[Vyom]

For all those worrying about going to gym, I'd like to quote something from above infographic,

"Sitting 6+ hours per day makes you up to 40% likelier to die within 15 years than someone who sits less than 3. Even if you exercise."

I think the keywords are, "EVEN IF YOU EXERCISE"
I mean, What The ....

But i think sitting + excercise > better than sitting and well just sitting

No wonder our farmers are fit than us so-called "awesome city people". :\

[sreemat0p]

Does this mean I have to hit the gym again?

[axes2t2]

What about those who are in schools?

[Sarath]

Those who are in schools spend most of the time playing in dirt after school hours.

[mitraark]

Still , school ~ 3 Hours sitting at a stretch.

College - sitting ~ 4 Hours at a Strech

Oh my:

[sygeek]

^Off-topic post with pic...

[thetechfreak]

I read it somewhere in internet-
sitting burns 70 calorie each hour!

[Vyom]

^^ You must have read it in, "Imaginary Daily"

This thread reminds of Gaming is like drugs

[Vyom]

^^ TFS that article.
Well, I completely agree with the context, of the article. And that's why the following quote is one of the fav for gamers,
"Who needs drugs, when we have got Gaming!"

[sygeek]

No offense, but that article feels kind of stupid to me. Gaming doesn't kill people unless and until you game consecutively for 3-4 days, which is a whole different case. Addiction to gaming is as normal as facebook addiction.
Now, who the hell does these kinds of surveys..?!

Umm, look here: Ig Nobel Prize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[sygeek]

^Does that relate to what I said in any possible way?
Fail troll..

[Sarath]

Gaming does effect your personal life and mental health. The problems with such addictions is that the long term effects are never observed and difficult to.

Been a gamer from the times of 8-bit games.

Anything that has withdrawal symptoms is bad.

I hope people here are aware that new laws in South?North? Korea stipulates that there would be no online gaming after 9pm.

[Vyom]

Wow.. That's one GREAT Law! Only if they Really follow.

[sygeek]

^What about facebook addiction, any law for that? Gaming has side-effects just like every other thing in the world, but at the same time it has it's advantages too. Yes, I'm talking about games like flight simulator, race genres and other FPS-genre games (helps increase hand-eye co-ordination) have their respective advantages. Now, I'm not going to mention it, as long as you're aware of something called...umm..google?

[Sarath]

Their entire country's young population is so much into MMORPGs and such that they fear the security of the nation.
The law is already in place and internet providers not following the rule are being penalised.

We are already off topic and even when we discuss gaming if we include Facebook, Smoking, Drinking, etc etc then we are drifting further away from the topic.

[gameranand]

Oh boy......this news scared the hell out of me......I nearly sit for like 12 hours a day..Gotta reduce that.

[funkysourav]

if i read the infographic corectly,
it says exercise ain't as important as getting up from your chair and talking a lil walk
it makes sure that the nerves in your foot don't go to sleep (being distal from spine)
and walking a bit makes sure your Blood flow doesn't fall below waist and prevents potbelly and other such maladies

bottomline
don't go to gym if you don't like it,
but walk 1 min every half hour or try to stand as much as possible
