    The study revealed that quitting smoking, exercising more, improving sleep, and maintaining a healthy body weight were all linked to lower overall healthcare costs and reduced reliance on medication for back pain.

          To be even more pedantic, I don’t think “up for debate” applies here when the only possible point of disagreement is the very definition of “wet”. Any specific definition would either mean water is wet or water isn’t wet, so there isn’t any debate.
