Sitting in front of the television may be relaxing, but spending too much time in front of it may take years off your life. Watching less TV may help you live a much (long) life. Australian researchers surveyed more than 11,000 people over the age of 25. Their study showed that people watched TV for six hours a day, they would live about 4.8 years less than those who didn't watch any TV. Also, people who are over the age of 25 lose 22 minutes of life every hour of TV that they watch. (sit) in front of the TV isn't healthy. The more TV you watch, the less exercise you will get. And the less exercise you get, the (unhealthy) you will be. Lennert Veerman, the researcher who led the study, says watching too much TV will be bad for (people) life length. He thinks it is necessary for doctors to start asking (they) patients about how much TV they watch, as it can be important indicator(指标) of someone's health. So Veerman called on people to turn the TV and get off the sofa (get) some exercise.
"Exercise is good. Health must come first." he (reply) to the newspaper reporter.
