<h1> <center> Safe distance of watching television </center> </h1> 
Hello Steemian. 
Today the big family gathered. Many children gather. They play together. 
"Let's watch television. There's Ultraman movie" They immediately approached the television while sitting on the floor. One of my nieces turned on the TV and looked for a channel that showed children's favorite films. Once they get the program they are looking for they immediately move in front of the TV. When the event took place they cheered following the storyline. They watch TV from a distance so close that their hands can reach the program button to replace the program during commercial breaks. Suddenly my wife came. "Don't watch TV too close. It can damage the eyes," my wife said.
 "How can you, aunty?" asked one of my nieces. My wife was surprised to hear a question that seemed to defy my wife's advice. Luckily I was near them and knew the kids' questions. 
"Now you are watching the film until it's over. I'll explain everything later. Now sit back a little." 
Children shift their seats back. They want to follow my advice and wait for the film to finish.

 <h2> Radiation and safe distance </h2> 
Television emits light waves that can cause radiation. When we watch TV we are advised not to get too close. The issue of the ideal distance of watching television never ends. For some people, watching television at close range can cause a minus eye, especially on convex sail television After television screens began using LCD technology and plasma radiation on television was considered to be safe. This modern flat panel screen is known to not emit radiation. However, some people are still worried that watching from too close a distance can cause eye and vision injuries. The reason, seeing up close can cause eyestrain. In general, the ideal distance to watch television is at least 5 times the width of the television screen. For example, if your television has a width of 29 inches, the ideal viewing distance is 145 inches or about 3.7 meters. Even so, the most appropriate distance from the best distance to watch television is the distance that feels most comfortable for us. As long as you can see the screen clearly without experiencing discomfort, the distance can be said to be correct. there is another thing that becomes a problem when watching television, namely the position of the tv. Television position is also important to prevent eye strain. Always position the television always at eye level either on the wall or on the table. Biss also put a little lower position. This position is to prevent tension in the vertical eye muscles and neck. Instead of continually forcing the eye to look up will cause eye muscles to fatigue. If there are complaints that are a sign of the eyes, then rest your eyes by looking at greenery around the house. Watching too long and close can also cause eye strain. The reason is, you tend to blink less when watching television. In fact, blinking functions to refresh and lubricate the eyes naturally. Rarely blinking causes dry, tired, itchy, and burning eyes. Instead of spending a lot of time in front of the television, it's better to use the time with more active activities. For example, cleaning the house, cooking, and gardening. In addition to fun, physical activity is healthy.
Thus all my writing this time may useful for all of ud.
