Original:

Personally speaking, I agree with the statement that people today have healthier lifestyles than people did 100 years ago. First, I believe that with the development of technology, people can get information of how to live more healthy more easily. For example, if I want to get the information of how to eat easier, I can put keywords of my question into a search engine like Google. The information I need appears on the screen within seconds, which is convenient as well as time-saving. Second, I also believe that with the development of the outdoor activities, people can have more time to do some outdoor activities like traveling and also playing basketball with friends. And these activities also be beneficial to people's physical health and mental well-being.

Revised:

I firmly concur with the notion that individuals today lead healthier lifestyles compared to those a century ago. Firstly, the advancements in technology have made it significantly easier for people to access information on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Today, people are much more than before, so that people are facing more stress and more competition in our society. And also, our global economy or global situation is not stable, so that people do not have much time to sport or exercise. They strive for life.

Furthermore, the instability of the global economy and political landscape contributes to a sense of uncertainty, which can negatively impact mental and emotional well-being. These factors combined suggest that people may not necessarily be living healthier lives compared to a century ago.
