日常健康危害之3：家務

對人類身體健康造成危害的生活習慣非常多，可能某些生活習慣看起來微不足道，但是它們確確實實地不利于我們的健康，今天Ukki將帶著大家一起來揭秘眾多危害人類健康的生活習慣之三。

　　Need an excuse to put your feet up? Well, good news:research suggests that leaving the housework for another day could give your health aboost! Research results published in the Journal of Family Psychology revealed that doing housework when you get home from work prevents levels of cortisol (thestress hormone) from lowering and reduces recovery from stress.
　　想找個理由不做家務？那有好消息了：研究顯示，人們把家務活留到第二天做，身體會更棒！《家庭心理學》刊登了這篇研究報告，報告結果顯示，當你下班回家后做家務活，皮質醇(壓力荷爾蒙)的釋放會被抑制。皮質醇能降低壓力，還能縮短受壓后的恢復時間。

　　However, stress levels for both men and women were lowered by housework being completed – just so long as they weren't the ones doing it.Look after your health by taking turns to do the housework with other membersof your household if possible, and take time out to relax afterwards.
　　但是當家務被完成后，男性和女性的壓力水平都會降低——只要做家務的不僅僅只有他或她。可以的話，你可以和家人分擔家務，這樣能讓自己保持健康，還有家務過后記得要抽時間休息啊。
