Study warns TV affects brain health
A American study has been published warning that excessive television watching, especially during middle age, can negatively affect brain health and increase the risk of dementia after about 20 years. Researchers followed the condition of 1,700 individuals between 1987 and 1989, and the results showed that those who spend many hours in front of the screen experience a reduction in the size of important brain areas, such as those associated with memory, planning, and attention, compared to those who watch television in moderation. The researchers confirmed that continuous engagement in mentally demanding activities that require focus and thinking enhances cognitive health, whereas excessive viewing can lead to changes that may cause deterioration of cognitive functions over time.
