50 years ago, women were in better physical condition because they were engaged in households, according to a study published in the UK in the women's magazine Prima. Hard work at home, a daily activity for most women of that time, was a more effective method for losing weight than modern diets or visiting sports clubs, the study says.. We can not but comment on these statements, as reported by the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net 50 years ago, women averaged 3 hours a day doing housework, and within an hour walking, burning twice as many calories as modern women. Comparing the way of life of women in 1953 and nowadays, the researchers found out that we consume more calories and spend less.

In 1953, the woman spent an average of 1512 calories a day against 556 in our days. A modern woman consumes 2178 calories per day, while 50 years ago women consumed 1818 calories a day. This difference is partly due to the fact that homework such as laundry or cooking was more laborious in the 1950s, and current housewives use modern household appliances, the report says.. Food, in turn, was more balanced half a century ago, the diet was more vegetables and less fatty and sweet food.

However, 7 out of 10 modern women believe that they care more about their physical form than their mothers and grandmothers, following various weight loss schemes and doing sports. "The number of people with excessive news over the past 50 years has increased dramatically," says Mary Fahay, editor-in-chief of the journal. "This shows that modern technologies have reduced our motor activity by two thirds".

But this study can hardly be considered complete: the scientists took as a basis data on workers and peasants who spent up to 6,000 calories a day, doing their job. Interestingly, it would lead to the abolition of dishwashers and washing machines and other home robots to achieve real success in improving health, as well as the abolition of tractors and various machines. A horse could take the place of a car. You can return even a locomotive.

But is it not better for men who in these days show such concern for their figure, to take on a part of the chores around the house of medicus. en.
