Playing games for enough time is not only entertaining, but also helps train the brain. However, playing games for a long time and continuously, even to the point of addiction, greatly affects health and body shape.
An American research team has created a model that simulates the appearance of people playing the game for a long time. The researchers named this model Michael.
The research team made predictions about the real effect on the body of Michael who became a game addict. They display physical changes in Michael's body who continued to play the game for dozens of hours a day for 20 years.
If Michael's condition of playing long games every day doesn't stop, by 2040 Michael will have a sunken skull from the stress of wearing too many headphones and baldness will appear because he is only at home.
Without much exposure to sunlight, it causes a vitamin D deficiency. In addition, his eyes are red and have dark circles due to staying up late playing games that cause sleep disturbances.
Playing games continuously for 20 years will make Michael's body different from normal people. Sitting in the wrong position for long periods of time and sedentary habits lead to a hunched back, rounded shoulders, raised humps, and obesity from sitting too much.
In addition, the skin color will be pale due to low levels of vitamin D. Researchers went down to describe Michael overusing the PlayStation controller which caused the structure of his fingers to change significantly, especially the thumb. In addition, if Michael uses the keyboard and mouse to play games, not only Michael's fingers but also his wrists will be deformed.
Finally, playing games continuously for long periods of time can also cause Michael to have deformities in his legs. So much so that she will have varicose veins and swollen legs by 2040.
All of the above estimates show how people who play games for a long time and continuously (gaming addiction) can be severely affected. Therefore, to avoid this pattern from happening to you, it's a good idea to control the time spent playing games so that just enough is not excessive.
