It has been revealed that if you watch television for three hours or more every day, you are at risk of an early death.
A study led by Professor Miguel Martinez-Gonzalez, the Chairman of the Department of Public Health at the University of Navarra in Pamplona, showed that the risk of premature death was twofold higher for those watching three or more hours of TV a day compared to those watching one hour or less.
"Television viewing is a major sedentary behaviour and there is an increasing trend toward all types of sedentary behaviours. Our findings are consistent with a range of previous studies where time spent watching television was linked to mortality," the professor said.
