Back when I was a child, exercise was common for children. We would ride bikes all day, walk everywhere and play neighborhood sports. Now everything seems different. Everyone distrusts one another, many fearful to let their kids out in the neighborhoods. Guessing there is a connection to not so many dads in the homes/neighborhoods now.

When you do see young ones about, they often have their faces down reading the cell phones, letting the surroundings remain a ghost to them. Then, once they are old enough to be on their own they either find jobs sitting down, or if unlucky enough to find labor jobs like in warehouses, they will have unrealistic quotas (as if they were a factory machine) that will wear their bodies down from inhuman repetitive motion.

This usually leads to a bad diet, as after working in such a manner, one is often ready to collapse by getting home, and will eat a quick to prepare flavored poison sold as food before numbing their minds on the programming shows that erode their mental well being.

In response to your observation of 90 year olds running and dancing and doing yoga, it reminded me of the Hunza. Their seniors can outperform the average westerner half their age. They are living proof what can be achieved without so many "conveniences" and how something as simple as walking everywhere and eating healthy provides a healthy longevity.

Love the post, saw it in my feed from a resteem from @apolymask. Have put you in my favorites. Our blogs focus on opposite sides of the spectrum, and will do me good to have a dose of positivity and good thinking from time to time. Blessings to you and yours.
