It is obvious that people are living longer than people who lived before. As people live longer, many people are interesting[ed] in discussing why people can live longer than people who lived in the past time. When considering people’s opinions about the reasons for why people have longer lives, there are a variety of points of[omit] views to be considered. Some people seem to think that improving public hygiene is the key to prolonging human’s lives; another[other] people tend to consider that people learn how to eat different kinds of nutritious food so as to keep their bodies healthy; however, the other[some] people are apt to suppose that medical researchers spare no effort to invent new drugs and useful medical instruments with an eye to treating all kinds of diseases. From my point of view, I think the above three reasons can account for why people live longer now. In the following contents[omit], I will detail the reasons for why people have longer lives.
First of all, people can live longer today because governments make efforts in developing public hygiene systems such as the sewage system of the cities and the anti-epidemic stations. There is no denying that there are fewer epidemic diseases in the present time because neat and tidy[clean] environments[omit] can prevent us from being infected with fatal infectious diseases. That is to say, all sources of infection like flies, cockroaches and mosquitoes have no proper surroundings to live due to neat and tidy environments. For example, in the middle of age[middle ages], people who lived in European continent had no idea about the black plague, they lived together[omit] with rats so that[omit] they were inflected[inflicted] with the Black Death eventually. This epidemic disease became a nightmare for Europeans in that period and caused a lot[alot] of people to die. From what is mentioned above, we can conclude that if we have public hygiene systems, we can own the[?] clean environments to wipe out contagious diseases.
Secondly, nowadays people have more professional healthful[haelthcare] knowledge than people who lived before. In other words, people know how to eat well and what nutritious food is in order to stay healthy. For instance, people understand that they should avoid eating cholesterol food[food that is high in cholesterol] with a view to[of] keeping away from[omit] hypertension and cardiopathy. In addition, people also know appropriate[?] exercise is good for their bodies because appropriate exercise can maintain human’s cardiopulmonary functions. Furthermore, people perceive that staying up all night is harmful to their health. Owing to maintaining their physical condition,they will request themselves not to sit up all night.
Thirdly, medical researchers are diligent in inventing new drugs and useful medical instruments to treat all kinds of diseases As everybody knows manykinds of disease couldn’t be treated in the past time, but it[it’s] thanks to innovative medical instruments and new drugs that these syndromes can be doctored totally today such as smallpox, typhoid fever and yellow fever and so on. Even though many kinds of cancer which are saw[seen as] incurable diseases now, if we can find out[detect the] syndromes of cancer in time, we can cure of these[this] troublesome diseases. Besides, various new medicines not only have miraculous therapeutical effects but also have fewer side effects to make patients comfortable. Due to medical instruments and drugs’ innovation, people can have longer lives than people who lived in the younger[earlier] years.
To sum up, I can come to my own[the] conclusion that as time goes by, people learn how to keep healthy now so that they can live longer than ancients[before]. Because people make progress in technological innovation, not only can we live in crystal clean surroundings to ban[prevent] us[ourselves] from epidemic diseases, but we can extend our lives by means of new drugs and innovative medical instruments as well. Last but not the least, we can absorb a variety of professional medical information to keep our bodies healthy. Of course, there are some reasons for this topic that I have never presented before. Nevertheless, for the reasons I have presented above, I deeply believe that my opinion is the[omit] most valid.
