Topic: Every Gambler Should Be Aware Of This Health Risk (Read 739 times)

Young people are now having high blood pressure these days most of them are not even up to 30 years old. People don't realize that the tension that comes with gambling isn't healthy especially when you are taking a very huge risk
Why must you put yourself through all that. Having an increased blood pressure can cause a lot of damage to the body and if it continues it might cause the heart to fail. While you are trying to make money remember to take care of your body so you won't spend those money you Ve worked hard to get on medications. Gamble moderately

The only difference of typical work that sitting to gambling is you are entertained to be remained seated for a long time while playing in gambling due to the entertainment it can provide while work related usually make you not totally immersed in what you are doing because you have co-worker and other things that needs to attend for work.

But I think this article focuses only on hardcore gamblers since not all gamblers dedicated most of their life gambling. Some gambler like me just gamble using free time.

Maintaining health only needs to be done by exercising regularly by having a healthy lifestyle as about, maintaining eating and drinking is also still good for maintaining your health. After all, office workers also sit all day but anyway, many of them remain healthy even though indeed, the reality is that there are also those who suffer from diseases but still,  in fact to maintain health it can be done by having a good balance in carrying out your daily activities, not meaning to stay away from gambling.

After all, if the reality is that office workers also experience pain caused by long periods of sitting, then they should also stay away from work done in the office for most of the day. Therefore, I say to keep you healthy is that you must be able to have a healthy lifestyle, at least have time to exercise in your spare time and also maintain a healthy diet as well. Thus it is very likely that you will stay healthy even though you gamble a lot every day.

In my country, workers like bank cashiers barely take a break to stand and walk around. It's not only gamblers who spend multiple hours on screen; some don't take a break, unlike other computer users who may rest after work. They gamble over time, which isn't conducive to their health. According to this article, taking a short break each hour is better than taking a long break.

For example, taking 5 - 10 minutes of rest per hour is better than taking 20-minute breaks after 2 hours. When I purchased my Dell desktop computer, this warning on taking breaks was written clearly on the CPU. I began following the instructions strictly, which reduced my back pains.

Why not gamble while lying on a couch or bed? Modern technologies, thanks to the Internet and smartphones, allow you to do this.

I am sure that the source of problems (for health) in your story is not gambling, but the modern man himself, who leads a sedentary lifestyle. It is only in your case that you spend your free time from work gambling with a sedentary lifestyle. Gambling could have been anything but sports. For example, computer games, movies, TV series or talk shows on TV. That is, it is not gambling that forces people to lead a sedentary lifestyle and this is in no way the cause of a sedentary lifestyle, but only one of the consequences, which could have been any other hobby (TV, YouTube, computer or mobile games). Even now, while you are reading this post, you are doing it from your "couch".

Any gambler, puzzled by the issue of maintaining his health, would have gotten up and gone to the gym in this moment.

I am not trying to ridicule the article but if this is the case then everyone is in trouble not just gamblers. In fact gambling needs resources and not everyone is rich enough to maintain gambling for so long as compared with those who play games.
Yes this is a great awareness but it's not only meant for gamblers. Generally those whose work or day to day life requires stationary position in a chair.
Also finding out time to get some exercise in can help very well..

It's not particularly about working from home, but rather sitting in one place for a very long time. One can work from home, but while working, you can also take a break to relax your brain after working for long hours. There are some gamblers who can spend the rest of their day at a land-based casino or even in an online casino at home. No matter where the gambler is gambling, whether online or offline, it is better to take a break after sitting on the game for a long time.There was this old neighborhood that I was staying in before, and in that place, there's one board game that some old men in their late 40s and above are always coming to play and bet on every day. Sometimes you can see just two men placing their bets and starting to play; they can sit on that game for eleven hours. There's one particular man in that place; I don't even know if he actually leaves that place at all, because every time you see him there, If you don't see him playing the game in his own turn, you will either see him betting on other players.

In a time where people are becoming too busy, it is important we create time for leisure and exercise which are vital for health. So I love the fact that you understand the importance of excusing yourself and take care of yourself. There was a time I used to spend so much time sitting on my computer day and night due to workload and I realized I was getting sick often and my bones becoming  to stiff. Then I rarely sweat because of not seeing much of the such and staying inside air conditioned environment. At a point I noticed it has become a serious problem to me so I started making effort to be exercising everyday especially before I take my bath. I spend 10 to 15minutes doing minor exercise before I bath and that was how I got myself back.

All that which you have stated are all valid and  very true, any job that causes you to sit for a very long time is enough to get you suffering any of those which you have mentioned and gabling especially for those who are into it full time are very liable to suffer this because they will have to sit almost all day because they need that focus for them to be able to make good picks and be able to  make the best off gambling that day. gambling has several health risk factors but mostly considered has always been that of them been the financial and mental.

this health issue that may arise from gambling is such that's usually neglected yet its got its dangers it does pose to gamblers as much as the most spoken about gambling health challenges. for our jobs especially for remote workers who have to spend a good part of the day doing that which they have got to do, they needs to apply health measures to check that they don't get to suffer any of the health conditions that may arise from any of this.

No matter how busy I am with my laptop, I always create time to stay away from my computer for a few hours. I always feel some pain in my eye when I spend more than the time I am supposed to spend on my computer. When you are working online, then you should make sure you have a time when you will always go on break. Whenever you are on break, always go out and have some fresh air. Don't just sit and press your computer. If you are too busy with your job and you don’t have time for your health, then time will come when you won’t be able to do the job again, and you will start spending all the money you have made on your health, so we shouldn’t be carried away.

You are quite wise in managing your every activity and giving a portion for gambling and gambling should not be a daily necessity because it is only as entertainment and not the main job (for me), but of course it will be different when compared to other people or those who gamble continuously.

More important activities such as in the main job, sports, interacting with family are very important and are not replaced by gambling, gambling is only a few percent.

Maintaining that mentality is more important, because if a person only focuses on gambling, they will tend to be more stressed and any strategy will be useless.
A good and healthier quality of life is important and the main thing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
