Being busy or too busy to exercise may not be bad after all….
A recent report from the Mayo Clinic may prove to be worth considering if we talk about the need to be more active to live long. We all know the fact that increasing exercise not only prevents one from developing chronic illnesses associated with inactivity and obesity but also can make us feel better and live longer.
According to the March issue of Mayo Clinic Women’s HealthSource: marathon training or going to a gym is not required but by staying busy and active all day can do the trick. Such activities that can help people live longer by expending more energy include household chores such as vacuuming, mopping the floor, washing windows, lawn work, caring for children or adults, walking or volunteering.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, tracked 302 adults between the ages of 70 and 84 for six years. The study showed that:
” Participants who had shown the highest energy expenditures due to more physical activities had about half the chances of dying of those with the lowest energy expenditures. Participants most likely to be in the high-energy group reported climbing stairs or working for pay as a daily part of their lives.”
There you go… being busy can mean healthier lives as long as people who are “too busy” for exercise, can stay “too busy” around the house and at work, or in the community doing what they have to do and in return live healthier lives.
Great news to those busy bees…. just dont be geeks and be sedentary and “too busy” sitting in your chair facing your computers with only your fingers and mouths exercising. Those activities dont count!

I think this is logical. A case would be our household helps who spend practically the whole day doing chores. The incidence of them having cardiovascular problems is quite low.
