   If you are like a lot of married women,you might find yourself taking on most of the housework. A study by the University of Michigan found that having a husband creates an extra seven hours of housework a week. No wonder you are feeling tired or stressed. You might think it is impossible to get your husband to pitch in around the house,but there are some steps you can try to save your health,and perhaps even your marriage.

   . Ask your husband for help. Most men truly want to make their wives happy. By asking for help in a loving and respectful way,it is likely that your husband will be happy to agree. Ask him to dry the dishes when you wash.

   . Thank your husband for his help. While you might think he ought to do it without being reminded or thanked,men are simply wired differently and may not realize what all there is to do and how much his help means to you. When he does something with or without being asked,no matter how small,smile sweetly and let him know how much you appreciate it.

   . Lower your expectations. If he doesn’t load the dishwasher the way you do,let it go. As long as the job is getting done and nothing or nobody is harmed,what's the big deal if it is not perfect or “your way”?

   . Make it fun. Find chores that you can do together,and then add some playfulness. Start a little water fight while doing the dishes,or get him to chase you around the yard while you are pulling weeds.

   A new study shows women need 60 minutes to exercise a day to stop weight increasing if they have a normal diet.

   The findings suggest women need more exercise than the current federal guidelines (联邦指南) of 150 minutes a week,or 30 minutes five days a week.

   The study is being published in the March 24/31 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

   “I don't want people to throw up their hands and say,I can't do it ,” said Dr Min Lee,the study's lead researcher.

   Women at a normal weight who have a normal diet can beat middle-age weight gain by working out intensely (高强度) for 30 minutes a day,whether by running,cycling,swimming laps or working out at a gym. Weight gain can also be prevented with 60 minutes of moderate activity,such as walking,a leisurely bike ride or playing catch.

   Overall,women gained an average of 5. 7 pounds in the study. However,those who were of normal weight,kept their weight if they exercised for 60 minutes a day. Women who exercised less generally gained weight. Dr Lee said for overweight women,60 minutes of exercise a day wasn’t enough to keep weight,suggesting cutting the calories (热量) .
