Has clearly been reading my blog.
The Hazards of the Couch
"The study followed 4,512 middle-aged Scottish men for a little more than four years on average. It found that those who said they spent two or more leisure hours a day sitting in front of a screen were at double the risk of a heart attack or other cardiac event compared with those who watched less. Those who spent four or more hours of recreational time in front of a screen were 50 percent more likely to die of any cause. It didn’t matter whether the men were physically active for several hours a week — exercise didn’t mitigate the risk associated with the high amount of sedentary screen time."
Last night I watched the Michigan/Ohio State basketball game, followed it with The Bourne Identity (more on this later), and an episode of Friday Night Lights - Season three (more on this, too).
Great.
The alternative was meeting friends at Cafe, waiting in line for an hour, and then catching Go Go Gadget, a band that KDR and I were friends with when they were just babies.
It's cold outside and I'm hibernating anyway... although article referenced at top of page maybe says I shouldn't be...
