Firmly believe that many of the societal issues we see today amongst modern Americans is due to a lack of physical hardship. We’ve become so incredibly comfortable/strapped to desks our brains are deprived of the sensation of physical accomplishment. Not healthy for mental well being at all.

It’s a literal chemical imbalance. I feel it vividly when I go through periods where I’m not exercising. Feels like night and day when I get back on the horse. So incredibly important to remain active and in good shape throughout life, wish this was emphasized more.
