　　Need an excuse to put your feet up? Well, good news:research suggests that leaving the housework for another day could give your health aboost! Research results published in the Journal of Family Psychology revealed that doing housework when you get home from work prevents levels of cortisol (thestress hormone) from lowering and reduces recovery from stress.
　　想找个理由不做家务？那有好消息了：研究显示，人们把家务活留到第二天做，身体会更棒！《家庭心理学》刊登了这篇研究报告，报告结果显示，当你下班回家后做家务活，皮质醇(压力荷尔蒙)的释放会被抑制。皮质醇能降低压力，还能缩短受压后的恢复时间。

　　However, stress levels for both men and women were lowered by housework being completed – just so long as they weren't the ones doing it.Look after your health by taking turns to do the housework with other membersof your household if possible, and take time out to relax afterwards.
　　但是当家务被完成后，男性和女性的压力水平都会降低——只要做家务的不仅仅只有他或她。可以的话，你可以和家人分担家务，这样能让自己保持健康，还有家务过后记得要抽时间休息啊。
