Binge watching may increase your heart disease risk
Binge watching TV may be a greater risk factor for heart disease and premature death among African Americans than sitting at a desk job, according to new research in Journal of the American Heart Association, the Open Access Journal of the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association.
According to the author, these latest findings suggest that television-watching may be the most harmful sedentary behavior. Moreover, the findings revealed that the amount of television watched made a difference. African Americans who watched more than four hours of television every day faced a 50% greater risk of heart disease and premature death compared with those who watched less than two hours.
