surgery and declares with pride : "Wow ! Science has reached upto such an advanced stage" Today's life-style is free of manual labour and loaded with tensions. As a result, it is possible to get a heart-attack even at the age of 30 years and joints may wear out at the age of 35 years. The hip bones and the knee-joints deteriorate when you are probably 40 years old. Pills for blood-pressure and diabetes are sold like peppermint. The glamorous package of a toil-free life-style that science has given us comes with several diseases as additional gifts.
Today Jogger's Park and Jogger's clubs have come up. It has become fashionable to go for a morning walk. When you inquire with them : "Why do you go for a walk ?" They would reply in a philosophical style : "Oh Yeah ! Walking is the best exercise, you know !" The people of yester-years did real exercise by day to day activities. Now-a-days exercise is just a fashion.
Why is it that the people who do more of manual labour are less prone to diseases? In today's world, if someone does research on this subject, prepares a paper, publishes and propagates the same among the people, then only people will appreciate the significance of manual labour in their lives. In the yesteryears, the life-style was such that manual labour was naturally entwined in the day-to-day life. Today people leave at dawn and spend money on superficial activities, that make them exert extra physical efforts or exercise at the gym. Science has kicked out toil from life and then propped up life by giving the support of synthetic hi-tech work-outs. There is a relationship of cause and effect between labour and health. Today the relationship is exploited commercially.
