Are people less healthy than in the past?

Nowadays there are more and more people who are less healthy than ever before, even when we have the resources to be healthy.

As the years go by, the amount of junk food we eat is increasing.The restaurants where you can buy junk food have become very popular, such as Burger King or McDonald’s. You can find more than one of those restaurants in the same town. Eating junk food is not too bad only if you eat it moderately. The problem is when you can’t stop eating that kind of food. Here is when it starts to have bad consequences such as obesity. We are less healthy than in the past, another example of it is the increase in people who smoke, especially young people, and the stress that most of people have in their work.

But at the same time we have the resources to be more healthy. We have more information than ever, we can have nutritional information, medicines, vaccinations. We have also a lot of effective diets, and you can find a gym in every town too, where you are able to learn how to keep fit, so it shouldn't be so hard to be healthy.

We have the resources to be more healthy. The only thing we need is to concern our shelves more with living a healthier life.
