Messy House Can Cause Heart Disease

Thinking about the messy condition of the house, piles of dirty laundry, a car that had entered the garage or a list of bills that need to be paid was more stressful than office work. The experts even mention domestic stress is harmful to heart health.
The researchers found the workers who are also dominant in domestic tasks, such as washing, cooking or shopping, have higher blood pressure than those who handled domestic work by their partner.
The cause is not just because of the many things that must be addressed or how to solve them, but rather on their perception of looking at the task. The bigger the responsibility, the higher the level of stress.
Causes of highest concern, according to 100 men and women who are seen in this study, is the task of cleaning the house, cooking and shopping. In the next sequence is the maintenance and repair cars, pay bills and prepare a household budget.
Even though the same attention, but for the respondents assess the parenting and caring for pets is not included in the cause of raised blood pressure.
Although there are hundreds of studies that examine the link between stress in the office with the risk of heart disease and stroke, but only few researchers who are interested in studying stress in the management of household affairs.
In a study involving 113 men and women who work full time this was revealed, those who hold major responsibilities at home, especially women, more high-risk hypertension.
Affairs of housework increased systolic rate to 4.4 mmHg, 2.6 mmHg increase vehicle care and paying bills affecting 1.66 Hg rise in blood pressure.
Although previous studies mentioned house cleaning activities could be positive for the fitness of the body, but researchers from the University of Pisstburgh School of Medicine is assessing the work of cleaning the house regularly will add to the stress experienced at work.
Gradually this can increase blood pressure which adversely affects the heart. "Perceptions about the responsibility borne more stressful than the time spent doing these tasks," the researchers concluded. Source: telegraph.co.uk
