Everyone keeps going on about how bad video games are for you but they are blind to the fact video games actually have positive health effects that’s right positive as in good! I’m going to explain five amazing positive effects of video games to you right now! If you can’t hack the fact video games might actually be good for you then stop reading now.
"Video games damage your eyesight". Well I'm sorry but they actually improve your eyesight! Playing video games and watching the screen; trying to find the guy who's trying to snipe you improves your eyesight. This is because your eyes react to the fact they are being worked hard and become more efficient so that next time they won't have to work as hard to perform the same task!
Video games can improve your logic and ability to solve problems. This is because most games involve some sort of strategy that you need to find out and improve as the game progresses; this is effectively training your brain's logic and strategic abilities thus making it more efficient and effective.
Your hand eye coordination is greatly improved playing video games. Nearly all video games require continual fast, accurate and precise hand, finger and thumb movements. This strengthens the muscles in your hands and greatly improves your hand eye co-ordination.
Reaction speeds increase hugely from playing video games! In nearly all video games you often need to react fast. Obviously if you do something a lot then you are going to get better at it and it is for this reason that video games improve your reflexes and reaction speeds.
Last but not least video games improve your concentration span. Because in most games you need to concentrate for extended periods of time; the slightest lapse in concentration will be punished in nearly all games. If you concentrate lots then your concentration span will increase!
Video games are good for you! However I am not saying that playing 5 hours of video games a day is good for you because it is not; you will become unfit, tired and lazy all of which are detrimental to your health. But in moderation video games can be good for you!
