We all know that too much of anything isn’t beneficial, including watching too much T.V.

Health.com reported that researchers in Australia did a study on close to 9,000 adults with zero heart disease history and followed them for six years. The study did a comparison on those who watched two or less hours of television per day versus those who viewed more than four hours of television. Those who watched more than four hours of T.V. were 80% more apt for death by heart disease.

Every extra hour spent viewing the TV increased the danger of dying from heart disease by almost 20%.

Botox is no secret to the public; it is a cheaper way to smooth out those wrinkles than going under the knife.

According to everydayhealth.com Botox is facing several clinical trials with incontinence treatment and even though FDA has yet to approve this new idea some military hospitals and private physicians have started using Botox to treat those who suffer from lack of bladder control.

Doctors are becoming certain that Botox could properly interfere with the contractions in the muscles surrounding the bladder which would help the muscles relax, preventing spasms.
