Does your beloved stick to TV or mobile screen throughout the day? If yes, then be careful. Excessive use of screen in an American study has been declared fatal not only in terms of children's eyes and mental health, but also to understand, remember things and to maintain relationships. Parents have been asked not to allow children to use screens for more than two hours a day.
According to researchers at California -based Memorial Care Orange Coast Medical Center, children using the screen for more than three hours a day learn to speak late. They also have difficulty in reading and writing and understanding the language. At the same time, teenagers who stay in front of the screen for five to seven hours every day, have double the risk of sadness, restlessness, life from life and the risk of aggression.
Obese risk
Chief researcher Dr. Jina Pozanar blamed the screen addiction to the increasing problem of obesity in children. He cited the study of Mayo Clinic, in which the use of the screen increased by 23 per cent increase in obesity due to increasing the use of the screen. It was also found that children who cut the screen use by 50 percent eat 25 percent less calories.
Insomnia complaint
Pozanar reported that the blue light emanating from the screen disrupts the production of sleep hormone 'melatonin'. Due to this, there is a problem in the absence of children in sleep, but they do not feel refreshed when they wake up in the morning. Incomplete sleep also affects their memory and logical ability. Pozanar advised to ban the use of screen for children two hours before bedtime.
Pain from head to waist
Referring to a British study published in 2018, Pzar said that children who are standing in front of the screen for hours also cause more head, back, waist and shoulder pain. The reason for this is to increase the weight of the head and additional pressure on the spinal cord.
