In recent times medicine warns about the connection between 'big stomach' and estrogene deficiency, that reduces fertility and increases some other health problems.
Research, made on 200 thousand women from 9 European countries showed the following: housekeeping reduces breast cancer more than sport activities do.
Dusting, cleaning and vacuming at home are much more 'healing' than doing the same physical activities at work. Women included in British institute study did household chores 16-17 hours per week, and research lasted more than 6 years.
It has been known for long time that phyisical activity reduces breast cancer risk, probably because fo hormonal and methabolic changes. On the other hand, it has not been known which type of exercises are most appropriate.
Housekeeping chores reduce breast cancer risk for more than 30%, while with women in menopause for 20%.
It is nice to know, than something so simple and yet necessarily can reduce breast cancer risk, i just hope this study was not made (only) by male scientists  |
