Social media is making you fatter!

New research suggests that the more time people spending on Facebook and other social networking sites, the less time time they spend playing team sports, exercising, and just being physically active.

The study from the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland had 350 students complete a survey about their levels of social networking activity and physical activity. According to the survey, most students used social networking sites for one hour, on average, each day, and about half of the students rated themselves as “moderately active,” one-third said they were “highly active” and 12.7 percent reported “low physical activity.” About 25 percent of the students surveyed said they played team sports.
