Topic: Every Gambler Should Be Aware Of This Health Risk - page 3. (Read 739 times)

Among all the listed health issues, one I noticed I constantly have is back pain, this is pain around my neck area which possibly is due to too much sitting, bending and typing either on my phone or laptop.

But then, if it's about gambling, I don't gamble quite often, and even when I do gamble, I often only do when I am lying down, since I often use it as a way to relax while waiting to fall asleep.

All the same though, those who spend so much time sitting and gambling should try to do some walk out from time to time, this takes nothing, but rather, helps the person stay healthier, I can't even imagine myself sitting for several hours without standing up and walking around for a while before coming back to sit again.

People who sit down on their personal computer for a long period of time everyday are prone to have a serious postural defect it's not advisable to do this. Gambling comes with a lot of pressure too so you might start developing anxiety disorders which might lead to panic attacks along the line. This might cause complex health issues later on in the future. it's important to protect your mental health at all cost because losing money will definitely lead to depression and emotional distress which isn't good for anyone. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and don't get addicted to gambling

I am one who is also glued to the chair for many hours because my work is at home and my other income is also online, everything is done using my computer and there's a small amount of time that I am standing up or walking.
Yes, it can be a health risk involved in that kind of cycle and there's one time that I already felt one of it. Sore knee. I was actually surprised when it happened to me, I sat in a bad position and when I stood back up it was just hurting like crazy.
It's the cold nerves, I think. I put some good ointment in it which felt really hot and Voila! it was gone the next day. I think that is the problem, our nerves can be sleeping and we cannot just shock them by doing crazy movements.

Health problems associated with sitting at a computer monitor for a long time while gambling are not specific. Almost all representatives of sedentary professions have exactly the same or similar problems. These are accountants, copywriters and freelancers in general, drivers, customer service operators and many others. The specificity of a gambler is most likely that in addition to sedentary work, he has or often has stressful situations. Negative emotions associated with losing money, experiencing failures, worrying about your financial future, uncertainty about the ability to compensate for your loss and much more. After all, accountants have a slightly different job. More boring, I would say. Well, the list of diseases, of course, is quite long - these are all somatoneurotic diseases.

The whole things you just explained doesn’t sound like fun again and remember the first reason we are gambling is to have fun or entertain ourselves so if doing this doesn’t make it fun and instead kills you then why do it?

Personally I’m not the type of person who sites to gamble except in rare occasion when I’m on my laptop - most of the times I gamble with my mobile phone and when I’m doing it I usually don’t sit cause it’s feels somewhat tiring - just sitting and staring into my phone or operating my phone, I usually just lay down on a soafer and get down to business. I don’t do the job the requires me sitting all through the day so I kinda don’t fit into those categories of people that might have an issue just ting and gambling (even though I don’t sit to game in most cases).

It’s still nice of your nephew to be bothered about your health.

Your nephew gives a good suggestion not to sit for too long because that will not good for your health. But many people will not aware of that because they thinks that they have a lot of work that they must do in that day even they will do that every day and not thinks about their health. That is happens to many gamblers who sit for a long time and that will gives a bad effect to their health. Once their health is effect, their mental and emotional will also effect and that will effect to yourself.

We must take care of our health and not sitting for too long and don't forget to drink a water because many people forget to do this and that is clear to effect to their health. Yes, I already know about that and I trying not to sitting in my chair for too long and every an hour, I will do something else and moves my body to other things. We must control our activity and pay attention to our health so we can keeps healthy.

I'm a gambler too but I really don't know how some gamblers can sit comfortably for hours looking at a screen and just gambling, too much screen time can affect your sight and sitting for long can cause back pain or in few cases a postural defect, talking about the main health risk involved that I know of is a heart attack or a stroke..The anxiety that comes with staking a high amount of money is very unhealthy to the heart, having those shocks and rapid heartbeat constantly can put you at risk of having a cardiovascular disorder, it's better to just do it for entertainment..

There are exercises we should be doing for using our computer or our phone for so long, soreness is just one disadvantage from seating for a long time and you can relieve yourself by running or taking a walk. I keep aside 2 hours weekly for walking because I know I set down too much. My seating is not only from gambling but from my work too as I spent all day attending to customers while seated. My main concern about gambling is the eye problem that can result from too much screen time. I have been recommended an eyeglass to help reduce my exposure to the screen but it feels weird when I am using it to gamble as I love to feel like I am in the casino when I look directly at the screen also when I am trading, so for now I just do some eye exercises when done.

This is  one of the reasons why I prefer to visit the land based casinos from time to time. They have plenty of gambling pits where one can walk around and stretch his bones. Thus I would advocate you to do the same. It would be a madness for me to sit the whole day in the front of display as my ordinary routine involves the work with computer.

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.

Indeed, sitting too long is not good, besides the joints that can become problematic, we will also feel sore, which of course I feel myself. Even when I sit too long to work or others I feel sore and dizzy, so what I do when that happens is to get some fresh air by walking around. For example, we do have to sit for a long time because the job is natural because work is something that must be done, but if it is for gambling by sitting for a long time it should not be done. Therefore, gambling should be done in moderation.

I think everyone will feel sore when sitting too long to do something, and when the soreness is felt then they will find their own way to relieve the soreness. Health certainly needs to be considered because it is also an important thing, if you have been sitting for a long time in the field of work then we should not do the same thing when we are at home, we should do other activities that can make our bodies move.

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.

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.

Additionally, sitting for long periods of time is often associated with musculoskeletal problems such as back and neck pain, caused by poor posture and stress in sitting Increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome which the chances of heart disease, stroke and diabetes are increased Mental health can also be affected Contributing to , the stress caused by gambling and can exacerbate these effects, if one sits longer , increasing his risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition that causes bleeding in the legs. To reduce these risk factors you need to get regular movement into your routine - take stretching breaks or a walk every 30 minutes, exercise regularly and in good posture (it all helps) maintain this at work moving more generally supports overal health.Move move MOVE. 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
