Getting Healthier, it's partly in your head

"Eduardo to the rescue, here is the fun easy way to get healthier"

Check out this article I found on the Real Age site!

Sounds crazy, right? But it was true in a study of hotel workers. Just 4 weeks after the room cleaners were educated on how their duties counted toward their exercise needs, they saw a drop in weight and blood pressure -- despite no changes in overall activity levels.

Placebo Effect at Work

Changing bed linens, vacuuming, dusting, scrubbing the bathroom floor -- it's not spin class, but it is physical activity. And if you do physically active things with the right mind-set (namely, think "This is good for me."), it could translate into greater health gains. Just chalk it up to that mind-body connection to which so many other health benefits (like the placebo effect) have been traced.

Think About It

You need only about 30 minutes of exercise daily to meet the surgeon general's physical activity recommendations. And keep in mind that things like pulling weeds, painting the garage door, and folding laundry count toward that total. And we mean literally keep it in mind. Couldn't hurt, right?

Wasn't that a great article? And I want to help you too!

So here is where I get to help you out? Come over to my house, it could sure use a good cleaning and the yard, my goodness, you could do wonders with that too. This is a serious win/win situation. I let you take over my chores and you get healthier. How could you lose? It's perfecto!

Saturdays would be best but you know me I'm flexible when it comes to letting other people do my work.

P.S. Please no presents when you come over ladies, your presence and gratitude will be my gift! Ok, you can bring cleaning supplies if you really want to!
