Notes -
Humans are terrible at noticing longterm things, eg that tobacco and alcohol are bad for infant health or that the families which cooked in lead wound up with dumber children; but I wonder I’ll look to see if any scientists have studied this.
I think it is inexpensively trainable by requiring girls to wear front packs before an obstacle course as some school activity, and then advising the practice of this again before pregnancy. Genuinely would be better than half of what is taught in gym classes. I mean, 25% experiencing a fall and “20% sought medical care” are insane stats. Early life training + practice before pregnancy could probably bring that number considerably; I genuinely don’t remember the last time I fell while walking and I’m usually oblivious to my path.
