    It’s been known for a long time that manual labor, particularly outdoor manual labor, is healthier than more sedentary, indoor tasks. Outdoor work gives the body exercise, the eyes get natural light (which some research seems to suggest may help stave off certain eye conditions, like myopia and astigmatism, especially in children) from being outside, the air’s always fresh (so long as the area doesn’t have any major pollution), and it’s no secret that being in nature boosts mental health.
