Housework Could Save Your Life!

This is either good news or a cruel dilemma, depending on how you look at it!  From BBC News:

Housework cuts breast cancer risk

Women who exercise by doing the housework can reduce their risk of breast cancer, a study suggests.

The research on more than 200,000 women from nine European countries found doing household chores was far more cancer protective than playing sport.

Dusting, mopping and vacuuming was also better than having a physical job.

I guess we have to take this as good news.  All that extra housework women do may add up to greater longevity!

Don't suppose it would be wise to print this and post it on the fridge :-)
