  Reference answer

   

  Happiness lies, first of all, in good health. Health enables us to brave career challenges energetically and harmonizes family life optimistically. [Crack IELTS with Rob] The awareness of a healthier lifestyle has been making numerous people alter their dietary habits, which explains the increase in the number of vegetarians. My stand is that eating fruits and vegetables might be an effective way in terms of keeping fit, however, it is not the best and only strategy.

   

  Indeed, I have to concede that people who consciously avoid the intake of meat can, to some extent, help them embark on a wholesome lifestyle. More precisely, a vegetarian diet helps people refrain from excessive intakes of sugar, fat, and calorie. Meanwhile, rich nutrients and vitamins are contained in plenty of fruits and vegetables. [Crack IELTS with Rob] What I want to rebut, however, is that too much consumption of fruits and vegetables might result in an imbalance of nutritional value.

   

  In fact, to avoid eating meat leaves much to be desired as far as keeping fit is concerned. Other ways should be explored. First, strengthening physical condition and endurance is also a commendable way because regular physical activities help us relax our bodies and ease our minds. [Crack IELTS with Rob] Hence, one’s immune system can be improved and one’s health index can be enhanced.

   

  Also, modern people usually have to face fierce competition and huge pressure deriving from either study or work. To stand out from the crowd, numerous people burn the midnight oil, which undermines their health. In this sense, to strike a proper balance between rest and work can also ensure people’s health statuses. [Crack IELTS with Rob] To illustrate, occupied workers or students should be urged to arrange holiday trips or friend reunions from time to time.

   

  In closing, I re-affirm my conviction that regular sports activities and reasonable schedules will have indispensable roles to play in helping people remain in their best health condition although reducing the intake of meat might work in some cases.
