Watching TV Really not Good for Your Heart

Be careful!! TV is currently in your room may be your biggest invisible enemy. Every hour you spend time in front of TV every day can increase the chance of death from heart disease by one-fifths. Wow, that is shocking news! Is that true?? Well, I do not talk nonsense here. This fact is the result of research conducted by Australian scientist, led by Professor Dunstan. They had been observed around 9.000 people over the past six years, classifying them into groups based on how much they watch TV. The result, the group  that watched the most (four or more hours an day) were 80 % more likely to develop heart disease and die from it.
How?? What’s wrong with TV?? Nothing is wrong, heart attack not consequent by the TV directly. This is more because of our habit of watching TV. Recognized or not, only TV or DVD that can make us sit in silence for many hours everyday. That is the real problem, not the TV!
“Even if someone has a healthy body weight, sitting for long periods of time still has unhealthy influence on their blood sugar and blood fats,” says Professor David Dunstan, the study’s lead researcher.
"What has happened is that a lot of the normal activities of daily living that involved standing up and moving the muscles in the body have been converted to sitting," he said. "Technological, social, and economic changes mean that people don't move their muscles as much as they used to - consequently the levels of energy expenditure as people go about their lives continue to shrink."
So what should you do? Get moving! Find creative ways to keep mobile -- bike instead of drive, do chores while watching tv, throw away the remote -- and you'll give yourself the best chance for a long and healthy life.
Any other idea?
