Take care of all the title of a newspaper or a blog, that the problem starts.
Generally, the answer is no, and a means for the author to capture the reader's attention and then move on to annoy them. I'll try not to give my conclusion straight out - no, watching television will not make you die young.
I asked the question because of an investigation that could get some media attention. Published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that, compared to those who do not see on television, those who spend an average life of six hours per day watching expect to live nearly five years younger .
The UK average watch television three hours a day, so you might think you're ready. But according to research from the University of Queensland, watching television all shorten your life.
The author of the research paper by Dr. Lennert Veerman, the Center for the disease burden and cost-effectiveness, said it had adjusted their searches in order to exclude those who were physically active while watching TV - like running a treadmill or rowing.
As someone who works in television, I told him I was worried that it might be slowly killing my audience. I was more concerned about the conclusions of the paper that "television can have adverse health consequences that compete with physical inactivity, obesity and smoking. Each hour of television watched can shorten life by up to 22 min"
War and Peace
We all know for sure that smoking is really very, very bad for us. But this study shows that watching television can be a par. In fact, it also suggests that those over 25, accounted for half an hour watching "could reduce the duration of the same extent" as the smoke of a cigarette.
One of the obvious danger is that smokers say that their method is not worse than the TV, so that could also continue.
So what about people who do not see anyone, or not much television? Probably many of them spend time reading books. Sitting reading is a sedentary occupation, and yet no one suggests that you should avoid "War and Peace" or later, long Harry Potter novels.
I put this to Dr. Veerman who can not be accepted that TV viewing itself short life expectancy "It is always possible that the effects are associated with lifestyle rather than their own television viewing," said Dr. Richard Veerman.
Overweight
Which means that people who watch a lot of TV tend to lead to an unhealthy, sedentary lifestyles. Six hours of television did not kill them, but the probability that you are filling the rest of the waking hours of healthy exercise. Those who watch TV can be enormous even more likely to be a poor diet and being overweight.
Have you noticed how many used umbrellas when it rains? So use an umbrella is associated with wet weather, but common sense tells us no cause rain umbrellas. It is common sense, of course, but science and statistics can also be easily taken out of context and divorced from reality.
Earlier this year, an American study has shown that more than two hours a day viewing share significantly increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and more than three hours of viewing per day increased risk of death premature.
Health Benefits
The paper said it was not to watch TV for long periods, it was unhealthy, but it reflects an unhealthy lifestyle.
Dr. Veerman said his latest research is intended to be a positive message, that every step is important. In other words, small changes in lifestyle - such as watching less TV and do something active - can get significant health benefits.
This point is emphasized in another recent study on physical activity, researchers from Taiwan. The Lancet online, it is proposed that 15 minutes of physical activity per day can reduce the risk of a person's death and 14% increase in life expectancy of three years, compared to inactive .
The researchers analyzed the results of medical examinations more than 400,000 people in Taiwan, with an average follow-up for eight years. They found that every 15 minutes of daily physical activity for more than 15 minutes a day to further reduce the mortality rate of 4%.
Last month, the Department of Health has updated its advice on physical activity each week. It is recommended that 150 minutes per week, and "reduce and minimize periods of sedentary behavior." Even if they can not handle 150 minutes of exercise a week, but about 90 minutes, you can still get significant benefits.
Taiwan and Australia, as well as research in the same direction - that exercise is good, and even small changes in lifestyle can help us lead longer, healthier lives.
I will not give up TV or long novels, but I could try to snack less and walk more.
