Good health is a basic human need With the widespread use of cars and computers in this era, physical fitness is becoming a serious concern for citizens. Some of them urgently appeal to the government to take measures to address the issue, while thers claim thath such sppeal violates their freedom of choosing their own lifestyles. Apparently, when providing us with convenience, many advanced technologies also produced adverse effects. For instance, compared to the past, the vast majority of people nowadays lead a sedentary life without adequate exercise, young white collars are suffering chronic diseases which usually exist in the senior citizens. It is imperative for the government to take measures to tackle the issue. On the other hand, if the authority encourages more people, especially the youngsters, to engage in sports and physical activities, the subsequent medical expenses will be saved, which allows the government to allocate a large portion of money to other aspects such as education, healthcare and etc. As a result, the practice is undoutedly beneficial to the national economy as a whole. However, the protection of people’s freedom of choosing whatever lifestyle they want should and will not be ignored. Actually, the recent efforts of building a democratic society in our nation deserved the credit. But freedom is not an excuse for one to be lazy. What’s more, the government doesn’t compel people to do vigorous exercise like what athelets do. What the government advocate is that every one put a premium on health issue and avoid suffering the consequences of eating too much junk food or doing too little physical exercise. In conclusion, freedom is not incompatible with sports or dieting. On the contrary, through doing useful exercise, one will release pressure and indirectly contribute to the economic growth. As the say goes, such practice is “to kill two bird with one stone”
