Can video gaming cause health problems?

Answer 1

Yes. It is true. A Nintendo DS game called DK Jungle Climber actually impacts your health, but more importantly, your child's health. Studies show that those who play the game for at least 5 minutes will get a craving for bananas. And who better to prove it then Miranda Noble age 12, Miami, Florida?? Here she is. Hey everyone. It's true! The first time I played it even, I had a craving for bananas. ~Miranda♥ That was her.

Answer 2

Video Games can cause health problems, such as obesity or addiction, however all problems can be avoided by being educated about what lies at the heart of the condition.

For example, video games are often blamed for causing obesity in teens. However, video games only cause obesity in excess, when they are played so often that they interfere with the player's real life. Adjusting time spent playing video games and time spent performing physical activities can easily prevent obesity because of video games.

Likewise, excess "screentime," that is, time spent in front of a screen, can cause headaches and other complaints. Playing video games in moderation can significantly reduce health risks.

Repetitive motion injuries are also commonly attributed to video games, but they can be prevented by reducing the frequency of play.

Video games can be linked indirectly to many health problems, but if you're educated about how to prevent them, you can avoid them. Gaming can become a fun and safe experience for almost anyone.

Video games by and large do not hurt people. The only way they can hurt people is indirectly, usually relating to addiction, obesity or anti-social behaviour. However, this is usually only caused by a lack of maturity from the players part, and the maturity of one must be taken into account for decisions on buying a game. Take for example a typical nine year old kid. Most, not all, nine year olds are simply not mature enough to handle a video game such as Grand Theft Auto or other "M" rated games. It can hurt them by causing violence issues and other emotional problems. Overall, video games can only hurt people if they are not ready for them, and this must be taken into consideration before purchase.

Note: While age ratings on games are generally good, just because your son is 12, does not mean is definetely too immature for a 15's game. Knowing yourself how mature someone is can be invaluable, even for your relationship. Video games are only bad for some.
