Gaming is not an exception. Right from the inception of video games, there has been so much concern about the possible effects of video gaming, the effects consist of both positive effect and the negative aspect of it. This is why I took the time to craft this article to illuminate your mind on the positive effects and the negative effects of gaming on your health and PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will auspicate from the effects of gaming on your health, then I close by giving you the effects of gaming on your <a href=\"http:\/\/theemotionalcomputer.com.au\">Personal Computer [PC]<\/a>. Most times, so many people believe that gaming can lead to violence when a child&#8217;s mind is filled with violent acts he perpetrated on gaming. To some extent this is true but it&#8217;s not 100%. After the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, so many people believed that video gaming tends to influence the mind of gamers towards violence and other social vices, though it&#8217;s not scientifically proven, so many people believe in this. My submission here is nothing else other to guide your mind because you see violence every ranging from the internet, news media, social media, in the neighborhood, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; Other than that,\nthere are other negative effects of heavy gaming on your health that I will\nlist out here. They include musculoskeletal issues, vision problems, epileptic\nseizures, obesity, etc. I will explain the headings and give you some possible\nremedies.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Musculoskeletal issues: <\/strong>This is a term\nused to refer to pains in the hands, wrist, back, and neck. Other\nmusculoskeletal body parts are all-inclusive. Gamers at some point complain\nabout pains on their wrists, neck, back, and hands. These come about when you sit\nat a spot for a long period of time playing games. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; A study claims that\ndaily computer used of 2 hours or more increases the risk for pain at the most\nanatomic sites. Sitting at a spot and playing games for hours will always\nresult in pains in the Musculoskeletal system.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; The best way to\navoid is to play games for a limited time and carry on with other chores, this\nwill help you to stretch the body. If you practice this, these issues are not\nfor you.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Vision problems: <\/strong>The vision problem is\nself-explanatory. These are the problems related to vision. This is caused by\nexcessive viewing of the screen. Excessive viewing of the computer screen can\ncause eye strain, like the cornea, pupil, and iris are not intended for mass\nviewing sessions of any electronic device. The excessive use of video games\nwill result in headaches, dizziness, and a rare chance of vomiting.<br>\n<br>\nOn the other part, video games can also be used to improve various eye\nconditions. As I mentioned earlier that there is always a negative and positive\neffect on everything. Its believed and scientifically proven that gamers can\nfocus more than those who are not gamers.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; There was a rule\nthat was created which is known as the 20 20 20 rule. This rule means that\nevery 20 minutes, you look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Epileptic seizures: <\/strong>In early 1993, a\nboy was choked to death on his vomit during a seizure caused by the excessive\nplaying of a video game, for this reason, the game console manufacturer\nrequired that epilepsy warnings be included in the instruction manuals for all\ngames published for their consoles. <br>\n<br>\nIn another study carried out in 1994 by pediatrics, they found out that video\ngames cause seizures to people who suffer from epilepsy. The remedy that was\ngiven for people who suffer from epileptic conditions was to stay 10 feet or\nmore away from the TV set and they should put on sunglasses while playing. <br>\n<br>\n<\/li><li><strong>Obesity:<\/strong> Reduction of physical\nactivities will always lead to obesity. This is a natural phenomenon. The Body\nMass Index always increases when there are fewer physical activities. A study\nshows that boys that spent less than 1.5 hours on the television and playing\nvideo games were 75.4% less likely to be overweight than those who spend more\nthan 1.5 hours.<br>\n<br>\n&nbsp;The best way to stay fit while playing\nvideo games is to always engage in diverse physical activities. This way, you\nwill maintain a good physical body. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; There are so many positive effects of gaming on your <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Health\">health <\/a>which include vision correction [Note this should be strictly on the recommendation of a health physician], problems solving logic, multitasking, accuracy, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These positive effects include high accuracy, perseverance, estimating skills, high level of reasoning, mapping, multi-tasking, high level of concentration, risk-taking, etc. There are so many benefits of video gaming on your health. I will now move to the effects of gaming on your PC, this is the talk of the town. Most people believe that gaming is not good for your PC. I will take the time to tell you everything you need to know about gaming and your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Negative effects of gaming on your Personal Computer [PC]<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many beliefs about the effect of gaming on your\nPC, 70 percent believe that gaming does more harm than good to your PC, the\nremaining 30 percent believe that its all lie. The truth is that heavy gaming\ncan harm your computer if the configurations are not up to the standard of the\ngames. You may ask how can a game harm my computer? Its very simple, this can\nhappen if your computer gets too hot if your computer over clocks, heavy gaming\ncan lead to peripheral wears, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;Ways gaming can harm\nyour computer:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Don\u2019t let your computer get too hot: <\/strong>&nbsp;Prolong playing of video games can increase the temperature of your computer when this happens, it can cause burns on your PC&#8217;s motherboard and other components. Once this happens, your computer can never be in a normal state. <br> <br> Before playing games on your PC, you must <a href=\"https:\/\/discountagent.co.uk\/blog\/\">consider<\/a> your system configurations to ascertain if it&#8217;s compatible with the game&#8217;s minimum requirements. I always advise people to go for gaming PCs that come with a very high gaming configuration.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Heavy gaming may lead to peripheral wears: <\/strong>this\nis brought about by when your peripheral parts such as speakers are working\nunder a higher condition. For example, the speaker will just play at a reduced\nrate when on normal activities but when you are gaming, it will tend to play\nhigher and harder in other to give you the best out of it. This can lead to\nwear.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp; Remedy:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>There is always a remedy for everything on\nplanet earth. The truth is the fact that gaming can harm your pc if you don\u2019t\nconsider the minimum gaming requirements before installing. <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>The\nnext thing is the fact that if your play games that are compatible with your\npc, it won\u2019t harm your system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My kind advice is to always buy a gaming PC, this way, you will enjoy playing games on your PC, or you can buy a PlayStation game console or any other gaming console you can afford.
