In this study, researchers have compiled data from 85 Scientific workrepresentative two million adults followed around the world. What emerges is clear: domestic activity constitutes a precious source ofphysical exercise And its beneficial health effects are measurable. Everyday gestures as Pachet up, dishes, wash the floor, tinker, garden or load in the house fully contribute to these benefits when they are made of steady way and with enough intensity.
The results show that people active throughout their adult life reduce on average 30 to 40% their risk of mortality All causes combined. Even those who decide to increase their level of activity later benefits from a significant drop estimated between 20 et 25%explains the study.
Another striking element, the gains in life expectancy even appear below the thresholds recommended by The World Health Organization (WHO)which fixes the bar of 150 to 300 minutes moderate activity per week. Two and a half hours of energetic cleaning per week are already enough to reduce the risk in a tangible way, say researchers
The study, however, alerts to the importance of consistency. A gradual drop in efforts erased quickly The benefits accumulated. “Health is therefore played in maintaining an active lifestyle, even when it is expressed by simple but repeated gestures in the domestic environment,” concludes the study.
