Topic 21: In general, people are living longer now. Discuss the causes of this phenomenon. Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.

Today people are living longer than ever before. Some of the main factors contribute to this. We can figure it out in our life style and our medical progress.
From my point of view, I am strongly convinced that if one desires to have a healthy body, he should have a good lifestyle. Many pieces of advice have been shared among us. Pieces of common advice, like no smoking, keeping fresh air within the room, exercising weekly, and eating more fruit and vegetables, are spread to everyone by newspapers, from TV, and from friends. It is the most likely visible benefit we get from the 21st century.
On the other hand, it is undeniable that medical researchers’ hard work has prevented a vast variety of diseases. For example, many years ago, many newborn babies were blind. There was no effective way to cure this before until scientists found that it came from the lack of vitamin A. After being prevented by supplying vitamin A for the newborn, the disease became a history. In addition, medical advances have made incurable diseases curable, such as polio, smallpox, tuberculosis, and even cancer. We now have more advanced ways to check our health condition. As a result, better life expectancy and quality are reasonably expected.
As an old saying goes “Health is wealth”. If we are an owner of a healthy body we can then afford to make our life qualified. This does help ensure our longevity.
