The Government must tackle the damaging effects of "passive thinking"
The call comes as the Home Office considers plans to overhaul common law in a bid to crack down on binge thinking.
Binge thinking is defined as thinking an excessive amount of thought in a short space of time.
For men, that's thinking more than eight thoughts during one session. For women, it's more than one.
If you regularly binge think, you may not yet have any health problems directly related to binge thinking, but you are increasing your risk of experiencing problems in the future.
Safe thinking levels;
Men should not regularly think more than three to four thoughts a day.
Women should not regularly think.
"Regularly" means thinking this amount every day or most days of the week.
