"People age 60 and older can reduce their chance of having a heart attack 30% by doing chores daily. This benefit holds even for people who already exercise regularly." British Journal of Sports Medicine Well, another piece of good news -- since most of us have some form of chore to do every day. Whether it is laundry, cleaning, gardening, this study shows doing chores improves our heart health. The next time we vacuum, we can remember -- we are preventing a heart attack. This benefit might be because of the physical exercise. It may also be because of the feelings of accomplishment for creating order in your environment. Since spring is traditionally the time for deeper cleaning, let us keep in mind that we are benefiting our health as well as our physical environments.
