Is it true that watching tv and eating is unhealthy?

Answer 2

thats why i im over weight.

because i get bored with the tv,and eat while im watching it.

its a horrid habit.

Answer 3

Well, it isn't unhealthy. Watching TV isn't unhealthy, but when you're watching it, you're pretty much using all of your focus and attention on the tv and not what you're putting in your mouth. So, you could actually be eating a lot of food, but not even noticing it.

Answer 4

I eat and watch tv, but not all the time.  if you eat at the table, you can pay more attention to what and how much you eat.  use common sense when you eat.  don't take a big bag of chips and sit and watch tv.  the next thing you know the bag's empty and you can't remember eating.  if you tend to overeat in front of the tv, don't eat at all in front of it.  have a special place to eat and only eat there.

Answer 5

Yes because you are putting food into your mouth without even realizing how much you are eating because you are watching TV.  Not a good idea; meals should be eaten at the table.

Answer 6

Well if you sit down every single day, munching on cheetos and other high fat foods then yeah its unhealthy. But I'm a couch potato and snack on nuts, fruit and cheese crackers and I exercise most days so its OK. Like if you have a habit of eating constantly when watching try to choose healthy snacks.  

Answer 7

Watching tv is normal. Its just something people do and nothing is wrong with it, but when your eating food, you could eat all of it too quickly and realize your still hungry, then you probably will eat more and snack on something while watching tv. If you can portion your meals right while watching tv saying that your only going to eat this and that, its fine. What I do after I eat, I usually have some cranberry juice and ice and sip that while watching t.v., its way healthier than snacking on chips and tastes good

Answer 8

Yes, if that is all one does.

Answer 9

Answer 10
