I was reading the other thread so didn't want to hijack that other than to wish anyone who is suffering poor health a speedy recovery but it got me thinking whether it's better to force yourself out when possible than stay indoors? I know sometimes it can be really hard, but almost impossible means anything is possible.
It's safe to say we're all falling apart and being patched up by the docs and meds and some are worse than others but is there something in being out catching fish that can actually heal?
I'm not talking rubbing yourself with tench slime (who knows could work) but after a week indoors working from home I'm usually in agony with joint pain yet I can walk miles along a river bank, going shopping I can stand around twenty mins before I need to sit somewhere yet I can stand all day trotting the float. Same with the flu, staying in dosing up doesn't seem to work as well as dosing up with a quick pop down the river. The only times I've struggled on the bank is when I've carried too much gear affecting the ****y ticker, my aches and pains are probably trivial compared to some though, if fishing brings on pain is there any way of changing how you do it?
Athletes use oxygen tents to heal injuries and inflammation, the air outside is much better than in your house, sitting by a lake or stream has to be better than sitting in front of a tv, pc or tablet. The sun heals too and the mind is occupied.
Anyone else think going fishing can actually heal better than not going?
