Tip of the Day
Too Much TV?
There's no doubt that spending hours in front of the television causes us to overeat, but does this pastime also compromise other aspects of our health? An analysis published by the Journal of the American Medical Association found that spending hours in front of the TV was linked to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Instead of watching TV, you could:
- Take a walk
- Visit friends
- Read a book
- Take an exercise class
- Cook a healthy dinner
