      Non-physical labour is also often incredibly stressful, stress has similar effect on both mental and physical health of people.

        Hm… I can agree with that. Especially if working in a toxic environment. After all, when you’re negatively impacted mentally, it does have the effect of making you physically lethargic.

          Not just lethargy really, chronic stress is really bad for your body. Also the symptoms make it more likely for people to not engage in good lifestyle choices like exercise and better food.
