Why stop watching so much TV? It affects how you age, new study says

Swapping out time in front of the TV for physical activity is associated with better chances of healthy aging, according to a study. The study analyzed data from over 45,000 people aged 50 or older and found that each additional two hours of TV watching was linked to a 12% decrease in the chances of healthy aging. On the other hand, adding two hours of light physical activity at work increased the odds of healthy aging by 6%. The study suggests replacing TV time with light physical activity for better health outcomes.
