Watching TV Shortens Life Span | March, 2010

According to a recent article published on HealthKey.com, watching too much television can shorten our longevity. Studies have indicated that watching too much television can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. According to Dr. Prediman K. Shah, director of the cardiology division of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, the more we’re inactive, the more we jeopardize our long-term health. When we’re watching TV, we’re not using our muscles. Muscle contraction helps the body break down glucose to use as energy and when the glucose isn’t broken down properly, insulin resistance can occur, oftentimes leading to the onset of type II diabetes. The article also states that women and men, who work out regularly but sit often, should also find ways to increase daily activity to avoid health challenges brought on by sedentary lifestyles.

BodyLogicMD’s bioidentical hormone doctors help women and men fine-tune their health, using a three-pronged approach to wellness, combining bioidentical hormone therapy with customized nutrition and fitness regimens. It’s important to remember that our lifestyle dictates our longevity and overall quality of life. We have to make it a priority to get fit and eat right now, before it’s too late.
