In today’s busy world, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is both a challenge and a necessity. Unhealthy habits such as consuming fast food, skipping exercise, and sacrificing sleep are widespread due to hectic schedules and increasing reliance on modern conveniences. These behaviors, while seeming to do no harm in the short term, can have lasting consequences for physical and mental well – being. A healthy lifestyle brings countless benefits. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains helps the body function effectively and reduces the risk of chronic illnesses like obesity and diabetes. Regular physical activity strengthens the heart, improves circulation, and helps maintain a healthy weight. Exercise also boosts mental health by releasing endorphins, which reduce stress and improve mood. Additionally, adequate sleep is critical for brain function and emotional stability, allowing the body to recover and recharge. Despite these advantages, many people struggle to adopt healthier habits. Fresh, nutritious food tends to be pricier and less accessible, particularly in low – income areas. Sedentary jobs and packed schedules make it difficult to find time for exercise. Furthermore, digital distractions and long working hours frequently interfere with sleep routines. These challenges can lead to long – term issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and chronic fatigue. The consequences of neglecting health are severe. Poor lifestyle choices can weaken the immune system, making the body more vulnerable to illness. Over time, they reduce life expectancy and diminish overall quality of life. However, these issues are not insurmountable. To promote healthier living, governments can increase access to affordable nutritious food and provide public exercise spaces. Employers can encourage wellness through flexible schedules and health initiatives. Individuals, meanwhile, can make small changes, such as taking short walks, preparing meals at home, or setting consistent sleep schedules. In conclusion, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle requires effort, the rewards far outweigh the challenges. A balanced approach ensures better physical health, improved mental well – being, and a more fulfilling life. Question 23: The word "widespread" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____________.
