Watching TV has always been one of the favorite pastimes of many people around the world. Yet, it seems that watching too much television can be very emotional.
Like new research, the habit of watching television over time can increase the risk of heart disease.
Researchers have compiled data from UK Biobank to determine if there was a link between screen-based behavior such as watching TV or using a computer for relaxation and one’s risk of heart disease.
A study by a team of experts from the University of Cambridge and the University of Hong Kong revealed that watching television for less than an hour daily could prevent 11 percent of all heart attacks.
The researchers found that leisure time spent online did not appear to have any effect on the risk of disease.
During the study, they found that people who watched more than four hours a day were at greater risk for heart disease. The researchers found that people who watched two to three hours a day had a 6 percent lower risk of developing the condition.
In comparison, people who watched television for less than an hour had a 16 percent lower rate compared, the study revealed.
In the study, researchers compiled polygenic risk points for more than 500,000 people. The degree of polygenic risk is human risk compared to others with a different genetic predisposition. The study found that organizations were independent of the genetic predisposition and other known risk factors.
Repeatedly, several health experts have stated that stuttering is one of the most dangerous causes of heart disease. Basically, prolonged sitting instead of exercise increases the risk of heart disease.
