Steps
步骤
Step 1 Leave the bed unmade
1.不要整理床铺
Leave the bed unmade. It's more sanitary to pull back the covers and let the linens air out than to trap dust mites under the warm covers,where they'll thrive.
不要整理床铺。把被子重新拉回去，让不新鲜的空气排出来，比把尘螨裹在温暖的被子中更加卫生。否则细菌和尘螨将滋生。
Step 2 Don't dry the dishes
2.不要擦干碗碟
Don't towel-dry hand-washed dishes. Air-drying is so much more hygienic that most restaurants are forbidden from using dishtowels.
不要用毛巾把碗碟擦干。空气风干更加卫生，许多酒店禁止使用擦碟布来擦碗碟。
Step 3 Clean the house less
3.减少打扫卫生次数
Don't go crazy keeping your house spic and span, especially if you have children. Many researchers support the so-called "hygiene hypothesis"– the theory that the bacteria, viruses and worms that enter our bodies via dirt are necessary to develop a immune system capable of fighting back against these invaders.
不要无休止地把房间打扫得干干净净，尤其是有孩子的话。许多研究人员支持所谓的“卫生假设理论”——通过灰尘进入我们身体的细菌和病毒是创建强壮的免疫系统，抵抗入侵者所必需的。
Step 4 Take naps
4.午睡
Take half-hour naps a few times a week. People who do have lower rates of death from heart disease.
每周午睡几次，每次半小时。这样的人死于心脏病的几率更低。
Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep per night in addition to naps.
除了午睡之外，尽量保障每晚七到八小时的睡眠。
Step 5 Doodle
5.胡乱涂鸦
Go ahead and doodle as the boss drones on. Research shows that scribbling when you're bored improves concentration and memory.
老板喋喋不休说个不停的时候尽管胡乱涂鸦。研究表明，厌倦的时候胡乱涂鸦可以提高注意力和记忆力。
Step 6 Daydream
6.白日梦
Don't feel guilty about daydreaming. Scientists have discovered it's actually a stimulating mental activity that prepares the brain for complex problem-solving.
不要因为做白日梦而感到愧疚。科学家发现，做白日梦实际上是一种刺激性神经的活动，可以让大脑为解决复杂的问题做准备。
