Sitting in front of the TV is as harmful to health as smoking or physical inactivity, the results of an Australian study showed.
A group of scientists from the University of Queensland used information from the Australian Institute of Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Research during the research and during it 11.000 people over the age of 25 were surveyed.
Research has shown that watching television for an average of six hours a day can reduce life expectancy by five years, and that after 25 years of life, every hour spent in front of the television reduces life expectancy by 22 minutes.
