"Abolish the television and you will have a longer and healthier life"

[MILAN (Reuters)] Italy's Health Minister, Girolamo Sirchia, said that turning off the TV could help boost life expectancy. He was quoted speaking to a conference of elderly people in Milan. COMMENT: this advice makes a lot of sense to me. Television viewing increases inactivity and social isolation.
