Every Gambler Should Be Aware Of This Health Risk

[Distinctin]

Exercise is good for those who are sitting long at work because there must be side effects. This is one of the reason why I use both my phone and my laptop to gamble because sometimes I would love to change positions and postures when using my phone.

Gambling should not be done frequently especially when you are stressed up yourself at work, you should rest and stretch your body to avoid future health issues. Have a time limit for your gambling activities during the week days and weekends.

The best solution here is do not gamble when you have a long day work. Do it with your day off or free time wherein your body hasn’t been in a long sitting position the whole day. And when you gamble, set your time duration as to what time you will stop gambling so you won’t be facing the monitor while sitting for hours because clearly, that won’t be good in the long run. There’s no really problem with gambling, as long as you know how to discipline yourself and won’t abuse of your time and body.

our bodies still need physical activity to maintain fitness. if we have been working all day without much movement, of course we need our own time to train our bodies and muscles. it can make special time for regular exercise.
I also experienced the situation you did. but believe me when you give your body a little time to do activities, then you will really feel the difference in your body. I have tried it and feel better.

so doing gambling activities must also have time control. now start planning our time well. don't just open a casino and keep playing until you run out of time.

Thankfully you can gamble on your phone in different positions, for instance lying on your back or standing.
No position is good for us in the long run. Standing or lying in bed are both bad if you do it for too long. The healthiest is to switch stances every 30 minutes, stand up. walk around, stretch your neck and so on. You can even jump up a few times or do a few pushups. It's also healthy to relax your eyes by going to the window and looking at distant things, like flying birds.

Why did I create this topic: My nephew noticed that after I come home from work that involves sitting the whole day, I continue to play or gamble for hours, so he gave me a warning that too much sitting will have a bad effect on gambling.

I agree that sitting in one posture for long is not good for health but you can always have a 2 or 3 minute walk after sitting for an hour or so. And this should be done in the office where you spend around 8 to 9 hours. So when you come to home, how many hours do you gamble? I think it will be way less than the time spent in the office.

I hope you got my point here. Do not blame the health risk in this case to gambling only where you may spend a max of 2 or 3 hours while you remain seated in the office for 9+ hours. So i think we should first try to fix how we can be more flexible in the office and not be in sitting position for so many hours.

This might not be related to gambling but its something that would really be considered to be general on which on the moment that you do find yourself having those jobs online on which sitting up a long period of time will really be having that kind of possible impact specially if it would really be that might not be seen on early but later on it would already that showing up some symptoms. Gambling should really be just that for the sake of fun but there were people who are really that serious too much on how they would really be gonna dealing up with gambling on which they are really that expecting something positive which its not really that something that you must do because it will really be creating such desperation on which we know that we cant be able to stop that not unless if you do really accept into those probabilities
in the first place. People would really be just that eventually learn things on the  time or moment that they do experience shit conditions.

If you are not told, you won't be able to learn some of the implications of sitting in one place for a long cause to one health. Many people have been having one or many problems with their health all because they are at a place sterling at their gadgets, gambling, playing games, trading, watching movies, etc.

I was once lectured on this when I had to go to the hospital complaining of vision problems. The doctor had to explain to me the real cause of it, why it is so "sitting in a place for too long, gluing my eyes to the laptop".

Ever since learning this, I began to learn not to stay in a seat for long and also learn how to stay a bit far from the reflection of my laptop so as not to hit directly to my eyes.

Many gamblers are likely to suffer from mental, emotional, and financial issues, but do you know that there is a health risk that many gamblers who are playing online are not aware of? Sitting for too long; if you are a work-from-home guy or working in the office and you sit the whole time you are at work, and you continue to play online for hours, you can suffer from these health risks.

The symptoms or diseases you listed here as a result of constant sitting and focusing much on laptop or screen is mostly cause by our place of work in the office and not gambling. I don't see how the little time you gamble online can cause such kind of mental, emotional and financial issues. I believe we spend more house in our working place than gambling except for those gambling agent that work in the casino hall that may be prone to such sickness. The truth of the matter is that, In Anywhere we are working or gambling, we should give ourselves break by walking around, going out to get fresh air outside. Talk to people, do some some exercise and eat healthy food to avoid health issues.

