Oh yeah, they went there. A new British study says extra elbow grease
spent doing housework kept women more trim in the 1950s as compared with the
modern woman's measurements.
Women's waistlines have grown six inches over the past 60 years because they don't
do as much housework as their grandmothers, the researchers say. Housewives in the
1950s housewives used to burn 1,000 calories a day by doing the chores, but modern
appliances make those chores easier. Now, many more women work full-time and have
a more sedintary lifestyle.
The research, completed by Saga to mark the Queens'
Diamond Jubilee, surveyed 8,000 men and women on their waist sizes, calorie intake
and lifestyle and then compared those results with the average statistics for
adults in 1952.
