While a few individuals think that living in the countryside leads to a healthier lifestyle, there are also some people who believe that residing in cities has health advantages. Although both the views are discussed in the essay, I believe, the former one is better.
On the one hand, residing in the countryside has several factors which help in living a healthy lifestyle. To begin with, the air quality there is much clearer than cities due to less number of motor vehicles people use. It helps them to breathe more purified air leading to a healthy lung. Moreover, the countryside is more nature friendly as people tend to believe trees give life to humans. To cite an example, individuals living in the countryside get most of their resources from woods or river water so they preserve this gift of mother earth. Therefore, this leads to a healthier lifestyle.
On the other hand, living in cities has various health benefits. Firstly, cities have better infrastructure as compared to the countryside and provide facilities to the needy. Elderly people, for instance, who have pain in walking and stepping the stairs use the elevator provided in the building to reach their desired place without any difficulty. Secondly, cities have advanced healthcare systems leading to a faster treatment and also modern machines help doctors to diagnose a disease more accurately. Hence, cities provide health advantages.
To conclude, both the view points are discussed but personally I believe that people living in the countryside lead a healthy lifestyle as individuals residing in the cities.
