television class=”centro”/>

know that television is the worst of all screens that can be exposed, as it not only encourages a sedentary lifestyle but also influences our eating habits, but to be missing reasons to move away from the TV, a recent study indicates that watching television increases heart risk in young adults .

The study analyzed the early signs in arteries in people between 32 and 36 years, depending on their activities, ie on hours spent in front of the television , practiced or performed exercise other activities.

The results clearly show that the more television consumed, had stiffer arteries and lack of arterial elasticity predisposes to hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases.

people tested who had stiffer carotid spent 20 minutes watching television, and the critical cutoff value were two hours of television.

Thus, people who watched more than two hours of television per day had higher cardiac risk because of arterial stiffness, and the same can not be reversed in people who consume a lot of television in addition to performing physical activity.

is, the consequences of spending many hours sitting in front of the TV can affect the health not only current but also future, so we should try to limit the time spent watching television sitting two or less hours per day every day.
