Too Much Television Can Shorten Your Life Span

If you're going through treatment and/or recovering from a severe health condition, then you could be eligible to collect long-term disability benefits. These benefits can help offset some of the income you'll be without during this time.

According to Health News, watching too much television could shorten your life span. This comes after researchers earlier this week reported that life spans could be increased by doing just 13 minutes of exercise each day.

Now their latest findings indicate that for every hour of television watched, an individual's life span is cut by 22 minutes. Researchers are encouraging less television watching and more physical activities.

After analyzing over 400,000 individuals for 8 years, their findings showed that with 92 minutes of exercise each week, 14% were less likely to suffer a premature death and 10% were less likely to specifically die from cancer.

At the same time, 92 minutes of exercise each week could also increase life spans by 3 years. Despite the good results of exercising however, researchers find that it could all be for nothing if you spend the remainder of your time in front of your television.

If you need answers to your questions concerning qualification for long-term disability benefits, then you should seek legal counsel. A Plantation long-term disability lawyer can help.

Long-term disability benefits may be available to those who have purchased a disability plan from a private insurer or have coverage through an employer. Unfortunately, the insurers don't make it easy for the disabled to get access to the benefits they deserve.
