With all the media attention to ^ and reports of people dying during these long gaming sessions, it honestly blows me away that people still do these super long gaming sessions. So sad :'(

People who sit too much every day are at an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and shorter life spans, even if they exercise.

What about people that cannot walk? Probably should wait until at least an investigation into his death is completed before blaming his gaming marathon which i dunno the full details but they did say he was taking a break. It seems reasonable that if he was taking a smoke break he had done so earlier in the marathon as well due to the addictive nature of smoking. Altho when considering all the ways to die, i think a gaming marathon would fall in 2nd place right after sex with my wife in the best ways for me to end it all. But i get the feeling that wont ever happen considering a brown widow bite to the face couldnt stop me.

My guess is that this has been going on since the first PC and consoles were sold. One would think that it happens just as often when people binge watch Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Well I haven't seen anyone binge watch Netflix for 22 hours but when watching long bouts of TV people are more apt to get something out of the refrigerator, or go to the toilet more often then when they are engaged in binge gaming. People tend to move around more when binge watching TV. The same needs to apply for people on long airline flights. They need to stretch often and get out of their seats a few times.

Everything in too much quantity can end up with death, be it gaming, working, eating or exercising.

Yah I can see how marathon gaming has a unique way of keeping you up and putting you under a certain kind of stress that wouldn't happen in other situations were you could dose off. Gaming can elivate the heart rate and whatever, while not exercising, like say some military situation might keep you up like that in a highted focused state, but you are more than likely very active. IDK, but there is something crazy going on here, better to be careful.

People that can't walk won't stand to allow the clots to move to the heart

Doesn't work that way my friend. Blood brings life to the tissue and it has to circulate. It doesn't matter if the brain or something cannot move the legs, it still has to have blood circulating in them or you will have to amputate.

Buah merah mix on amazon.com increases blood flow and dissolved oxygen concentration in the blood among many other benefits. Great way to stay stroke free.
