Every hour of TV = 22 minutes less life


That's right -- watching TV for an hour a day subtracts 22 minutes from your life -- about the same as smoking cigarettes. Take a look at the summary of the study here:

Worth it? Probably not.

Good news? 15 minutes of exercise everyday will add 3 years to your life.

So, if you want to live a long, healthy life, take 15 minutes of TV time out of your schedule and use them in some kind of fitness activity.

Train hard; diet harder.
