Many assume that people should take care of their health as an accepted responsibility for society’s sake rather than some personal fulfillment. I completely agree with this notion as I believe this way, people can cut down the money being spent on health care services for other development projects and that their nation would be saved from life-threatening diseases.
More advancements will be made in a country if its residents take into account their well-being. The more people care less about their health, the more they will fall sick, and they may require a lot of treatments. Thus the taxes that have been collected will be spent on curative and medical services because the government needs to decide where the money from taxes would go that can fulfill the needs of people. However, if people try to get into action all by themselves and look after their health, then health centers will have less expenditure, and eventually, the local government can invest the taxes in other societies – constructive plans as it has an efficient development budget.
Moreover, if people prioritize their health as serving their nation. As a result, they will keep it safe from dangerous illnesses. Usually, many health problems are caused by unhealthy eating and consuming foods that are high in sugar and fats, which eventually bring about obesity that will lead to heart problems, high blood sugar and pressure, and so on. Above all, most people are adopting eating substances that have no nutritional value, most like insects and small mammals; this unhealthy eating can cause contagious diseases that, by breaking out, can harm the whole country. A good example of this would be the Chinese man who has developed the COVID-19 virus by eating bats. If he had not eaten unhealthily, then the world would have never experienced a destructive phenomenon.
In conclusion, I firmly agree that individuals should consider prioritizing their well-being more like a job than something as a personal gain because more development would be established. Also, their society will be secure from threatening diseases.
