Intro
The Work Environment in Healthy Aging
As a younger person you go where the money is at ; then later you are sorry you worked there. Aging is hard to consider when you’re in your younger years. Money is the one thing on our minds and occasionally that isn’t good.
We all had to work in places that were not good for your fitness but we must get by to keep a roof over our heads.
Some work places are not good to be in due to chemicals, dust, and smoke.
Working in a wood shop making furniture isn’t good for the lungs and may cause lung illness. Glue is something else, that you can get fumes from into your lungs.
Finally you will get too much sawdust or glue smoke into your lungs causing cancer or asthma.
Working in the coalmines is another bad place to work. Coal Miners working as a lifetime employee is always in danger. The black coal dust gets into the lungs just like dust from the furniture and it may cause dreadful lung illnesses. It is understood that men have died of working so many years in the coalmines. The sawmill industry is the number 1 deadly job for anybody to work in. Trees fall and men are stuck under them sometimes causing death to them and / or many wounds.
As we get older, our bones weaken and fragile and when a tree falls on somebody in there 50’s that isn’t a great thing. Fishermen working in the fish industry have a tough and deadly job to do too. Aging doesn’t stop and these men are out in the middle of the stream somewhere and the hurricanes hit occasionally turning the ship over. The work is heavy and threatening ; could cause them back wounds ; they could drown. Still, you are in nature so the job doesn’t put you in peril as some other sorts of roles. Van drivers have a threatening job being on the road all of the time with a schedule to meet to make the serious coin. Truckers will drive and drive with absence of sleep risking themselves and others too. Truckers on the road in the sixty’s are in danger, since it is not good for their health to be out on the road all of the time. Their health will drop thanks to the fact they eat many fast foods, and shortage of sleep. As getting older advances on us, we need to think about what we are respiring into our lungs or doing to our bodies. The diets we get at the work place are not typically balanced like they should be. Pushing ourselves to earn money is damaging to our bodies and mind. Without the correct exercise and diet, our bones will become crisp and puny causing splinters later in life. Think about your workplace now so you can live a healthy aging life.
