How watching too much television can kill you.. literally

TELLY addicts have been warned that each hour a day in front of the box boosts the risk of dying from heart disease by a fifth.

Researchers found that people who spent more than four hours a day watching TV were 80 per cent more likely to die from cardiac illness than those who watched less than two hours.

David Dunstan, who led the Australian study, said: "Many people simply shift from the car to the office to the chair in front of the television. Sitting for long periods has an unhealthy influence on body sugar and blood fats."

The sad truth is that most of us spend years of our time doing things that are bad for our health.

Whether we waste days watching mind-numbing reality TV or stuffing junk food into our mouths, there's no doubt we could be making better use of our time.
