Too Much TV Leads To Earlier Death
Dear Reader,
According to a new Australian study set to appear in the January 26, 2009 print edition of the journal Circulation, watching too much TV won't just leave you brain dead - It may actually take years off your life.
In fact, the more time you spend in front of the tube, the greater your risk of dying at an earlier age.
Earlier work had found a link between the time we spend sitting and heart disease (and death), but this is the first research to look specifically at TV watching, one of our most common activities.
Adults in Australia average about three hours of television watching each day, but in the U.S. the average is estimated to be as much as five hours a day.
Interestingly other activities that require sitting, like reading or doing homework, don't seem to be linked to the risks of early death as much as time spent in front of the TV.
Maybe it's the inactivity and the snacks...
The latest work, which controlled for diet quality and calorie intake, involved a six-year follow up of 8,800 adults (284 died during the study) who didn't have any history of heart disease.
Those who watched four hours or more of TV a day were 80% more likely to die from heart disease; 46% more likely to die early from any cause, as those who watched less than two hours of television each day.
Each added hour in front of the TV upped the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by 18%, and the overall risk of early death by 11%.
The pattern held up even after the researchers accounted for overall health and the education levels of the subjects. Age, smoking history, cholesterol numbers and blood pressure were also considered.

There's an overwhelming body of research that shows most diets aren't effective in the long term because they work AGAINST the body... In fact most people who diet end up putting ON more weight than when they started. It's because most diets deprive you of the foods you enjoy, stop you getting the nutrients you need...basically forcing your body into 'starvation mode'...

Too Much TV Leads To Earlier Death Continued...
And if you think that exercising will counter the damage of too much TV, the research found that being active didn't necessarily make up for the long hours in front of the TV. Watching burns about as many calories as sleeping, and this reduces how much overall energy you body puts out, as well as stops the body from using muscles and processing sugars and fats.
Even when the team compared groups of adults who exercised the same amount, but watched different amounts of TV, they found that those who watched more TV were still at a higher risk of dying earlier than those who watched less. A little exercise, while better than one at all, is just not enough.
It's not that TV is replacing exercise time, but it does cut down on everyday movements like standing and walking around, and study lead author David Dunstan, Ph.D., the head of the physical activity lab at the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in Victoria, Australia, believes the positive health benefits of these actions are underestimated.
"Prolonged watching of television equals a lot of sitting, which invariably means there's an absence of muscle movement," says Dunstan. Muscles that stay inactive for too long can disrupt your metabolism, but he cautions that TV isn't the only thing to blame for our lack of activity.
More and more of us sit behind desks at work all day, technology like e-mail and instant messaging have made it easier to stay put - Appliances make everyday chores faster and less physically demanding, and all these things have combined to make our lifestyles less active overall.
To avoid long periods of sitting, you might try...
- Propping your monitor up with a few books so that you need to stand up for a while.
- Stand while on the phone.
- At regular intervals, get up and move around - take a walk, stretch, get a drink.
- Get up during commercials - fold laundry, feed a pet, empty the trash.
To your good health,
