Television has become a big part of our lives, and central to our living spaces. It informs us, entertains us, and makes us feel part of a wider community. But have you ever stopped to think about the impact that it has on your health?

Sitting idle for extended periods is not ideal for the human body. In fact, inactivity has the potential to make us more prone to injury and illness. It’s almost the case that if you rest, you rust.

What’s becoming more evident is that television can impact upon your body shape. While the actual act of television viewing won’t make you fat, there are a number of indirect ways that it can influence your health.

Another important consideration is the amount of time people invest in watching television, which can amount to several hours in some cases. The ultimate irony is that one of the main barriers people quote for not exercising is a lack of time.

So there you have it. A simple solution to improving your health – watch less television. Switch off the big screen and tune into more exercise. Use the time to be active, stretch, garden or prepare healthy meals. Your body will thank you for it

How many hours do you watch a day? Do you snack while watching TV? How else could you better use the time spent watching television?
