Gardening, washing the floor or cleaning the kitchen could save your life, new research has revealed.

The report from McMaster University in Canada found that doing physical household chores five times a week for half an hour decreases your risk of death by 28 percent and that of heart disease by 20 percent.

And the more exercise you do – no matter what the nature of it is – the better off you are: if you stay active for 750 minutes a week you slash your chances of an early death by almost 40 percent, the study revealed.

The researchers are hopeful that their report will encourage people to get moving even if they do not have access to a gym.
