Accumulated dust needs to be cleaned regularly and it is useful to think of this as an “exercise” rather than a cleaning.

Spring is a season when cleaning is more important when fine, yellow dust is shed. [사진=게티이미지뱅크]As spring approaches, it becomes more important to clean the house regularly due to the influx of fine and yellow dust. However, even though I know, I tend to put it off due to my heavy body. However, if you know the harmfulness of indoor dust and want to do something for yourself due to lack of physical activity, the American Heart Association (AHA) introduced that you should not hesitate to start cleaning.
Indoor dust… Pollen, dead skin cells and even mites
The dust that floats around the house and accumulates is mixed with various substances. Dead skin cells, dirt, hair, cotton, etc., as well as irritants that can cause allergies, such as pollen, mold and dust mites. If you keep pets in your home, there is also a lot of animal hair and dander. In particular, fine particles that enter in the spring are fatal because they contain heavy metals such as lead, arsenic and cadmium.
In many cases, there are PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a wide range of persistent toxic chemicals widely used in various consumer products, including products for children and teenagers, for waterproofing, heat resistance and prevention of stains. PFAS are known to be associated with several diseases, including hypertension, obesity, and high cholesterol in women. That is why it is necessary to regularly clean the dust accumulated in the house during a warm spring day.
“Cleansing” increases physical activity and also takes care of your body
Even if you know this, if it’s not easy to put into practice, how about adding some “motivation” to your body? If you have a complex exercise program but are unable to do it properly, cleansing can be a good alternative. While it may not build a muscular and toned body, it can help you burn calories and increase physical activity to prevent obesity and enjoy a healthier life.
According to a study previously published in Science, hard-working people who cannot sit still and keep getting up to do household chores do not gain weight due to their high metabolic rate, while inactive people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV tend to gain weight easily. There are no official standards, but according to a 2016 study published in The Lancet, an international medical journal, 60 to 75 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity every day are necessary to eliminate the negative effects of sitting for about 8 hours a day.
There may be differences depending on gender, weight, race, etc., but according to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), when a 150-pound adult does household chores for 15 minutes, the calories expended are △ cleaning reading or dusting – 47 kcal △ using the washing machine or doing laundry Cleaning – 41 kcal △ Vacuuming at medium intensity, cooking, washing dishes – 67 kcal △ High intensity cleaning such as washing windows or cleaning the garage – 71 kcal △ Moving furniture or carrying boxes – approximately 118 kcal.
Considering that the calories burned by jogging in the same conditions are 142 kcal, household chores such as cleaning can prove to be a more effective physical activity than you think. Making larger, more vigorous movements when doing housework or listening to music, and shaking your body loudly while cleaning, can also help increase calorie burn and exercise effectiveness.
Vinegar water instead of dusting, clean properly
Experts recommend avoiding using cleaning tools that shake or move, such as dusters, especially during spring cleaning when removing dust is important. Rather, the dust is blown away and you cannot clean it properly and you end up breathing more dust. You can easily remove dust with a weak solution of vinegar mixed with water and a cloth.
When cleaning, be sure to wear a mask to avoid breathing in as much dust as possible, and when using a cleaner, it’s best to use a product that can be applied to a sponge or cloth rather than a spray product that can disperse into the environment . the air. If there are carpets on the living room floor, you can make the indoor air much more pleasant by using a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter and placing air purifiers suitable for the area throughout the room.
