Nowadays people have a lot of different problems with their health. Some people think that now teenagers are not as healthy as they were fifty years ago, whereas others consider that they are healthier than before. In this essay I will try to express my opinion on this issue.
In my opinion, today`s young people are not as healthy as they were before. First of all, now they like to eat different junk food such as chips and fast food which is very harmful.
efore teens ate only healthy food, so they had fewer problems with their health.
ut it is worth noting that this was due to the fact that at that time there was not such a large selection of food. Most people ate only food prepared at home, without being able to buy junk food. I`m almost sure that if they had the opportunity, today's children wouldn't seem any less healthy than them. Secondly, today`s teenagers are not as physically strong as they were before. They do not exercise, prefer to stay at home than to spend time outdoors. During those times young people liked physical activities, they were stronger than now.
There are people, who have the opposing opinion. They suppose that now teenagers are healthier than before. They think that today`s young people like going to gyms or go on hiking in forests. So, they are sure that now teens care about their health more than before.
However, I can not agree with a mentioned idea because there are some teens now who really care about health. Most teenagers don`t go to gym because it is expensive and they don`t do sport at home because they are lazier than before.
ut it does not mean that all of them are all like that. There are still a lot of peaple who love different sport activities and games, such as football, basketball, baseball or tennis.
Taking into consideration different opinions on this issue, I am sure that today`s teenagers are not as healthy as they were fifty years ago. Young people have more problems with their health than they had before.
