Why too much TV watching is especially problematic for young kids

So let’s start with the inconvenient truth.

Your muscle reserve is decided during in utero development i.e. you’re born with it. Of course, what you are born with is in proportion to your frame…………. it expands with you, thickening and lengthening to support you and DO THE THINGS. The vast majority of this thickening and lengthening happens BEFORE puberty. So what you get up to, BEFORE puberty really sets the tone for what your muscles will look like when you are 92.

Hours and hours of lounging on the couch in front of the TV as a tot, will leave you with a lifelong muscle disadvantage.

This is likely to translate to a dislike for exercise and the lower muscle mass puts you are a trajectory for metabolic issues, because muscle is the biggest consumer of dietary sugars.

This video is primarily aimed at parents of little ones, but if that is not you, it’s still worth tuning in to the beginning bits to learn a little bit more about muscle biology.
