We have all developed the bad habit of using the motor car for every little errand instead of walking. It is most unusual for a person who owns a car to take regular walks, not even when it is just a stone’s throw to the corner shop. We have become a generation spoiled by the many inventions that make life easier: we no longer want to walk, we no longer want to use our limbs, and our muscles suffer from disuse. Many people are not aware of the danger that results from this way of life. Our circulation suffers and there may even be a deterioration of the entire vascular system as well as of the heart. Monotonous mental activity may lead to tensions, stagnation in the circulatory system, spasms, high blood pressure and many other problems. All these things are potential causes of heart attacks, especially for people in their late fifties.
