There are studies for just about everything, but this one from the American Heart Association gave me pause. I wasn't sure at first if it was satire or really real. The study published this week measured the physical activity of over 5400 women between the ages of 63 and 97.
They found that women who did daily chores like housework, cooking, vacuuming, gardening and even taking a shower had a reduced risk of heart disease. While I do all these things everyday and it sounds like good news, I have to wonder if they ever did a study like this for men. The conclusions sound like a great argument for men to encourage women to keep on doing housework.
If housework and gardening is good heart work for women, should this not apply to men as well?
Sure it applies to both sexes. What they are getting at, if either sex just sits, snacks, and watches TV 16 hours a day, you will have health issues.

No, this was just aimed at women.
