Every Gambler Should Be Aware Of This Health Risk

[Wiwo]

There is always time for everything and simply because we say gambling is for fun and entertainment doesn't mean that one should spend alot of time gambling in one position, indeed it will have health implications.

What I do most time is to have a schedule lineup of things that keep both my body and brain excesised at all time, so I always take a break in between to do other activities aside gambling or working remotely while h both happens to keep me in one place.

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.

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.

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?

The point is that sitting for too long is not, and indeed it is not really recommended. But actually it's not just about gambling but from all aspects including work and other activities because something that is done for a long time including sitting is not good for health.

It's just that in this case because the focus is on gambling so it is also alluded to because after all, apart from sitting too long, we also tend to be forced to rack our brains in gambling games (especially for games like poker) and our mentality and responsibility must be formed because gambling clearly requires mental calmness and readiness to accept defeat so in this case apart from sitting too long causing problems, gambling for too long can also make you shake in terms of mental calmness because too much focus on gambling can also cause great ambition.

It makes sense, with the various pros and cons of gambling activities. But there is something that cannot be denied from the effects of gambling besides financial issues, namely about health. Not only physical health but also mental. Mental and physical health, those are 2 things that are often related to gambling risks.

Even based on research, the dangers of gambling are always related to addiction to influence physical, mental and social:

“It’s the same as what causes any other addiction. It’s a combination of biological risk factors, psychological risk factors and social risk factors,” Dr. Fong said.

It is really that impossible that you wont really be able to feel out and this is why its recommended that you should really be having some break when it comes to this aspect.
You should really be that mindful about with those simple and basic doings because it will surely be giving at least some ease on the pressure into those body parts which arent that moving
much on the moment that you would really be that sitting for long period of time. Same also into your own eyes on which it would really be still needing up some break on which this is something that im doing whenever i do make myself getting too long hours on sitting in front of the computer on which your eyes does need up some break so that it wont really be damaged as
years passing by. This is why it is really that important that you should really know on how to protect your body parts.

I feel that, since I work facing a computer screen, it makes my eyes problematic because when I work I spend a lot of time staring at the computer screen. In addition, not only during work hours, sitting too long can be done outside of work and it is true what you said, everything needs time to rest so that serious problems do not occur. Taking a moment to relieve pain or eyes that are already sore from staring at the computer screen for too long is what must be done.

This can actually be said to be small because I think many people ignore it or do not pay attention to it, but actually this is important to pay attention to because it includes our health in the future which if it is really not considered, something bad might happen to us. So whatever work and activities we do, we must be able to pay attention to our own health, don't be too desperate in doing something until we forget the health aspect of ourselves.

Will close this topic after 3 days.

Imagine we need to hear these words from younger than our selves?


 


Hope you listen enough from your nephew mate because they are for nothing but our health.

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.

I guess for young players, they can still at the chair for so long and not feel any discomfort, but for those who are in their 40's and up that sign might appear early and obviously it's going to be very different.

But the thing is that when you are in a land base casinos and walking around that big space, you won't feel any in your legs,  . Or even sitting in a slot machine and then you are winning, there are no discomfort but you have your eyes on the price, $$$.

Personally though, I'm being conscious about health as I have diabetes so I usually try to be very active everyday and doing some exercise.

Exactly!
Many people already spend several hours a day sitting in front of a computer at an office desk. So, when they get home they just want to de-stress, grab their cell phone and start playing for a few more hours.

Lack of physical activity reduces metabolism and harms the body's capacity, which can increase the risk of mortality due to the emergence and worsening of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and obesity. For this reason, it is very important to maintain an active physical routine, with regular exercise at least three times a week... that's what my doctor said.

And it's not difficult... a football game with friends on the weekend, a treadmill or gym one or two days a week, a run in the park early in the morning... these are pleasurable activities that once you create the habit, we do it without much effort.

I remembered those stories of people who come to the casino so passionately and can't tear themselves away from the game that they put on diapers. Or the story of the widow who didn't react to the news of her husband's death until she finished the game. But if we talk about whether players who sit in front of the monitor for a long time care about their health, I think they are worried about something completely different during the game. People are zombified by their addiction to gambling; if you start convincing them that sitting for a long time is harmful to their health, they will not listen to you. In the minds of such people, money rules the ball, but unfortunately, they cannot win additional health or years of life by winning a big jackpot. Sadly, this is their choice.

Just like those who are addicted to smoking cigarettes, no matter the warning sign lebaled on them of the health risk of uncontrollable Smoking, they will never pay attention because they are not worried about they health but mind and attention is fixed on the short term pleasure they drive from consuming that substance.


Same goes with gambling, most of the gambler's worries more about they games and the intended winning which they chase at all cost and abandoning all the health risk involved in their gambling positions.

If we do tend to make up some comparison about addiction on cigarretes into gambling addiction then it would really be that pretty obvious that when it comes to health hazard or risks then smoking will really be giving out that bigger impact since its really that been that taken up physically on which those nicotine would really be keeping on piling up until your body would become ill.
The difference in gambling addiction is that it is really that stressful but not something that will really be giving out that immediate effect or something that talks about being harmful. There are really just
those cases on the time that addiction become that too severe which stress and anxiety is really that on the roof top then this could really be that possibly resulting into those actions which might cause up
some harmful conditions like doing some violence or even having that impulsive actions which could put yourself in harm and other people. This is why its really that important that you should really be mindful
on the things that you are really that dealing.

