ADULT GAMERS tend to be overweight, inclined to depression and illness and, well, are getting older.

A study conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that adult male gamers have a higher than average body-mass index, and that adult female gamers have a higher than average incidence of depression and illness.

The average age of the adult gamer is now 35 and both sexes said they found it easier to make friends online than in face-to-face encounters.

According to Network World, the study sampled 500 adults aged 19 to 90 in the Seattle-Tacoma area, of which some 45 per cent said they played video games.

But who cares if you're an aging, lardy, sad-sack in reality when you can be the all-conquering warrior wizard of Zarg online, eh?

YES, get your LAZY @$$ TO THE GYM IMMEDIATELY AND DO 100 Pushup, 200 Pullups and 500 SITUPS PRONTO!!!

On a serious note though, your health is nothing to play with, if you intend to (as most gamers) be playing will into the twilight of your life, first you have to LIVE to reach your twilight. Whilst admittantly I am NOT as fit as I used to be, I still make the effort to make it to the gym as regularly as work and life permits (read 3-4 times a week). That being said, EATING is the MOST CRITICAL part of controlling weight. Take if from someone whos battled with weight most of his natural life so far, when I say EATING is 80-90% of the battle. Exercise is MANDATORY, but what controls your size is mostly your eating habits and WHAT you eat.

*Sgt W1nTry goes back on the offensive*

Yeah man everything in moderation, diet and exercise are very important for your health. Though yeah it does be hard at times to eat properly and get that exercise in.
