The use of mobile phones and obesity are related

If a person spends every day for more than one hour sitting with a smartphone, he is at risk of developing obesity. As noted by The Daily Mail, it was found: students who spent 5 hours or more with phones, 43% more often got weight problems compared to peers who were sitting with the phone less time.

Approximately 25% of overweight people and almost 5% of people with complete obesity spent more than 5 hours on the phone. People with addiction to the phone drank sugary drinks twice as often, ate fast food, sweets and practiced twice as less.

According to scientists from Simon Bolivar University, the frequent use of the phone is associated with a sedentary lifestyle, which threatens not only weight problems, but diabetes, heart disease, cancer, problems of the musculoskeletal system and even premature death. It is known that the use of telephones in the dark breaks the metabolism, sleep and weakens self-control.
