How is sitting and being a couch potato watching TV any more detrimental to your well-being than sitting in the same spot and reading?
I suspect more attention grabbing by the article than much truth in it. Yes, people slow down when they get older, not because they want to, but the body just isn't as able as before. Sure, they might then spend the time watching TV. Watching TV didn't make their bodies old and weak though. Just as reading won't make them any stronger and more able to get up and do what they used to before all the aches and pains of old age set in.
