My father was a farmer most of his life, and it was hard work... long hours, 6 or 7 days a week. He was one of the most physically fit men I've ever known. In the late '80s, he sold the farm, and by the mid '90s was doing long hauls. Within 5 years he started having health problems. In the late 90s, he had a heart attack. On 11/1/01, he had an AVM, a ruptured artery in his brain, and passed away one month later, at the age of 67.
My point is, hard work is better for the health. He'd probably still be around had he kept farming.
