This is Micheal -- an avid gamer from the year 2040, who has been gaming without caring about healthy lifestyle habits. Micheal is a visual representation of the future gamer.
OnlineCasino conducted a study looking at reports from National Health Service, World Health Organisation, The National Geographic among others to carve out what ill effects a bad gamer lifestyle could bring to an individual. And while he doesn¡¯t look as cool, he isn¡¯t very healthy on the insides either.

The research sheds light on the fact that toxic gaming habits can have drastic and irreversible impacts on the human body, including muscles, skin, and eyes. Staying indoors, void from getting enough Vitamin D and B-12 for long has caused Michael¡¯s skin to get all pale.
Sleepless gaming marathons have resulted in dark circles. Incorrect posture while gaming has bent his back forever, making him slouch, while his skin has stress-related eczema around his legs and hands.
Tapping his thumb on the controller or keyboard has caused him to have ¡®Playstation Thumb¡¯ or Onycholysis -- a nail disorder caused by repetitive trauma such as tapping fingernails on a keyboard or controller, causing the fingernail to loosen from its nail bed. These can also induce pain from muscle stiffness and blisters in the fingertips.

How to prevent yourself from turning into Micheal
Researchers show that Micheal could be the future of gaming addicts. However, there are ways to prevent this from happening. They recommend exercising, stretching and warming up muscles at regular intervals.
They also recommend setting the screens at a brightness level that won¡¯t cause eye strain, as well as taking breaks from looking at screens for hours.
Eat a proper healthy diet, not just rely on junk food and sodas as well as set up the gaming station in a way the gamer¡¯s posture is upright and not hunched.
They urge gamers to keep themselves hydrated, drink plenty of water, and once in a while, take a break and step out for a walk to give the skin the nutrition it needs.
