    Fortunately, I do not belong to that category who watch TV for 3-4 hours. By the way, is there anything worth watching for 3-4 hours ? I watch TV for news and switch off.

    That is terrifying, watching three hours a day and comprehensive study in this matter is still awaiting.

    These are the findings of a Body of scientists. They have conducted a survey before they found the ill effects of TV viewing for long hours.

    I read news in newspaper and internet only. These days TV news are very tiring. They waste hours even for petty information.

    Most of these news are from news traders and most of time discussion are so tiring that one gets headache from it, most of time I see dd news, loksabha tv and rajya sabha tv.

    I don't think people should be giving importance to such half baked news. The link does not provide detail about the studies apart from conclusion that watching t.v for more than three hours could lead to premature death. for instance, the detail about the people under study, their life style and the probable mechanism which could relate death and watching television etc are not mentioned. and as many readers had pointed out watching television and viewing television means the same thing. We cannot even ascertain the authenticity of the study

    I too felt the same after going through the link...It again depends on what you are watching, a scary or horifying movie may increase your heartbeat but watching something without actually absorbing it even for 4 hours may not have any effect. The only negative impact I can think of is the level of inactivity while watching TV continuously for 3 or more hours which may be bad for our system!

    Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

    The only plausible reason I see here is that watching TV for straight 3-4 hours or more leads to inactivity and people when watching TV for such a long time usually sit sloppily with shoulders hunched and much on oily snacks while doing so. That and lack of exercise does tend to increase blood pressure, weight gain etc. and thus short lifespan. As to the authenticity of study, that does leave some questions unanswered.

    Watching a tensed match if some one is fan of any particular game or watching daily soaps which gives so much tension and negativity and watching tv for long hours gives way to idleness and it leads to bad fooding habits. All these can be problem in long run.
