Effect of watching too much Television How do you spend your free time? Jogging, listening to music or hanging out with your friends? There are many ways to do in order not to be boring. As we know, watching TV is the most popular past time activities. TV was invented with positive thoughts in mind – there would be no national borders, education and communication would be worldwide, etc.
However, we are now trying to overcome its physiological and psychological effects on human. Eye-strain is one of the physiological effects of watching too much TV. If you keep watching TV for a long time, your eye will get tired. Many people, especially children and teenagers, get Myopia because of watching too much Television. Their vision is worse than they used to be. Watching too much TV can affect you eating habits. When children get back from school, when parents get back from work, they want to relax, so they sit back on the couch in the living room and open up the TV.
Then they go to get something to eat and drink to increase the excitement of watching TV. In my opinion, when you are supposed to have lunch at a certain time in the day, with your family, and you have already eaten something before, you no longer have the appetite and you end up eating at a later hour, or even eating nothing. Therefore your meals are not equal, which means you won’t have enough energy for a long day. Obesity ———————– Name: Bich Tram Class: IE 4. 5 – M4 Name: Bich Tram Class: IE 4. 5 – M4
