Health Benefits of Gaming – An Infographic
Many things about the modern world are said to be bad for us. We eat too much sugar, we do not exercise enough, and we are over-stimulated, spending too much time online and not enough interacted with real people. You may think that video game should be included on this list. Video games compromise the health of adults and children alike? They encourage violence and anti social behavior? They also wreck your brain power: hours staring at the screen and playing on inane video games will surely not help you become a brain box? Right? Wrong, or so research suggests. Read below to know the actual health benefits of gaming and how it may actually help you in the long run.
Gaming actually seems to have beneficial effects on health. Take your memory for example. Gaming can, according to empirical evidence, actually strengthen the brain areas that are responsible for memory. Likewise, spatial awareness: gaming can improve your spatial awareness through the same process. This is also the case for planning and motor skills. If you have been involved in a traumatic event or an accident that causes you chronic pain, gaming can also be good for this.
So, despite the possible negative public perception about gaming, and the prevalence of the view that gaming is not the healthiest actually, it can actually be good for your cognitive health in a variety of amazing ways. If only gaming it also give you rock hard abs! We would never have to leave the house!

You Know Gaming can cause depression, anxiety, and social phobia?? The more I research internet and video game addiction, the more I’m convinced that too many younger people are living in a fog that robs them of the ability to think, feel and behave with joy and clarity.
gaming is a great stress reliever but too much of a good thing is also never good.
video game addiction, the more I’m convinced that too many younger people are living in a fog that robs them of the ability to think, feel and behave with joy and clarity
Every technology has two sides, good or bad. Gaming is also like that. The problem is with the user. Gaming is good unless you over do it. Same goes for drugs.
Although I believe gaming is more helpful than it is advertised. At least kids these days have something to do with. Ask a gamer, they know much better about things in real life than any normal person. It may be car, weapons, tactics etc.
The key to take these benefits is in the hand of the gurdians. You choose and observe what your kid is playing.

Every game in this world has it’s own priorities. It depends on the user how to use technology. if he is getting addict regarding to this then he will face the dark side. gaming has its own advantages and disadvantages. How ever game like bluewhale And PubG are Mostly played by the users. And they have faced the pros and cons of it.

I’ve just recently turned 40, and I have been smoking now for about 25 years. My doctor says that it’s highly doubtful I will see 50 unless I do some massive Lifestyle Changes. More exercise, better diet, and of course I need to quit smoking.
Starting that stupid habit was the worst decision of my life. If only one person reads this and decides not to, then I will like to think I have done something positive with my life.

If you are a counterstrike fan, you might know what a prime account is. CSGO prime accounts were offered to early players of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Because they had bought CSGO before it went free. Prime accounts help players who want to skip hours of gaming to reach higher levels in gaming.
I really like playing games. And I mostly play free online mobile games, in which I really like the game that I can connect with people. And all these games give me a lot of fun. And your article is very nice.
Love to play games and interested in the latest news and updates about the gaming, then must try out this gaming zone
Finally! Someone spoke up my side of the stories. While there is a lot negativiting about gaming, I still think that gaming is having positive effects on your mind and skills. Whenever you play games, your stress is released and your concentration level increases.
For health benefits of gaming you must a gaming chair. If you’re working in office and after the work, you need relaxation so in this case the gaming is suitable option. By the way I like your way to blog.

never thought like this before. I should show this page to my parent and others that how can gaming help us to balance our health condition good. A very informative post. hope more this type of post from you. Thank you for doing something different.
I think there’s another aspect to video games that can be good for you:
They can teach you!
At least in terms of simulation or strategy games, especially anything to do with history (think SimCity, Civilization, etc) – you can learn about the world and how supply & demand works, even budgeting!
There’s definitely some underrated benefits to video gaming, aside from the ones mentioned in the infographic like spatial awareness that mostly applies to 3D games like shooters.

I’ve been playing World of Warcraft since the beginning. That makes… 15 years already? It’s so relaxing – the wife and kid go to bed, then it’s me, in the virtual world of WoW, with a group of online buddies, slashing evil enemies 🙂

it’s interesting to know that gaming can actually help us with memorization. With that in mind, corporation events should also have these kinds of things accessible at times. It will help their employees relax without knowing that they are actually training their minds for better productivity in the future.
This is a great post! I agree with the points that you have stated here. I have recently started playing Fire Kirin game and it is indeed very addictive. However, I try to keep a healthy balance between video games and other daily activities.