Gambling is a game that makes you greedy and impulsive. When you win a bet you always want to bet more. An addicted gambler can tell how much time he gambles Again they bet more money trying to recoup their losses and probably they are going to lose more. However everything should be done in a range and gambling should be done considering certain money and time. Also keep yourself busy with other work and don't use phone and laptop too much.

How about you? Are you aware that sitting too long while playing without interruption can be harmful to your health?

I am aware of that, I know many people who sit all day and complain about all the pain they feel... one of them & closest is my mother, she is an accountant and she sits all day, when she gets back home she sits and watches some shows on laptop.

There is a saying here: The back hurts from a lot of work, but also from a lot of lying down. The bottom line, it's not good to overdo anything, what is good is to have some balance in life and to keep all the muscles active throughout the day, every day. If something is neglected it will start to creak sooner or later.

It can also be applied to gamblers, but this applies to all people regardless of what they do.

There is no reason that can justify that there is no effect of gambling on health. Psychologically, the effect closest to reality according to theory is to experience emotional (stress, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders to stop the impact of the heart) or have experienced mental problems.

For me gambling is not always on the negative effect because gambling can be enjoyed to eliminate stress instead of choosing to get drunk that makes people lose consciousness. Gambling as a pleasure entertainment is not playing gambling to pursue profits by spending hours.
If gambling is done with time management and money without expecting special wealth in gambling, for me it is the category of having fun gambling.

There are chronic gamblers who are glued in their chair for hours, and they are likely to develop these health risks.
How about you? Are you aware that sitting too long while playing without interruption can be harmful to your health?

This health problem about sitting for too long will mainly affect gamblers with addiction problem and those gamblers that are jobless  who see gambling as an income source, because it takes only chronic gamblers and a jobless person to comfortably spend hours in one position gambling all day with no other commitments or engagements.

How about you? Are you aware that sitting too long while playing without interruption can be harmful to your health?

I think this is the first time I'll be reading a health gambling related topic. And I must say it is worth it. Before I continue I want to say that the number of screentime we used to have have doubled thanks to online technologies you can do almost everything from the comfort of your room staring at a screen. It goes to say we'll be seeing more diagnosis of screen related eye issues. For this topic, someone rightly said sitting is the new smoking and I couldn't agree more. Guys, do yourself a favor and don't sit for too long. Your future healthy self is going to thank you for it

To be honest I am already having uncomfortable experience lately with my eyes,  it all started this very year, whenever I use my PC or smart phone for an hour plus every word starts getting blurry. A friend advised that I use blue-ray glasses to manage the condition because am one guy that has phobia for medicated glasses right from childhood.

Will close this topic after 3 days.

There is some truth to what you say, however this problem is not limited to only gamblers, there are hundreds of millions of people out there who have very lethargic job roles and lives in general. Office workers will often be stuck behind a computer for at least 8 hours a day and could end up in the same position you mention. I'd say the one distinguishing factor and the thing that could make the situation worse for gamblers, is the fact that those wins can give you a big adrenaline and dopamine rush which can trigger your heart to beat faster, it's abnormal to be in that heightened sensory emotion on an irregular basis. Often you only expect to get those rushes very occasionally, but if you're chasing those wins every day then it can really mess with your mind.

You just made me feel Dejavu about a bet I did one time. It was a sport day in school and we had argument, out of over confidence, a line was drawn that we should set a bet that our math's teacher is going to come to the class because majority of math's teachers don't missed their period but I was arguing that he is sick that he isn't going to come and I bet my launch money for 45 minute of two period. That was the longest day I was feeling feverish and sweeting at the same time and luckily for me, he never came and I won but I still pity him and gave him back his money

This is what you get when you bet more than you can afford to lose, you will feel inconvenience after putting that money, you will not gamble with peace of mind, their will be anxiety and all of these combined can affect your health. If you are the type with severe sickness like High blood pressure, you can collapsed with such pressure and wouldn't be able to survive after. Detest from gambling what you can't afford to lose.

Chronic gambling is another term we can use for gambling addiction. Actually, gamblers who spend most of their time on chair only to gamble are more likely considered as addicts, and surely there's no doubt that addicts can have many health issues.

I guess you nephew gave you a valid advice that you should follow. Do not gamble for long time or do it for an hour or two per day and take breaks of 2-3 days per week. That way you'll help yourself and you may get good health as well by moving instead of sitting at a place.

[Hatchy]

How about you? Are you aware that sitting too long while playing without interruption can be harmful to your health?

