Moderation/Activitie: I dont know your age but whatever yourage is, playing video games has to be in moderation and you have to get up and do some physical activities, like walking, jogging, dancing, bicycling etc.If you want to be healthy you have to balance it out good luck.

Balance: Maintaining a balance between playing video games and physical activity is essential to a balanced healthy life. Consult with your family physician about what that balance is for you. Wishing you'all the very best.
