DEBATE ON LIFESTYLE CHOICE
Introduction
Lifestyle can be defined as the set of habits, activities and cultures which is brought about
by a long process of interaction when people socialize together in the society of different
environments. This lifestyle may involve the use of social substances like misuse of cocaine,
alcohol, modern food and dieting, the way people cloth, language and how individual talk,
performing of exercise, kind of marriages and relationships, housing, education among others.
Lifestyle choice, therefore, I define it as a personal and thoughtful decision towards the kind and
type of lifestyle an individual what to live in. Lifestyle choice like any other decision has
positive and negative results. Lifestyle choices have led to a negative impact and effects as well
as the positive benefits credited to it. The reason of my support or standing for this lifestyle
choice is because through my reason, society will revisit the issue of lifestyle and sensitize its
members to be constantly making sound decision and always analyzing the consequences that
comes with the kind of the lifestyle one choices because this will be possible to reduce moral
decay in the society and State at large and also help to minimize mistakes which many society
members make when choosing the kind of lifestyle that they want to adopt and embrace.
The positive impact of lifestyle choice

As I have stated earlier that lifestyle may involve smoking of tobacco or even cocaine,
alcohol consumption and misuse, the kind of diet one takes, clothes that an individual wears
among others. All these and many other kinds of lifestyle require an individual to make a good
decision or even choice in order to avoid consequences which come with this lifestyle. For
example, if I make a decision or even a choice to eat certain diets that are harmful to my health
that has a lot of fats and I refuse to perform exercise, I, therefore, subject my body into chances
of having obesity which leads to loss of life an early age, what scientist refers to as premature
death. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) statistics and research, obesity is
also brought about by lifestyle choices such as improper exercise which further leads to body
complications like diabetes, blood pressure among other complications. All these lead to shorting
of the lifespan of an individual which can be avoided or even brought to its total inexistence if
people would make right and positive lifestyle choices.
Most or even some of the lifestyle choices do not affect there by there but rather they take
some time. Some of these lifestyles kinds like cocaine, tobacco and alcohol abuse cause effects
that indeed last for a long period long. As a result of this, one can help him or herself today if at
all he or she decides from today going forward to stop bad lifestyle decisions and embrace
positive or good lifestyle decision which has a positive impact in the life of an individual.
Historically during the period of our great grandfathers, society was guided by morals which
made members of the society to effectively make right and good decisions concerning lifestyle.
This prevented them from a more negative impact. Today, the society's morals have eroded to a
great extent and therefore, all sort of lifestyle has been allowed in the society and as result of
this, good and sound decisions and choices should be made when one is embracing any form of
lifestyle in order to avoid cases of bad lifestyle.

Bad Lifestyle choices make people and members of any State weak and unhealthy like
excessive alcohol, bhang, tobacco abuse, issues of rape due to the poor dressing of women which
many women embrace without making proper choices and later results to spread of HIVAIDS,
unhealthy food which leads to health issue among others. On the other hand, a country's
economic development is determined by the health status and their zeal of its populations to
participate in development issues. As result, it is a recommendable a State to ensure that good
and sound choices and decision concerning lifestyle are made to avoid economic sabotage due to
health issues of its populations. This is because if the citizens health is weak, it becomes
challenging for them to work in order to ensure that there is an improvement in their economy
thus affecting their Gross Domestic Product.
Conclusion
In conclusion, therefore, lifestyle choice is an important thing that every individual and
State at large ought to embrace. Every lifestyle depicts how an individual should live and as I
mentioned above, it has a negative impact to both individuals and the State and so positive
lifestyle choice should be made by both individual and States in order to ensure a healthy life.
Due to the effects that are associated with lifestyle, it is paramount for good and positive
decision to be made by an individual before him or her choices what kind of lifestyle to embrace.
