Recently, many people have maintained their health by relying on doctors and medicine instead of following a healthy lifestyle. In this essay, I will explain why I agree with this statement.
The progress in health science has changed peoples’ thoughts significantly in the past few decades. There were many diseases that people had to cope with on their own willingness in the past, such as diabetes and high blood pressure issues. However, the progress of medical science enabled them to prevent and solve their health issues easily by being on medications and they can see doctors to prescribe whatever they need for their health. This circumstance changed how people approach and maintain their health because people think that it is easier for them to be on medications rather than follow a strict healthy lifestyle be away from what they want to eat and to have enough exercise. Clearly, people taking more advantage of being on medication and seeing doctors rather than following a healthy lifestyle because it is easier for them.
Another reason for people relying on doctors and medicine is because lifestyle has changed compared to the past few decades. People work longer hours every day, leaving their homes early in the morning and coming back home late in Japan. This lifestyle is taking peoples’ private time to think and care about themselves to follow a healthy lifestyle. For instance, if people have shorter hours working, they will have enough time to exercise and have room to think about how they should be following healthy lives. However, for people with no time, it is hard for them to maintain their healthy lives without relying on medicine and doctors.
In conclusion, people taking advantage of seeing doctors and medicine, having a busy life, and not having enough time for themselves are making people rely on doctors and medicine instead of following a healthy lifestyle.
