Sitting in front of TV can kill you

11 percent per day? Let's see.... that means I should have died about 37 years ago. :D

I read it like that the first time, but i think they mean if you watch 1hour a day you have a 9%increased chance, if you watch 2hours a day you have a 11% increase. This isn't over a day its over a lifetime.

Then i feel work is just as bad as this.
 
PM me if you want me to donate my Afrihost account to you, seeing as I will be dead on Thursday.
 
Worth it.
Btw which kind of television LCD / CRT / PLASMA / LED
And what kind of shows? The shows in Australia must bore people to death.
 
Has our life expectancy gone down since the invention of TV or PCs? Quite the opposite.

Instead of watching TV or computing, we used to spend our nights destroying our livers in pubs, getting into brawls, having indiscriminate sex, and dying of all manner of yechy social diseases.

the findings suggest that any prolonged sedentary behavior, such as sitting at a desk or in front of a computer, may pose a risk to one’s health. The human body was designed to move, not sit for extended periods of time

Even if someone has a healthy body weight, sitting for long periods of time still has an unhealthy influence on their blood sugar and blood fats

Inside some Chinese Traditional Medicine book (forgot the name), I read that CRT monitors or TVs give out continuous X-rays (radiation).

Also in another book (also forgot the name), I read that plants planted near CRT monitors or TVs started dieing after a few days.

Other reports have stated that Plasma TVs give out another sort of radiation.

In that same Chinese Traditional Medicine book was also stated that Fluorescent light bulbs and tubes, give out light rays that make people agitated and other detrimental effects. However, in most LCD displays the back-lighting is Fluorescent tubes.

White LEDs give out high frequency purple light, which according to an Alternative Healing book, prolonged exposure to purple light have depressing effects. You must remember that white LEDs was a flop, scientists was trying to make purple LEDs and the result was an "almost" white LED, giving rise to the now popular white LEDs.

According to Masaru Emoto's Water Crystal books, water that was placed near to a television, made ugly water crystals.

I sit in a car on my way to work, then I sit in front of a computer from 8AM-5PM, sit in the car back to home, and then sit in front of the pc from like 7:PM to anything between 11PM and 2AM

the only time i'm doing anything is when the GF is here, and that might only last for and hour or so :erm:

joining the gym from February though!
 
If you take a hard look around you everything will potentially bring you closer to death.

Truth is that I would rather die with a :D on my face that a solemn grimace ... like this or this!

PS. Everything in moderation! ;)
 
David O Sullivan on 702 this afternoon was asking for listeners to email him all/anything found in the media where authorities (not just in SA) tell us something will bring on premature death, cancer, disease or the like. Obvious stuff excluded. Will be putting together a list at the end of the year. I reckon he might just have enough to publish a book on it.
