Ancient people were busy too and also struggled with work life balance

How often do you hear the term ‘busy’. We’re all busy aren’t we? It’s something that we accept as part of modern life – to a point where it can take a toll on our fitness and health.

You might be surprised that many ancient civilisations were also so busy that a physician complained that his patients didn’t devote enough time to keeping fit.

It’s not a new problem after all. If we are busy, how can we ensure that we stay fit and healthy?

Guest: Konstantine Panegyres is a McKenzie Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of Melbourne.

Presenter: Warren Andrew
