Meanwhile, the American psychologists in the course of a number of studies have shown that lack of help around the house with the family members lead a woman to the state stress . There is a direct correlation: the more time and effort pays the woman in the household, the higher the level of stress hormone in the body.

AT experiment 30 couples agreed to participate. An obligatory condition for participation was the presence of in the family at least one child at the age from 8 up to 10 years. Nothing special for families to do was not necessary. They were asked to live the way they used to, without paying attention to what they are participating in the experiment.

Scientists, psychologists have very closely followed the daily routine of the subjects, with regularly measured the level of cortisol, stress hormone In the blood of all participants.

What the researchers found no claim discovery of the century. In most families, participated in the study, wives after the working of the day outside the home accounted for be engaged in housekeeping, at the same time no one, including dearest spouse, them not to helped.

Interestingly another fact. It turns out women who have husbands are lazy, ignoring homework, can not regain their strength after long working days due to the rise, especially in the evening levels of the stress hormone - cortisol. What is even more interesting, when his wife, doing "home", sees her husband lying on the couch, hormone begins to produce with the increased speed.

But if the content of the stress hormone in the blood by the evening is not lowered, a person continues to remain tense, can not relax, that the is fraught with development of somatic and of mental disorders.

Status of constant stress contributes to premature aging woman and reduces life expectancy. American psychologists recommend that men give all possible help "weaker" sex in the conduct of their joint management. And cases can do more, and his wife will live longer.
