Five Reasons Why We Should Not Watch TV Too Much

Television viewing has already become a part of most people's daily habits.Some can't even sleep if they can't watch their favorite TV shows before going to bed.

While TV shows are informative and interesting,some of its programs are also destructive not only to the young viewers but also to the adults.Here's why:

1.Commercials: Though these just take few seconds of viewing,they usually create a great impact on the way you see things.These short programs are designed to sell you stuffs by touching your guilt point if not your curiosity..a psychological way that works effectively by bombarding your brain with these repetitive information until its coded into your subconscious mind.The reason why so many attractive people still find themselves unhappy and not contented with their looks and some girls buy stuffs to make them look better and feel better if not starving themselves just to look skinny.They usually put the viewers into a mindset of guilt with poor sense of self-worth.

2.It creates bad habits : Having too much attachment to your favorite programs can lead you to poor eating habits.Instead of spending some time preparing and cooking healthy dishes in the kitchen,we would tend to be always in a hurry in order to catch certain TV programs...so we prefer to buy more expensive prepared meal ready to be reheated(or takeout meals like pizza or burgers).Poor eating habits lead to poor health because it limits your time to eat healthy and do exercise.Some people even eat in front of their TV.Watching late night shows can also lead to sleep disorder and insomnia.

3.Less communication in the family: Because each viewer's attention is focused on the TV shows,it's more likely difficult to have real conversations with the people in the house.Less communication between couple and their kids mean weaker establishment of their relationship...which could eventually lead to stress.A TV in the bedroom is a big blockage for a couple's romance and sex.Couples tend to fall asleep waiting for their partner to finish watching TV.Divided attention between TV and spouse could create stress that would turn into disputes and unsolved issues.

4.Missed time for other opportunities: Spending too much time a day watching TV is a hindrance for a person to do more quality time for a productive life.Instead of wathing TV for hours we could have done other things like playing with the kids,doing chores like cleaning the house,calling some friends,gardening,or learning a new skill or simply doing your hobby of painting or cooking new dishes.

5.It adds up to your bills: Having 1 or more TV in the house consumes electricity and if you get a connection from a company then it means you also have to pay another monthly bills for the cable/satellite services.These expenses if put into a savings account could make you spend a nice vacation after a few years.

Minding what you can get out of watching TV can make you realize how much wasted time you have spent and how many opportunities you have missed.By cutting your TV hours spent,you can not only build stronger family ties but also save some money and learn new skills as well as explore your other interests for a richer and happier life.
