The health of young people is very seriously affected by games and the time spent playing every day, or at least that's what a recent study in the USA says, and the results are of course worrying. The study was conducted on parents who watch their children every day spending many hours in front of televisions, computers, or phones and tablets, this seriously affecting their health and the way they interact with people.
According to the parents, boys play twice as often as girls, which of course is very normal, but of course this affects their health more, and the problem is reported by many as a very serious one. More than half of the parents participating in the study claim that their children play for at least 3 hours every day, which has a serious impact on their physical and mental health.
The Health of Young People is EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY Affected by Games
Children who spend so much time playing have affected not only their physical and mental health, but also the way they interact with people, the way they sleep at night, the way they learn, or the way they make friends. Children who play a lot become even more introverted, according to those who did this study, and in the long term their mental health suffers a lot, but of course this was known to many people before.
"Overall, parents surveyed say that gambling often gets in the way of other aspects of their teen's life, such as family activities and interactions (46%), sleep (44%), homework (34%), friendship with peers who do not play games (33) %) and extracurricular activities (31%). Although many parents believe that video games can be good for teenagers, they also report a number of negative impacts of prolonged gaming."
Mental health is affected by isolation in games, but physical health is affected due to the fact that those children do not exercise enough every day, just as it happens with those who work in the office, for example. The vast majority of parents do not really know how to manage the situation, so that often the physical and mental health of children is very seriously affected in the long term, and the problems are difficult to solve.
People's health is generally affected by activities that involve spending long periods of time in one place, and isolation from the real world, so it's not just games that are a serious problem.
