There is a connection between the number of hours a person spends watching TV and his/her cardiovascular health. The results of this study, which were recently published in the American Journal of Hypertension, are taken from the work on healthy lifestyles collected from six primary care centers in Barcelona, Zaragoza, Cuenca, Bilbao, Valladolid and Salamanca.

Researchers divided the number of hours spent watching television per week into three bands, (less than 10 hours, between 10 and 20 hours and over 20 hours). Consumers with over 20 hours of television showed higher pressure figures than the rest, so it follows that their cardiovascular health is worse.
