Study links prolonged TV use to brain effects
The study indicates that spending long hours in front of the television causes a reduction in grey matter volume in the brain, increasing the risk of cognitive decline and leading to Alzheimer's disease and dementia, especially among men who watch TV extensively without breaks. Conversely, it has been shown that individuals engaged in office jobs that require mental activities such as reading and problem-solving tend to maintain better brain health as a result of building a "cognitive reserve." Additionally, exercising has not prevented the negative effects of television screens, highlighting the importance of focusing on the quality of mental activity during sitting.
