    That’s a good argument. There is a similar concept in sports, where “recovery” is often misunderstood as spending a day on the couch doing as much nothing as possible. While, in reality, recovery means that you should be doing “light sports” to keep the body stimulated while regaining strength after more strenuous activity.
