Live healthy and long

From Dr. Mercola archives | February 10, 2013

The presence of TV and other electronic gadgets has been linked to obesity.  The direct connection could be that the children sleep late, and lack of sleep cause loss of leptin level which leads to more appetite, and less metabolism of fats. In a survey of 5th graders surveyed, 50% said they either had TV and other electronic devices.

Too little sleep can lead to:

l.  Obesity,

2.  Diabetes,

3.  High blood pressure;

4.  Weight gain,

5.  Accelerated aging,

6.  Risk of having cancer
