It has been shown that reducing TV viewing time can result in calorie consumption. [사진=클립아트코리아]A recent study showed that children should be banned from watching screens until they are 3 years old. The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA Pediatrics), found that infants and toddlers allowed to watch screens were more likely to exhibit atypical sensory behaviors associated with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). appeared to be higher.
There are several studies that have analyzed the impact of screen time, or the time spent using devices such as TVs, computers, and game consoles, on health. Among these, research has shown that reducing the amount of time you spend watching TV burns calories as if you were exercising in earnest, helping prevent overweight or obesity.
A research team at the University of Vermont conducted a clinical test on 36 people who watched TV for an average of 3 hours or more a day to determine how much more calories they would burn if they reduced their TV viewing. Twenty of the study subjects reduced their viewing time by half for three weeks, while the remaining 16 watched as usual and compared the calories burned between the two groups.
They did not restrict their food intake and did not exercise separately using a treadmill. The results of the study showed that simply reducing watching TV and engaging in light activities such as housework, yoga, and stretching was effective in burning calories.
The group that watched less TV burned an average of 120 more calories per day than the group that did not watch TV. The research team explained, “This is equivalent to walking 1 mile (about 1.6 km) a day.”
The research team said, “Because this was a short-term study, reducing TV viewing did not directly lead to weight loss, but it was confirmed that it had a positive effect on preventing obesity and overweight.” Reducing TV viewing also helped alleviate chronic sleep disorders. “You can get it,” he added.
The results of this study (Effects of Television Viewing Reduction on Energy Intake and Expenditure in Overweight and Obese Adults A Randomized Controlled Trial) were published in the academic journal Archives of Internal Medicine.
