A new report just out. Children who only watch the "screen" (TV/Computer) for 1/2 hour or less each day have NORMAL blood vessels at the back of the eyes - those are the kids out playing for recreation.
The children (as low as age 6) who watch the screen for 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours a day had ab-normal blood vessels at the back of the eyes. And the experts say this is how old people often are, which often leads to strokes and heart problems. As one doctor said, having unhealthy blood vessels at the back of the eyes is really meaning your body is not well, which could then later on down the road (for these children as adults) give other health problems.
The answer? Very simple: tell your kids to go out and play - bike, run, throw or kick a ball around, all the things kids did when there was no screen to watch, keep the body and eyes moving.
So parents, play-time should be the old fashioned play-time that kids had before the TV and Computer and now the iPads etc. were invented. Leave all the screen technology stuff behind and GET OUT AND PLAY!!
