Via: onlinecasino.org The post goes on to describe all manner of physical problems that could result from spending too much time in sedentary activities like gaming, including some interesting terms such as “PlayStation Thumb,” “Nintendo Arthritis,” and “Trigger Finger.” While the article paints a dark future for those who are addicted to video games, the focus is, much like today, worse for individuals prone to such addictions. Casual gamers are likely in a far better place than the study portrays, especially when considering that in 2017, the United Stated adults consumers over five hours of television per day, spending nearly seven times as long mindlessly watching a screen compared to actively playing a game. In the study, OnlineCasino.ca advises five tips for staying fit and healthy: exercise, prevent eye strain, healthy diet, proper posture, and staying hydrated.
