Strong and consistent evidence in both children and adults shows that screen time is directly associated with increased overweight and obesity. The strongest association is with television screen time.
Increased electronics and internet usage also has everyone sitting more instead of moving more. Screen and sitting time should be limited each day. Ten minutes of activity here and there adds up!
Children and adults should avoid inactivity. Some physical activity is better than none, and more is better. Achieving energy balance and a healthy weight depends on both energy intake and expenditure.
Adults should self monitor their body weight, food intake and physical activity plan. If you have a worthwhile plan as an objective, you will reach your goal for optimal weight and better health.
