Healthier Life in Nowadays 

Nowadays, the average life expectancy of the Earth’s population is at an all-time high. Many factors have contributed to this result, but the main reason people live longer now than ever before is that what we eat today are healthier than before.

The main reason people live longer now is that the overall does of modern society has been improved. This can be contributed by the advance in the agricultural production. Thanks to the efficient machine and the convenient transportation, food become more abound and cheaper than before. For example, frustrate more available today. In the past, summer fruits like strawberries and bananas are not available during the wintertime. Now because of the technology of the refrigeration and greenhouse, we can buy and eat any kind of fruit, no matter summer winter or not. This change allows people gain lots of vitamin and other nutritions, making a healthier life.

In additional to the advancement of technology, there have been a great improvement in nutrition science. Scientists and dietitians understand more knowledge now than the pass about what people really required in the daily diets. For example, if a person who is in vitamin deficiency, people would regard this as a kind of disease that could not be cured in the past. In contrast, today, the scientists and dietitians can give us some reasonable advice, eating more fruits and some medicine, to resolve the problem. So we hardly get sick and eat healthier.

Also, the urban gardens become more and more successful because they offer the freshest food for less cost and teach children about food production and healthy eating.

One reason for the successful urban garden is that it offers the freshest food for less costs, so people don’t have to waste time to select the food. According to the article “Eating Well: Less Science, More Common Sense,” a better option would be to grow and consume healthy food from an urban garden. People have access to more fresh fruit and vegetables from the urban garden. For example, while I may not have an urban garden, I can try to buy the food with the organic label. And try to have a healthy diet. 

That urban gardens can also been to teach children about food production and healthy eating is another reason that they become successful in Beijing. According to the article “Eating Well: Less Science, More Common Sense,” Michael Pollan states that urban gardens can teach skills that children can learn how to clean and prepare vegetables for meals and learn the knowledge about food production and healthy eating apply to children for all their lives. As people know that the most important study method for children is to practice by themselves. Also, children learn to develop healthy eating habits if they eat the things they have grown. For me, it is easily to make healthy food choices and eating habits. I usually do some simple things that learn to cook and plant a garden to have a better diet and healthier live.
