Every extra hour of TV threatens a stroke

The more time you spend in front of the TV, the worse it is. American scientists found out that for people over 60, every extra hour in front of the TV increases the risk of stroke by 14%.

Scientists from the University of San Diego conducted a study that can be called another recommendation to get up more often sofa As a person ages, strength is left, and his movements become slower. This makes it more convenient for people to just sit on the couch and do nothing. And the most interesting thing is to watch TV or read something, DailyMail reports.

But a sedentary lifestyle after 60 and 70 is an extremely dangerous thing. Each additional hour spent sitting increases the risk of stroke by 14%, the study found.

People who are sedentary for 13 or more hours a day are 44% more likely to have a stroke, compared to by those who spend no more than 11 hours in a sitting position.

In contrast, performing just 25 minutes of moderate physical activity such as walking or cycling every day reduces the risk of an acute cerebrovascular accident by 40%.

Previous research has already shown that a sedentary lifestyle can cause fatty deposits, or plaque, to build up in our arteries. And this increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Physical exercise helps reduce the risk of stroke by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. All this reduces the level of fatty deposits in the arteries.
