Mdical Insurance – Television Could Be Killing You

Posted on January 22, 2010, 4:21 pm, by fast quote online, under General Insurance, Health Insurance.

Get a health insurance quote – On average, Americans watch 31 hours of television per week. And new research shows that your television could be killing you–at least in one sense.

Data from an Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle study, which followed 8,800 male and female participants, found a strong correlation between sedentary television viewing and premature death.

According to the study, for each hour per day spent in front of the television, the risk of developing fatal cardiovascular disease increased 18%, the risk of deadly cancer rose 9%, and overall risk of death jumped 11%.

The study also found that those who watch more than four hours of television per day were 80% more likely to die from cardiovascular disease and 46% more likely to die from any cause than those who watched two hours or fewer per day.

The good news? Television watching in itself is not dangerous, but a predominantly sedentary lifestyle is. You can watch as much television as you want, but you have to get your blood pumping while you do it. For starters, try riding an exercise bike while watching your favorite program, or taking a stroll on a treadmill while watching the news.

If you’re not yet ready to get off the couch, you can get healthier by substituting the bag of potato chips and pork rinds for a stick of celery or an apple.

If you won’t give it a try for your health, how about your pocketbook? You’ll be amazed how much you’ll save on health insurance–and your grocery bill–by shedding a few pounds.
