Reducing television time can lessen the risk of heart disease.

According to studies, one out of every ten occurrences of heart disease may be avoided if people reduced their time spent watching television.

According to Cambridge University experts, lingering around after a large evening meal, as well as nibbling in front of the TV, all raise the chance of illness.

They claim that if people watched less than an hour of television per day, they could prevent more than one out of every ten cases of coronary heart disease.

But if that isn’t possible, they advise skipping the chips and chocolates.

The data from the UK Biobank study on 373,026 persons was used in the study, which was published in the journal BMC Medicine.

Over a 13-year period, researchers discovered that persons who watched less than an hour of TV each day had a 16% lower risk of coronary heart disease than those who watched more than four hours per day.

Those who watched two to three hours of TV every day had a 6% lower risk of getting the disease than those who watched more than four hours.

“In addition to limiting the actual amount of time you sit watching TV, there are additional measures that you may take, such as breaking up your TV viewing and doing some mild exercise in between,” author Dr. Youngwon Kim said.

You should also try to limit your snacking, especially on high-calorie foods like chips and chocolate.
