Limit TV time to reduce heart attack risk

A new study suggests that reducing time spent sitting at home can lower the risk of heart attacks. This research highlights the importance of limiting leisure activities, like watching television. The study, published in the journal of the American Heart Association, recommends that people should watch TV for no more than one hour each day. It found that sitting for long periods during leisure time can negate the positive effects of regular exercise. One patient shared his experience after a procedure to clear blocked arteries. He felt younger and more energetic because he not only exercised daily but also avoided sedentary activities at home. Instead of lounging on the couch, he chose to do house chores or garden. This approach paid off for him. He noted that his health metrics were the best they had ever been. The report emphasizes the importance of staying active throughout the day to maintain heart health.
