A study by the American Diabetes Association followed 41,811 men ages 40 to 75 over a 10-year period. A direct association was observed between television watching and risk of developing diabetes. The men who reported sitting in front of a television more than 19 hours per week were more than 150% more likely to become diabetic than those who watched less than three hours a week. “Bubble gum for the eyes,” Steve Allen called it. Television watching is another form of inactivity, and as was just pointed out, increasing evidence suggests that exercise is protective against the development of Type-2 diabetes mellitus. Every two hours per week you spend watching television instead of pursuing something more active increases your chances of developing diabetes by 14%.
