You should have a schedule for playing poker like a job. Use it and add in an exercise time and stick to it. It will make you feel better, have more focus at the table, and probably improve your game.

MTT participants know better than anyone else that a tournament last hours if you make the FT. Sedentary lifestyle is the main drawback for online poker for me. Don't play everyday and hope that no one is prefer poker to socializing unless is the best option given!

Health problems are not related to poker. Problems begin because of a sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition. I have little time in front of the computer and so I do not have any health problems yet. Also I have no success in poker. I pay little attention to him.

Most definitely. I used to stare at my computer screen for countless of hours. Instead of overeating I would under eat. Of course the girlfriend disapproved it at times which caused other health problems...

Don't enjoy poker enough to risk my health. You be hard pressed to find any one who would.

My bankroll has developed the occasional health problem but not me. I make the most of the 5 minute break in tournaments just to get up and walk around, stretch, get refreshments etc. I feel I'd have a bad back or something by now if I didn't.

Try to be very active before sitting down to play poker. No health problems here.

I’m the opposite. I started playing poker again because of health problems. I am on disability after having 3 failed back surgeries so looking to fill time and can’t exercise due to physical limitations. Poker helps keep my mind active though.

To be fair you can't really blame poker for any health issues. It is your responsibility to look after yourself and obtain adequate nutrition and exercise. Anyone not doing this would probably have the same results if they were distracted by other activities like a stressful job or video games/other hobbies.

I’ve been watching a lot of world poker tour lately and the final table rarely have anyone overweight. Seems like the better players understand the importance of exercise as well.

Sometimes when I really tired I can have a nervous breakdown because of poker's river.

Poker (especially MTT) often translates in lack of proper sleep. And lack of sleep can have very damaging effects on one's health. I recommend the book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. Or at least listen to some of his podcasts where he was invited (google him).

The first time I hear this, yes, I admitted that someone may have problems in terms of the psyche, but in such a way that there are no general functional ones ..

How about this? On the days you choose to play poker you do a 15 min workout and eat properly (balance diet).

No poker- you eat all the junk you want and don't excercise.
