Turn off the Tube!

When I read magazines, I rip pages out that I think I will use later on for some purpose.

Out of the June 2009 issue of the Prevention magazine, I cut out this little tidbit:

151 - The number of hours per month the average American spends watching TV.

60 - The number of hours per month of TV watching associated with a 23% higher risk of obesity.

60 - The number of hours per month of TV watching associated with a 14% increased risk of diabetes.

30 - The maximum number of hours per month of TV watching recommended for ideal health.
