It’s a turn-off!
Here’s a good reason to get your kids away from the television: They’ll be healthier as adults!
Children who watch two or more hours of television a day face an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular problems when they grow up. TV tots were also more likely to have higher rates of mental-health problems, physical woes, weight issues, smoking, high cholesterol, and more.
So what’s a parent to do? Limit television viewing to one to two hours per day, experts advise. In fact, less than an hour a day is even better, they say. Include computer time in that limit for even better health for your kids.
