TV watching can cause diabetes!

Diabetes is associated with obesity which is epidemic in our society. Sedentary activities, such as TV watching also leads to weight gain.

In a study of over 3000 adults, researchers discovered that the more TV watched was significantly associated with a higher risk of diabetes (and weight gain). In addition, using counseling and lifestyle intervention they were able to decrease this risk as well as the amount of TV watched. This effect on weight and diabetes was even better than adding a medication (metformin) which is currently the first line treatment.

So get away from that poison screen and get out and exercise! You will live longer, and enjoy life more!
