Body health is a way to extend the usefulness
of our physical self over a longer time span
• The manner in which we MOVE
our body is key!
• Giving our body the right FUEL is
smart!
• Getting good REST is a well
deserved reward.
• Reducing WEAR and TEAR on
our “body engine” is cost-
efficient.

• Lower your risk for serious health
problems, like diabetes and heart
disease

school and at work

equipment and furniture can be
arranged so that people can do
work or other activities more
efficiently and comfortably.

Ways to improve body movement for lifting
• Think before you lift.
• Keep the load close to the waist.
• Adopt a stable position.
• Ensure a good hold on the load.
• Do not bend your back when lifting.
• Do not bend the back any further
while lifting.
• Do not twist when you lift.
Yoga for body and brain….on the farm? Who
knew?
Reducing forces acting on our bodies is a
great strategy for body health…
•Vibration
•Ground force
•Tool forces
•Livestock handling
•Weights
Taking care of your brain is an important
aspect of health
• Our brain confronts stress by
fighting or fleeing
• This is great for
encountering a dragon, but
not so good when worried
about the mortgage
• Chronic activation of this
survival mechanism impairs
health (Harvard health) This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC
Taking care of your spirit….
