26、on footprint than a bottle of imported beer. This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging.

34、s in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the governments health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment.

Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.In addition, health education plays a key role in improving peoples health. By giving people more information about healt
38、h, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing ones family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to pre
39、vent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on
