The Age: Wash the Dishes or DIE, Grandma!

THE simple activities of life, such as washing dishes, walking to the car
or even fidgeting, may help older people live longer, according to a study that
is the first to measure the energy used for these tasks and its effect on
longevity.

Seniors who were most active, regardless of whether they exercised, were
nearly 70 per cent less likely to die during the six-year study period than
those who were most sedentary, the study found.

I'm thinking "Untapped Labor Pool." We wouldn't want Granny to die early, now would we?

I'll get the whip.
