ngl the recurring significant labour associated with my job has improved my physical health a lot (and mental health.....somewhat) despite my so-so habits in the rest of life

I had a job where i was walking 12 hours a day. My mental health and such tanked when I went to a job where I sit more

12 hrs is a lot mate

I work as a mover so a 12 hour walk sounds like....well, a nice walk haha. but I limit myself to 4 days/week and naturally some moves are easier than others

I used to have a 9-5 desk job for quite a while and seppuku nearly occurred at the tail end there. not for me.

I think I got enough old dna in me. My ancestors evolved to wander fields for hours to find nice roots to eat. I think my body still yearns for that lifestyle

Suicide rates in Healthcare do agree with that
