I loved this idea when I thought about it for walking or jogging. Then I realized how many will try it while driving. Horrifying. Think I'll sell my car and buy something indestructible to ride around in. Like a snowplow. Or a tank.

Yea, sitting for hours in front of pc is not exactly healthy. Who would have thought hehe..... but I don't smoke, don't eat or drink all that much. I get exercise while running and I walk three times per day with my dog. It's good to get out. What bothers me the most are my poor eyes suffering if I stare at PC for hours.

just like in case with alchohol use/abuse, it is healthy to drink up to 2 drinks per day which increases HDLC ( high density lipoprotein cholesterol) but unfortunely if you cross that limit you have a great chance to increase a LDLC ( low density lipoprotein cholesterol) which increases a level of triglycerides and increases a blood pressure which implies the increase of chances of cardiovascular disease. And those are the facts. Now about the gambling, i'm sure that we have a quite similar efects, i little adrenaline wont harm us but it's very important to say that it's also very important how you handle your loses and winnings, do you have a genetic predisposition to develop a cardiovascular disease or a diabetes etc.

I would think anyone who spends too much time at the computer would have these issues if not watched out for. Remember this, from the TV cartoon, South Park?
An exaggeration, perhaps, but not too far off if you let yourself go!

Recent research at a Canadian University indicates that poker is good for releasing stress. This result has come as a surprise to many who view poker as a high stress and high risk game.
The cortisol levels of online poker players was monitored as they played online poker and it was found that their cortisol, otherwise known as “the stress hormone”, levels dropped significantly as they played. The levels continued to drop, by up to 17%, as the players progressed and became increasingly engaged in the game.
The reasoning behind this, Canadian scientists believe, is that the intense focus given during the poker game allows the players to forget or move their focus away from their daily responsibilities and worries. The intense focus is required because poker is such a complex game and players naturally get drawn in when playing. By taking a break from constantly thinking and worrying about daily responsibilities, the brain starts releasing less and less cortisol.
Prior to this research, it was also found by scientists that online gambling also improves the cognitive functioning of the brain. This applies to poker especially because of the never ending variables in the game- players are constantly thinking and learning and adapting and this provides excellent exercise for the brain.
So by playing poker, players are reducing stress as well as exercising the brain. These findings might have an influence in the US where whether to legalize online poker is an ongoing debate.

Time spent playing poker can be spent eating infact i like to eat as much as possible while playing cause its good killing two birds at a time... that is if u kill birds which i do not . Poker just kinda feeds the fire if your unhealthy itl show more if u sit around alot period. Please be healthy everyone heart problems are very bad and are hard to take care of and that was also high in alot of poker players that are older mostly.
