FOR THE LOVE OF IT (PART 1)
Do you find it difficult to resist the temptation of watching television programmes? If you say yes, then you must have to change that habit because scientist now say that every hour spent on watching TV each day increases the risk of dying from heart disease.
Scientist at the Epitomology unit of the United Kingdom's Medical Research Council in June found that every hour spent watching Tv per day, increases the risk of death from heart disease by seven percent even after the risk factors like smoking, obesity,poor diet and lack of exercises are put into account.
For almost a decade, researchers have studied 13,200 middle-aged, healthy men and women in Norfolk, England. At that time 383 of the people died of heart diseases, according to the findings of the researchers. These deaths could have been reduced if 30 of the peo a repetitive brain disorder from texting and the Korean couple who were building a "cyber-baby" on the internet to look after their real life offspring.
Gurgling email, phone calls and other incoming information can change how we think and behave. It undermines our ability to focus. Having Twitter, Face book,Digg, RSS, email feeds open at the same time capitalize on a physiological response to threat or opportunities. This stimulation provokes excitement in the form of a dopamine squirt, which can be addictive. It can have deadly consequence- which is why talking on the phone while driving is not good.
Now, how can you tell if you've got an addiction? There are questions you can answer for yourself: Do you ignore and avoid other work because of the internet? Are you spending time using computers for gaming or surfing web?
If you fall do these things then you can be described as an addict. It is like a person who can't do without drugs. Do not neglect the basic care of yourself such as eating and hygiene. You need to keep an eye out for back pains, headache, obesity.
Let this be a warning to us all that gaming are bringing social media into the physical realm much more and it is only set to be a greater part of our day-to-day activities. Texting in both the toilet and bathroom is just beginning.
