Abstract
… existing conditions of work… impose strains which, when endured too long, are beyond physiological tolerance… conditions thus call for amendment… In the field of personal hygiene, the organisation of holidays, leisure, exercise and pleasurable relaxation is as sensible as attention to sanitary habits and balanced dietaries… Healthy living should be promoted through a more precise physiological and psychological understanding of man and of his individual and social needs. 1
