Experts have warned against spending excessive time in front of the TV instead of engaging in physical activities.
According to details, experts in their released research stated that our findings are a message to people to replace the time spent watching TV with moderate to vigorous physical activity and sleep. This change is beneficial for healthy aging.
Researchers analyzed data from over 45,000 individuals aged 50 and older who were free from any chronic illness. They gathered information on people’s work, sitting time at home, TV viewing time and times standing or walking at home and at work following them for up to 20 years to assess how these behaviours correlated with aging.
Experts highlighted that the study’s results were not surprising as numerous studies indicate that sedentary behaviour such as lack of movement in physical activities significantly impacts health negatively.
