So I'll live longer... My husband pointed this MSNBC bit on 14 Signs You'll Live Longer than You Think when we were talking about cleaning the house yesterday.
Sign #14: You don't have a housekeeper
Just by vacuuming, mopping floors, or washing windows for a little more than an hour, the average person can burn about 285 calories, lowering risk of death by 30%, according to a study of 302 adults in their 70s and 80s.
I have a theory: the author is not the one at home cleaning the house. Probably sexist and stereotypical of me, I know. But, right now the people in my house fill stereotypically conventional roles. I'm not making excuses it's just the box I'm thinking in at the moment.
But, I didn't let my resentment stop me from cleaning a bit. Just in case...
