Why Should We Learn to Swim?
Journal Title: Scholarly Journal of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
There is an anecdote in which an intellectual was being transported in a small boat by a person of scarce academic resources, when when trying to mock this poor man he asks “young… do you know? Of mathematics? And the poor boatman answers NO, and the unfriendly scholar tells him “because he thinks you’ve lost 30% of your life, later he asks him if he knew about philosophy and when he answered with a second refusal, the scholar in question tells him that he had he lost another 30% of his life, and he maintained it until suddenly the boatman, smiling, asked him, “Sir, do you? Can you swim? The intellectual in question responds, “naturally not” and the boatman ends up telling him “well, pretend that you lost 100% of your life because the ship sinks”. Every time I see a patient with tension headaches or spinal problems or even insomnia, an important point of recommendation is intense exercise, which is often not walking or doing the job, it is an appropriate athletic behavior with plan and an added diet, which if done to the letter would greatly reduce the problems of spine, metabolism, overweight and many more; I always put swimming ahead of other sports that add to the rehabilitation due to a series of advantages that other sports activities do not have.
