When you're at work, it can be risky to age in a healthy way. When you're younger, you go where the money is, but then you regret working there.
When you're young, it's hard to think about getting old. We only think about money, which isn't always a good thing. Sometimes we have to do what we can to take care of our families, even though it could put us in danger in the long run.
We've all had to work in places that were bad for our health, but we all need to make money to keep a roof over our heads. Some places of work are not good because they have chemicals, dust, or smoke.
Making furniture in a wood shop is bad for your lungs and can lead to lung disease. Some machines have parts that have to be put together with glue. Glue is another thing whose fumes can get into your lungs. At some point, you might breathe in too much sawdust or glue fumes, which could give you cancer or asthma.
Another bad place to work is in the coal mines. Coal miners who work there for their whole lives are always in danger. The black coal dust gets into the lungs just like dust from furniture, and it can cause serious lung diseases. Men have died after working in the coal mines for a long time.
The most dangerous job in the world is working in a sawmill. Working in a sawmill in the winter, which is the busiest time of year, can make men sick from the cold. Cold weather can also cause problems with the lungs. When trees fall, men sometimes get stuck under them and die or get hurt very badly. As we get older, our bones get weaker and more fragile, which isn't good if a tree falls on someone in their 50s.
The work of fishermen in the fish industry is also hard and dangerous. Men keep getting older, and these guys are out on the river somewhere, where storms sometimes turn the ship over. The work is hard and dangerous. They could hurt their backs or even drown. Still, you're out in nature, so it's not as dangerous as some other jobs.
Truck drivers have a dangerous job because they have to be on the road all the time and stick to a schedule to make a lot of money. Truckers will drive for hours without stopping, putting themselves and other people in danger. In the 1960s, truckers are at risk because being on the road all the time isn't good for their health. Their health will get worse because they eat a lot of fast food and don't get enough sleep.
As we get older, we all need to think about what we put into our lungs and what we do to our bodies. Most of the time, the food we get at work isn't as healthy as it should be.
We hurt our bodies and minds when we try too hard to make money. The mind needs sleep to work well the next day, and the body needs the right diet and sleep to keep from breaking down and causing a number of diseases and illnesses. Without the right food and exercise, our bones will become weak and brittle, which can lead to breaks as we get older. Think about your job now so that you can live a healthy life as you get older.
