This study suggests that regular moderate-intensity activities (AH), as do the garden, vacuuming, raking leaves, cleaning windows, etc.. are associated with reduced risk of metabolic disorders such as metabolic syndrome or diabetes.

Previous studies with accelerometers found that people accumulate 4 times usual activities (AH) than those who did moderate physical activity. Get to more AH may be best to improve health, but did not know if this type of activity decreased the risk of cardiometabolic abnormalities. The researchers looked at how many minutes per day spent by participants usual daily activities (AH) and moderate to vigorous exercise, and the number of steps they took during the AH and during exercise. They found that for every 30 minutes from AH or AH every 1,000 steps, it was possible decreased risk of elevated triglycerides, lower HDL cholesterol, higher waist circumference, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. This reduced risk was not in relation to moderate and vigorous exercise as had been done.
