How TV is bad for you?

Answer 1

TV makes you not focus on things that are important..like studying, taking care of your family, etc. it is a waste of time. Also people you watch tv are prone to Heart diseases, obesity, and cancer. A little bit o tv is ok..but more than an hour a day is too much

Answer:It's not television that's bad for you, it's a person's natural propensity to remain passive for long periods of time because passive entertainment can be addictive to some individuals. While some say it is a waste of time, that is a subjective elitist view and not based on facts. There are many programs that are highly informational about a variety of subjects. There are new programs to keep you informed of what's happening in your area, state, county and the world. There is also entertainment programming that, when watched in moderation, is not bad for you at all, but relaxes the mind from the daily pressures of work or school. It also provides viewers with an escape from reality, which HAS been scientifically proven to improve people's emotional state when anxious.

Again, the problem is when someone watches TV for long periods of time, many days at a time. With all of the programming out there to watch, people can become sedentary which, if they don't exercise will lead to weight gain that can lead to obesity, which can lead to Heart disease and possibly cancer.

There is also the fact that watching a TV show (like doing to a play, the Ballet, the opera and the movies) is passive for your mind. It's easier than reading, but it doesn't work the synapses the way reading, word games or puzzles do.

The trick is to make sure you exercise at least 30 minutes each day, read each day to keep your mind sharp, and limit your entertainment television viewing to a couple of hours a day, and you won't have to worry about television being bad for you - because it's not. Your choices make the difference.
