Television Viewing

The British Journal of Sports Medicine have published an article stating that watching too much television could reduce life expectancy.

The article suggested that watching television of more than an average of 6 hours per day over a lifetime can reduce life expectancy by nearly 5 years, compared to persons that watch less television.

It was concluded that television viewing time may be comparable to other major chronic risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity.
