Reasoning Studies conducted at the University of Otago, New Zealand, have shown that children who watch television for more than two hours a day face increased health problems later in life, including obesity, high blood cholesterol and heart problems. It is a well-researched fact that obesity can be caused by poor diet or by a lack of physical exercise, but watching television seems to have a more significant link to obesity than other sedentary activities such as reading, writing or driving. Researchers at Harvard have discovered that watching television slows the metabolism and causes fewer calories to be burned than these other activities, and there seems to be a negative correlation between the metabolic rate and the number of hours of TV watched. Many families eat their evening meal in front of the television and watching television also encourages unnecessary eating of snacks.
