Yet another reason to take the TV out of the bedroom...

At the University of Minnesota, a study has come out indicating that teens aged 15-18 who have televisions in their rooms are not as healthy as those who don't. Girls who had televisions in their rooms got less vigorous exercise, ate fewer vegetables, drank more sweetened beverages and ate fewer meals with their families. Boys with televisions in their rooms had lower grade point averages, ate less fruit and ate fewer meals with their families than boys without.
