 Less TV Reduces Kid's Weight

 PALO ALTO ,California—“Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise，”US researchers said last week．

 A study of 192 third and fourth graders．generally aged eight and nine，found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds（0.91kg）less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.

 “The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity，”said Thomas Robinson，a pediatrician（儿科专家）at Stanford University．
