Prompt: Some people believe that it is the responsibility of individuals to take care of their own health and diet. Others however believe that governments should make sure that their citizens have a healthy diet. Ċ Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In this fast-moving world, where people are walking hard from day to night in the blind run behind aggressive materialization so unable to cope with a healthy lifestyle which ought to be emphasized as “health is wealth”. Some segments of society reckon that people should take care of their health and food; however, counterparts of the society insist that it is the liability of the government to see their mankind have good health. Though both have their pros and cons as per everyone’s perspective. Therefore, before commenting on my decision, both opinions would be discussed. Ċ To embark on, there is no doubt for some people who would like to take responsibility for the diet individually. Firstly, they believe that adults have a free life and can make their own choices about what they eat and what exercise they do. For example, various studies conducted in the USA confirmed that everyone should take food as per their calories requirements to maintain fitness. Furthermore, everyone should do some physical exercise to sustain their strength. Thus, such basic care by people can lead to an improved state of health. Ċ Why government should take obligation for their citizen? The underlying reason behind this is that they should restrict the advertisements of unhealthy products like tobacco, cigarette, alcohol. To further corroborate the above view, a Harvard Health Alumni Study (2015) revealed that 50 per cent of people suffered from chronic gastritis disease due to an unhealthy diet in their daily routine because of addiction to alcohol. If the state government prohibit the manufacture of unnatural food, this will lead to a healthy lifestyle among communities. Moreover, the government should host some tv programs or seminars which give proper knowledge about health and diet. The more the government efforts, the better the health is. Ċ In conclusion, although it is the authority of both to take care of their physical state, everyone should know more about their health. As per my perspective, individuals only know more about their body and diet rather than any other so we should become doctors for ourselves.
