Our ancestors had to struggle for food. They had to walk long distances, climb the trees, and carry the loads for miles together. There were limited mechanical means to make work easier. Our grandparents had to plough the fields, draw water from the wells and work in the field right from the morning till evening. They had to walk longer distances to go to other places. As the civilization advanced, the life became easier. Today, the life has become not only easy, but very comfortable. Mechnisation, automation and various devices have deprived us of desirable physical activity. Physical activity is essential not only for an active and healthy life, but also for preventing diseases and developing efficient and strong body. Nature provides birth, growth and death but never the disease
