I READ THE NEWS TODAY (oh boy!)
A new STUDY shows that every hour per day spent in front a computer raises your risk of early death from heart disease by 18%. Meaning, someone who spends an average of two hours a day is 36% more susceptible than someone who spends none, even if they're not obese and exercise.
RAISING the RISK of dying from cancer by 8%, and all causes 11%. The Australian study actually looked at more than 8,000 people who spent more than four hours of a day.
BUT the problem isn't the watching YouTube or tweeting, it's sitting down for long periods of time.
