Newsfeed: Fat Children Catch High Blood Pressure Off The Telly

by | 30th, October 2007

FAT children who “watch more than two hours of television a day double their risk of developing high blood pressure.”

So reports the Telegraph. So says a study in the December issue of the American Journal of Preventative Medicine.

Know that children who watch four or more hours a day are three times as likely as those to have high blood pressure than those who watch less than two.

The paper tells of the “obesity epidemic”. We hear the message. And produce this print-put-and-send letter for your children to take to class:

“Dear Yoo

“Could Armani please be excused media studies today and Mr Palin ’s geography class lest she blow up like a balloon and die, and EastEnders is on later”

Yours truly,

Me
