A recent survey suggested that people with clean homes are more likely to be physically fit compared to people who have messy dwellings. Researchers from the Indiana University monitored the activity levels of 998 St. Louis residents aged 49 to 65. The researchers also assessed the interior and exterior states of the participants’ homes.
The study showed that the interior state of one’s home actually affected the resident’s physical activities. It worked both ways: clean homes stimulated subjects to move more, in the same manner that they got more exercise by cleaning their houses. Nicole Keith, associate professor of Indiana University and head researcher of the study wished to know more, though.
Through the study, Keith hopes to find out if people who took the time to take care of their bodies also belonged to the same type of people who took good care of their homes. While no direct connection between the two groups has been made yet, this study might just give people a new means to keep themselves healthy. Cleaning one’s home is, after all, a more productive means of burning off those excess calories.
Dr. Nicole Keith noted that while some people take 30 minutes to brisk walk or jog every day, others exert physical effort to clean their homes. The results of the study will be presented during the 2010 congregation of the American College of Sports Medicine set to be held in Baltimore. This news was released by the Indiana University a few days ago.
If there is one thing that I know about aches and pains, it is that they really, really hurt, especially if you have worked out extremely hard and now you are dealing with the aftermath.

All right – so I am so guilty of having dry skin because I take a shower every single day. That is … until I read up on how you can actually eliminate your dry skin by doing something as simple as skipping a shower every single day. While there is always the benefit of actually eliminating all of the dirt and germs that live on your skin, too many showers will actually dry your skin out.
