Is Your TV making You
FAT ?
|
|
|
by Janice Elizabeth Small
How much time do you spend watching TV? Do you watch
Television for at least two hours a day?
A recent study of more than 68,000 American women
over a 6 year period showed that regularly watching just two hours of TV a
day increased the risk of developing obesity by 23 per cent and type 2
diabetes by 14 per cent.
Now, it has to be said that merely watching TV
cannot make you fat. It's what else you are doing or not doing because
you're watching TV that makes the difference.

When you're watching TV you're not pottering
around the house tidying up. When you're slumped on your sofa in front of
"Desperate Housewifes", you're not weeding your garden or going for a
walk or a bike ride. When you watch TV you're using up only about 70 calories an
hour, while playing with your kids or cooking a meal from scratch uses about
four times as much. Just half an hour watching TV instead of being active and
you're taking the equivalent of over 38,000 calories or more than 10lbs of fat
a year unless you eat less to make up for it.
What's more, TV steals time right from under your nose.
Do you watch TV for two hours a night but say you don't
have time to exercise? Do you watch TV and eat ready meals because you think you
don't have time to make a healthy dinner? If you are not finding the time to
care properly for yourself, yet finding an hour or more for the latest episode
of those shows you "just can't miss", then Television is stealing time from
you!

And TV encourages poor eating habits. When you
view you are fair game for the junk food ads that come on constantly and
persuade you that you need something to eat. And lets face it a stick of celery
just doesn't fit the bill. So you get out the tortilla chips, popcorn or nuts
and mindlessly eat through the whole bag - a recipe for piling on the pounds.
Now, you may see the sense in all this, but still not want
to give up your beloved TV. Do you really need to do that to lose weight?
No, not at all!
But you do need to think about what TV is costing you and
treat it with caution.
If you limit your viewing to only those shows you really
like, (and a maximum of 1 or 2 a day) you'll still have plenty of time for
taking care of yourself. Plan your viewing and switch off when your show is
over. Deliberately get up and do something else.
To avoid snacking all evening, don't eat in front of the
TV at all. But if you really must have a snack, put a small portion in a bowl or
on a plate rather than eating from the bag. You're less likely to eat the whole
packet empty then!
And if you're really keen to combat TV weight gain, you
could try being active while you view. Do your ironing or a few exercises in
front of the TV. It will stop you nibbling snacks and use some calories. Maybe
it's even time to dust off that exercise bike and retrieve it from the basement
or attic. Just think, you could cycle half way round the world while your TV
provides all the entertainment you need!
