Who is not glued to the TV for the World Cup going on these days? Millions of people who didn’t get the chance to go to South Africa for the World Cup are watching TV. Unfortunately, British researchers have some bad news for them. It seems that they’ve found every hour of television watched per day increase the risk of dying from heart disease by seven per cent.
The research was conducted by the Medical Research Council studied more than 13,000 healthy middle aged men and women in Norfolk, for over 10 years. 373 of the 13,197 participants or one in 35 died from heart disease, and of these deaths, 30 could have been prevented if the average person watched one hour of television per day instead of four.
