New research that was recently published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that women above the age of sixty-five who consistently engage in household chores are likely to live longer and healthier lives. This is because of the physical activity, which reduces the risk of disease and death.
There was also research done that revealed that thirty minutes of light physical activity every day lowers the risk of mortality by thirty-nine percent. It’s recommended that older adults engage in at least two and a half hours of moderate physical activity such as brisk walking.
