Study: Children, no more than two hours a day on screen

Short videos showing how children feed by watching their mobile phone, or watching a movie on TV, and forget to watch the plate circulates over the grid. They make you laugh, but you also need to understand the negative effect of the time spent on a “smartphone” on your hands.

According to researchers, the time that children spend in front of “-martphone screens”, computers, televisions or other screen equipment can teach them with a sedentary life, increasing the risks of them becoming overweight or even obese.

For this reason, the American Heart Association (AHA) requires parents along with other organisations to limit the time of their children's standing on screens. It recommends that children be allowed to spend only one to two hours a day, not more on screens.

Many find that adolescents do not spend more time watching TV. But using “martphone” and other display electronics devices has increased greatly.

While it is not yet clear how the time children spend on screens affects overweight, studies show that the screen affects children's behavior because, they “think” and the sense of hunger or satisfaction when they are in front of the screens.

Cell phone systems producer “Android” and “iOS”, Google and Apple, are including in their new apps devices to help users cut the time they spend in front of the screens, and the same has warned that Facebook will do.
