for example, people in Russia have this facility nowadays. Furthermore, if the government does not take action to improve awareness of the harmful consequences of smoking and drinking alcohol, people can be easily influenced by these bad habits. For instance, people should be encouraged by TV advertisements or on the street billboards to have a healthy lifestyle. In conclusion, without easy access to facilities provided by the government and without awareness of populations about the dangerous effects of some habits, people would be unable to care about their health properly. At the same time, individuals should make the right decisions among the huge variety of choices to stay healthy and wellbeing.
