Binge watching TV in your 20s could potentially lead to a mental decline later in life. TV combined with lack of exercise has been known to be a combination resulting health problems, but a new study highlights the specific issue with these habits in young adults. “Those who reported watching the most TV (usually more than three hours a day) and doing the least physical activity (usually less than two and half hours a week) had the worst decline in cognitive functioning …But the study’s results are not conclusive. It could be that those who have low cognitive functioning are more likely to sit around and watch a lot of TV. Or that a lot of TV and no moving around lead to some other condition, such as poor heart health, inflammation, obesity or depression, which might be affecting the brain’s performance…” Even with inconclusive results the takeaway is to get off the couch and start exercising to better your overall health and quality of life.
