So they were meeting and exceeding it by far.

But despite this, the housekeeper staff were on average overweight in this study and their bodies failed to reflect the workouts that they were getting, curiously.

And we can attribute that to many things, but that's not the point of the study of some of the other factors that may play a role.

Obviously, nutrition and lifestyle and other pieces that may play a very bona fide role.

But in this study, the researchers divided the hotel room staff into two groups.

One group was educated about the benefits provided by their daily labor, the work they did.

that it counted as exercise, that they were really doing movement and purposeful exercise.

And the other group remained sort of in the dark about this.

So they were randomized and then they were put in these two groups.

One was educated that their work counted, that their work was purposeful, that it counted, that it was energy expending and metabolically burning and it counted as exercise.

You may predict what the results are, maybe not, but are you ready for this?

Remarkably, the informed group quickly showed weight loss and physical improvements, including a drop in their blood pressure, the upper number, systolic blood pressure.
