Everydayhealth.com recently posted an interesting article on ‘The 6 Most Powerful Health Plotines on TV.’ I thought I would share this very interesting and insightful view on how some of your favorite television shows also play a pivotal role on educating viewers on important health concerns.

From the article:

Although television get a bad rap for its association with inactivity, mindless snacking, and weight gain, there is an oft-overlooked upside to tuning into many of today’s popular programs: health education.  “In 2004, just over half of top prime time shows featured health-related story lines.  In 2010, about 80 percent of shows did,” says Sandra Buffington, director of Hollywood, Health & Society organization.

Fans are paying attention to the plots, which address everything from Asperger’s syndrome to cancer.  “According to our research, more than two-thirds of viewers learn something about health from the shows they watch, and one-third of those viewers take action,” says Buffington, such as scheduling a doctor’s appointment to get their own symptoms checked out.  Here, experts point out the most informative and inspiring health related shows on the tube today, and why you should tune in- or add them to your Netflix queue.