Some people might neglect it out because they are really that believing that this isnt really that a serious thing but on the time or moment that they do really find out
that they are really that doing something good then this is the moment that they will really be making adjustments on which better to be wary as
early as possible.

Yea, sitting too long to do something that requires the brain to reason and calculate continuously is not too advisable. It is better that after one stays for a short time, they should take a break and do something else just to refresh the mind and the brain, because there are some points where the brain must have been overstressed and it can become dull and can result in depression. 

it's sad that the society has shifted so much that you can just sit on a chair from morning till noon doing your work, playing games, gambling and even chatting with loved ones and then when you want want to relax, it's most likely you will still go back to the sofa and watch some TV shows which is almost like the same kind of thing. This health implication isn't just peculiar to gambling but but deals with the redundancy in our working environment most expecially for those of us that still work from home.

The tips is to try to incorporate other activities into your schedule so you don't dwell all day doing same kind of activities. It could be to go to the physical betting or casino mall and just chil out and have some sort of conversation with real people instead of trying to do everything from the comfort of your home. The ease and comfort that comes with doing most of our activities from the comfort of our homes if not properly managed can cause far more harms to us than we ever imagined.

A gambler is very susceptible to several health problems such as heart attacks, back pain, and others, and because of this a gambler must pay attention to their gambling activities and as much as possible to avoid bad behaviors such as eating junk food, being too happy/sad, sitting for hours without drinking/eating, etc. Because there have been many cases where gamblers have gotten sick and even died because of their bad habits when gambling. As much as possible to start a healthy life and if possible check your health regularly, and do not force yourself to gamble for hours if necessary.

[Stepstowealth]

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

We cannot really avoid sitting down, but since gambling on mobile phone is possible these days, not all gamblers need to spend long hours sitting just so they can place bets. Gamblers with the help of their mobile phones can place bets on the road, on go mode, while standing, or laying down on the bed. The health challenge that someone is likely to have from gambling also can also depend on the kind of game the gambler engages in playing. Some games may need you to sit and analyse your decisions for a while before making them, or games that takes some time to complete, some other games do not need too much analysis, and you do not need any serious setting of you needing to sit down before you place bets.

[Jody.Drummer]

I think there is no rule in gambling especially in online casinos that tells gamblers to gamble while sitting for long periods of time, I understand that sitting too long can cause some negative effects on health where the only one that is most likely to happen and be felt is experiencing problems with your joints due to stiffness in some muscles in your body which makes the blood not flow perfectly.

But actually of course these impacts can also be caused by several other things such as office work that requires us to always sit for a long period of time, you will not be able to do anything because that is a regulation set by the company, but maybe at least you can consume something that can minimize these negative effects. This means that if we talk about gambling and when you realize that sitting for a long time can trigger a bad impact on health, then I think you are free to change your position in the sense that you don't always have to sit when enjoying the game, you can occasionally play while lying down or always change positions that you think are comfortable enough, the point is when you realize that your habits can have a negative effect on health, then I think it is something that is not too difficult to change, especially if there are no rules.

This is only true for hardcore gambler that spend shit tons of time on gambling but not all gamblers have the luxury free time like dedicated for gambling just like me that only has few hours of gambling time per week.

It’s very easy to do stretching to avoid this health issue. I think eye strain or dry eyes is the most common problem on gambling now that online gambling is popular compared to other physical injury listed on the OP.

The closest injury I get on gambling is just a minor numbness on legs because I keep sitting in awkward position while gambling.

yes, we can indeed gamble anywhere and as we wish. but clearly, we must know our limits. where when we are tired after work that does take away our focus, it is better to use that time to rest, not to open an online casino.
although we can access it by relaxing, but not with our tired minds all day, gamble wisely. playing at the right time is also part of responsible gambling.

I agree with you, when we are tired, we are emotionally unhealthy because being too tired will make us much uncontrollable, I also suggest that when we are tired from working all day it is better to rest, playing online gambling can be in free time when we are in good condition and we can gamble more calmly and relaxed, because it is also impossible for us to work every day without any holidays.

As for when we still feel good even though we have worked it is much better than forcing ourselves when tired and betting, we should avoid bad things before they happen even though online gambling can be accessed however we can, but not with a state of mind and mentality.

[Solosanz]

Nah, you can gamble in any position since gambling don't require you to play in PC or laptop, unlike sedentary work. Actually this forum is more harmful than gambling, most people use PC or laptop since the UI/UX of this forum isn't friendly if you access using cellphone.

I gamble using cellphone while lie down, I gamble using cellphone while walking or standing.

The only health risk that can caused by gambling is heart attack since you're in adrenaline rush.

[YOSHIE]

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?

If someone actually works from morning to evening, there is clearly no reason why gambling is bad for health, except: they don't work at all in the real world, only their life and time are spent gambling online morning, noon and night.

For me, gambling is not the main thing in my life, I still have an hour or two to do sports every day, I gamble at night, Even then, it's not for hours, at least I spend 1-3 hours in the gambling arena, that's enough time for me to bet, win and lose, I have to stop and rest.

Health is more important than anything, gambling is a formality for me, I have enough time to manage everything.

People can stand to gamble, and people can also lie down on their bed to also gamble, so on that note, sitting is not the only posture people stay to gamble, hence, I see this as a general health risk for people whose job requires longer sitting time at their respective offices, and not specifically to gambles, because if you are that individual who always engages in regular body fitness exercises, you are likely to prevent all these health challenges, as they are what that could be easily prevented with regular fitness workout. However, thanks for sharing this update, as health is an important factor for effective gambling.
