Recent research from some Australia health experts revealed that individuals who sit to watch TV after the age of 22 are at the risk of a shortened lifespan, even if not by much. Also, over the years, researchers have shown that there is a relationship between obesity and hours spent watching TV. To avoid the dangers associated with long hours in front of TV, imbibe the habit of exercising, like simple sit-ups while watching a particular sitcom, or a sporting event, or a movie.

• There is a great deal of data that points to a link between television watching, obesity and potential morbidity.
• Data also suggests that constant sitting is also a corollary to obesity and its attendant ills.
• The good news is that you can watch television while not sitting, that is while exercising, thereby thumbing your nose at all the data.
