Modern women are more likely to get fat than their moms and grandmothers - and the fact is that they spend much less time on housekeeping. In any case, according to scientists from the University of South Carolina.

As the "MedVesti" reports, back in 1965 household chores, such as cleaning, cooking, washing dishes, took away from free time housewives for 27 hours a week. These days these procedures take 13.3 hours per week. Because of this every day, housewives burn 360 calories less than their grandmothers or mothers. And the reason for the rapid set of extra pounds is not in the wrong diet, as some experts try to convince, but in a low level of home activity.

There are two reasons why women are less involved in household chores.

The first reason is a catastrophic lack of time, as most women work, are more tired, and prefer rest to the standing near the stove. The second reason is the development of modern technologies, thanks to which the work of a housewife today requires much less effort. This includes dishwashers, microwave ovens, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and much more.
