Effects of prolonged TV watching on the brain

A long-term study indicates that individuals who watch television frequently in middle age tend to exhibit smaller sizes in brain regions associated with language and thinking decades later. They also show signs of increased brain changes linked to cognitive decline and dementia, especially when TV viewing exceeds mental activity during work hours. Conversely, engaging in mental activities at work appears to support brain health. The study does not suggest that watching television directly causes damage but rather associates it with risks connected to sedentary and passive behaviors. Experts emphasize the importance of limiting viewing time and maintaining an active and intelligent lifestyle, focusing on physical activity, social interaction, and adopting other healthy habits to prevent age-related brain deterioration.
