WATCH LESS TV & LIVE LONGER

A survey done in 2008 found that the average American watches more than 5 hours of TV every day.

In a new study from Australia, researchers found that watching more than 4 hours of TV per day significantly increased your risk of dying from any cause, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. What's more interesting is that the people in this study were exercising an average of 30-45 minutes a day. So live a more active and productive life, watch as little TV as possible (less than 2 hours a day), and you will be healthier and happier.
