Early death 5 years by watching TV

Watching TV for 6 hours a day can cut your life nearly 5 years.

Studies conducted at ages 25 and older in Australia recommend that watching too much television will reduce your life expectancy by 5 years. Just watch TV for 1 hour, you will lose 22 minutes of life.

Watching a lot of television is reduced in life equivalent to smoking and obesity.

Another 2010 Australian study also showed that if watching TV for 1 hour a day, the risk of premature death will increase by about 8% . Thus, the rate of life expectancy due to watching television is much equivalent to the rate of life reduction in smoking is or obesity.

According to the Australian Board of Investigators, Australians spend an average of 2 hours in a day watching television. Thus, they will be reduced by 1.8 years of life in men, and 1.5 years in women. Meanwhile, British people watch an average of about 3 hours / day.

This can be logically understood to show us that physical activity is good for health. The opposite is not good.Sitting too much, too little exercise leads to a high risk of death, especially cardiovascular disease.

This study is based on the survey results from 1999-2000 with more than 11,000 participants aged 25 and over. This shows that a person watching TV on average 6 hours a day will die before people who do not watch about 4.8 years.
