Too Much TV Linked To Heart Attack and Increased Death Risk...
Dear Reader,
Spending too much time in front of the TV or at the computer might increase your risk of heart disease according to a recent British study conducted by a group of international researchers.
In fact, if you spent 4 hours a day or more of your time sitting you're more than two times as likely to suffer a heart related (heart attack, stroke, heart failure, death) event.
Lead researcher Emmanuel Stamatakis, a senior research associate at University College London believes that screen time can be very detrimental to health.
We spend so much time in work, or commuting to and from work, it's even more important than ever that our leisure time doesn't involve as much sitting, and calls for more motion.
The report appears in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
For the study, the team collected data on 4,542 adults who took part in the 2003 Scottish Health Survey. Work and recreation in Scotland are very close to the habits of the rest of the Western world. Among other questions, the survey asked about leisure time activities. During 4.3 years of follow up, 325 of the subjects died and 205 had a heart event according to the report.
The researchers found that compared to those who spent less than 2 hours a day in front of a screen, those who spent 4 or more hours there had a 48% increased risk of dying from any cause, and a 125% upped risk for having a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure. This remained even after accounting for factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, weight, social class and exercise.
Important to note, exercising didn't mitigate the harm linked with all the time spent in front of the screen... TV or computer.
Biology also plays a part. One fourth of the link between screen time and heart attack was linked to levels of C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation) along with weight and cholesterol. This suggests that inflammation and high cholesterol, along with sitting for longer periods, might increase the risk for heart events say researchers.
What can you do if your work involves the computer? Or you unwind in front of the TV or computer screen?
Limit the time you spend sitting in front of the screen to two hours a day. If sitting is an unavoidable part of your workday, be sure to take breaks, even as short as a minute or two, as often as you can. Stand up, move around, climb stairs... whatever gets your heart pumping. And consider spending your leisure time doing something that gets you moving... stretch, take up yoga, lift weights, challenge others to see who can do the most push ups or some other exercise during TV commercial breaks.
You might also want to try these ways to limit screen time in your house...
- Keeping a TV or computer out of the bedroom. Kids who have a TV in their bedrooms spend about 1.5 hours more watching a day than kids who don't.

Too Much TV Linked To Heart Attack and Increased Death Risk... Continued...
- Turn off the TV during meals, and talk instead. Families who
eat together eat more nutritious meals according to research. Eating together
at least two to three times a week is a smart start.
- Keep track of how much time you actually spend in front of
the TV or computer.
- Give ideas about the alternatives to TV and the computer,
playing outside, working on a hobby or practicing a sport. After all, the TV/computer
can be a habit that can be broken, or curtailed.
- Don't use TV as reward/punishment, especially for kids. This
makes TV or the computer seem more important to young people.
Other experts agree that the current study helps people understand the role that
a sedentary lifestyle has on the risks to your heart. To help yourself, make
a determined effort to sit less and move more... work on perfecting skills like
playing basketball, riding a bike, hiking with friends or other activities.
To your good health,