Health issues has been a minor concern for gamblers. Most times we tend to forget that gambling can affect us no just emotionally or mentally but also physically. When we gamble more often we tend to over stress our body, spending too much time on the screen or just like you said op, sitting on a spot for too long. The best way to help minimize these health issues is to take some time off our gambling comfort zones. You can walk out while your bet is ongoing to over you over thinking or just watching the bet for too long. We shouldn't forget that no matter how much gambling is profiting us, health is what we refer to as wealth.

[BABY SHOES]

Actually now playing online gambling can be on mobile and while sleeping on the couch to play of course this will be a little bored if it's too long because in my opinion playing gambling is most comfortable on a PC and sitting in a chair.

But fortunately, I don't sit in a chair for too long just because I play gambling, I work still in the field sometimes also in the office sitting all day but always balancing fitness for health because it could cause a lot of problems including joint pain and back pain that I used to feel.

Apart from the health effect of sitting down for hours to gamble don't you think it won't be healthy too for a responsible gambler to sit for hours to gamble,  for me I think it can be common with gamblers that are addicted to gambling and wants to make money by all means which it is possible for one to spend good numbers of time gambling. Gambling is not a job that one needs to spend a lot of time playing it because this can be risky to one's finances and wants health.

Gambling is unpredicted and  don't think if one spends a longer time like this always gambling it can be profitable always. I think their should be a limit gambling because it is an advantage to the health and saving more money. Gambling for hours is a way of losing more money which can lead to depression.

So, how are those people who sit for the whole day because they are working like some office employees or using a computer for a whole day?

I believe this applies to all, not only to gambling. What I also read in some articles or threads here is, some casinos or any gambling establishment, they will make you comfortable once you already inside their premises, like providing some chairs, comfortable chairs so you will feel comfortable and can spend a lot of time without noticing.

Does your nephew know your gambling activity?  
That's why it is important to limit your time when you are gambling or working in front of your PC (laptop, computer) at home. If you don't limit your time, you may spend all day in front of your PC when it is in weekend. Even in weekdays, it is also very possible to spend most your time in front of your PC if you never time limit. I don't know if this will work to everyone, but I always stick to the time I have set. I will determine the time allocation for each of my activities, both at home and outside the home. The most difficult part is trying to discipline and commit to it. However, having this will minimize the risk to do anything excessively. I'm sure if you do this, you won't gamble too much hours.

Besides the health risks, gamblers also may face the social relationship problems. When we spend too much time in front of PC, we may have no time for gathering with our family members and neighborhoods. This probably causes a problem if we never change our habit. As a social being, we also need time to interact with other people. At least, we must spend enough time to gather with wife, children, and other close people (for a married person).

as someone whose job requires me to sit for long periods of time, I know there are health risks when you do it, I even have to get checked up by a doctor because of the pain in my back that was caused by sitting for long periods of time and poor posture(that is according to the doctor). it did go away once I started having breaks and stretching after sitting for a while

regarding the image you share, are all those because of "sitting for too long"? I feel like a lot of those illnesses are cause by other underlying issues and not just because of sitting for too long.

Sitting is the new Smoking. Spending long hours in your chair - be it because of work or lifestyle practices like playing your favorite online casino games can have a malicious effect on an individual's health, but research shows that cisgender women are more prone to these ailments than anybody else. Sitting all the time is linkedto a variety of heart problems including reduced blood flow from lack of physical activity and threatsof Heart lock Can also good level Listen, even if they think they weigh less No matter what you eat whileNot working it's not going to burn calories.

Like everyone else, you should strike a balance between sitting and other-moderate-to-fairly-active physical activity during day to maintain good general health.

On the other hand, I would like to thank the OP who indirectly told and reminded me that this is something that should be considered, at first glance I only know that physical work is most likely to affect our health, but it turns out that health problems do not only arise due to the amount of physical activity that is done.

I really feel this problem where I often have difficulty focusing on my work which turns out to be because I experience eye strain which may be due to fatigue because I work in an office that requires me to sit for a long time facing the monitor screen, I think there is nothing I can change because after all this is a job that keeps me alive, but maybe I will take another option as an alternative prevention, namely consuming some vitamins or herbal medicines as a prevention option or to overcome the health problems that I am experiencing now.

Another thing that means is that these health problems are not only caused by gambling but also by other things that become habits or something that is forced to be done in order to support the needs of life such as the job I have.
