We may not want to admit it, but many of us turn to the television to get much of our health information. Whether watching hit series such as “The Doctors” or cable programs, such as “My Strange Addiction,” or even watching health features on our local news programs, many of us pick up health and beauty tidbits from our television sets. Ironic, when watching too much television is associated with negative health impacts. Regardless of how much television you watch, tuning into health programs can have beneficial impact, especially when you consider the majority of people who work out in their homes do so with a television program or DVD. So regardless, if you are looking for the latest program to “Downward Dog” with, or just want to pick up some healthy tips, or even see some of the bizarre, unhealthy habits and addictions of others, we have you covered. Here is a breakdown of some of the best health shows not to miss on television for the week of June 3-9.
