"Earlier generations would have laughed at that because they had mostly figured it out --- though not via studies, just over the millenia. Early to rise, tend to the ranch or the herd, a little bit of this repair a little bit of that repaint, flowers for the bees, good amounts of siesta, good amounts of fiesta, spring/rain/well water and fresh local nourishing food from better soils with no processed concoctions engineered for hyper-palatibilty.." Yeah... or you know, be pregnant once every year or two and have lots of children, all ending with a real chance of death. Grind your own flour and hope you have enough food in the root cellar to last the winter. Slave away in the kitchen most days, and laundry takes all day - when you do it. Lose some of your children to polio or smallpox, cholera is more of a threat, and an infected cut can lead to death. All while also taking care of your mother-in-law. Oh, and I almost forgot - don't own property or have control of your own wages. And it can be even worse if you are a minority, servant, or slave.
