TV Can Hurt Your Health

I am working on having a more active lifestyle, getting out and walking every night. My radio and my iPod are my friends, TV is my ENEMY!

Watching the tube for two to three hours a day or more is linked to higher risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and higher rates of early death from all causes, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

TV viewing can contribute to unhealthy eating, causing you to gain weight. Packing on pounds, in turn, boosts risk for diabetes, and heart attacks. If your daily exercise is pushing buttons on the remote, it can impact your health!
