Of course you want to be up to date on current events, but obsessively watching news about the stock market and unemployment numbers can result in a greater production of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can increase your risk of heart disease. Be especially careful of watching the news or checking it online near bedtime, as it can make falling asleep harder, which is also bad for your heart.
