A farmer who is temperate in all his habits usually enjoys good health. The student sits day after day in a close room, bending over his desk or table, his chest contracted, his lungs crowded. His brain is taxed to the utmost, while his body is inactive. Let them take regular exercise that will cause them to breathe deep and full, and they will soon feel that they have a new hold on life. The diseased stomach will find relief by exercise.
Exercise is important to digestion, and to a healthy condition of body and mind.
Digestion will be promoted by physical exercise. Useful employment would bring into exercise the enfeebled muscles, enliven the stagnant blood in the system, and arouse the torpid liver to perform its work. The circulation of the blood would be equalized, and the entire system invigorated to overcome bad conditions. Neglecting to exercise the entire body, or a portion of it, will bring on morbid conditions. The bloom of health fades from their cheeks, and disease fastens upon them, because they are robbed of physical exercise, and their habits are perverted generally.
