According to a study published in Time, the Indiana University department of Physical Activity,
led by associate professor Nicole Keith, discovered a correlation between clean houses and
healthy people.
Researchers tracked the physical health of 998 African Americans between the ages of 49 and
65 a demographic with a high-risk for heart disease by comparing their levels of physical activity
with the cleanliness of their homes. Those people with the cleanest homes were also the
healthiest and most active, according to the study results. In fact, the findings also suggested
that encouraging people to maintain their home's cleanliness may be even more important to
their overall health than the walk ability of the neighborhood they live in. "At the end of the
day, the interior condition of their house seemed to be the only thing affecting their physical
activity," said Keith. "It was not at all what we expected."It's clear by Keith's statement that
their discovery surprised even the researchers, but are these findings really so shocking? "The
connection between health and the dwelling of the population is one of the most important
that exists." Even the Environmental Protection Agency admits that indoor air can be up to five
times more polluted than the outdoors. If the average person spends up to 90 percent of their
time indoors, we are breathing in dust mites, pet dander, pollen, mold, bug skeletons, and
toxins from such innocuous sources as conventional cleaning products and even chemicals
emitted from our own clothing and bedding. These toxins manifest themselves as symptoms
most people attribute to allergies such as itchy eyes, runny nose, and wheezing, but which
should actually be blamed on an unclean house.
