Healthy Mommy: Neglect The Housework…For Your Health.

Finding the time to achieve a healthy lifestyle is challenging. Big-time. Exercise takes time, preparing healthy meals takes time, getting sufficient sleep takes time. But there are only so many hours in the day, right?

To that end, I’ve got a suggestion that may help: scale back on housework.

On my blog on Yummy Mummy Club I posted an article that explores why it’s more important to go for a run than to scour the bathtub…and why it’s even beneficial to your health (and the health of your kids) to let things get a little grubbier at your house. Best bit: I’ve got research to back it up.

Check it out here.

  1. Dr Kim; I’m sending this post to my girlfriend – she’s always pulling her hair about the state of our house (we have two German Shepherds who shed like crazy) and I’m always telling her not to “sweat it” so much. ;)
