Deep dives
The Impact of Screen Time on Children and Adults
According to the Royal College of Pediatrics, increased screen time is linked to higher body fat and poor diet choices in children. The same might be true for adults as well. Living in an obesogenic environment with 24/7 access to food and being more sedentary can negatively affect the health and body fat percentage of adults. Additionally, screen time can disrupt mindful eating, affecting hunger and satiety signals, leading to overeating or undereating. It can also contribute to digestive issues and hinder our ability to be present in social situations.
