A few weeks ago I stumbled upon an article which stated that Men who oggle Women's bodies are healthier than their non-oggling counterparts. The study found that people who spend 30 minutes a day being visually stimuated by the opposite sex live longer, are thinner, and happier. They pointed to the effect this oggling has on one physiologically: the heart rate increases, blood vessels are affected. It's like getting a workout without the workout.
Now, extrapolating from this and seeing my own life, I've come to a few ideas. My familiy spends much less time than I do playing games. My 30 year old brother nearest my age is heavier than me, works out often, but does not play video games. I rarely excercise as my asthema and joints really hold me back, and spend several hours a week excercising my FRAGGING finger. Yet despite my lack of excercise I'm still thinner than he. Reason? Yes, it could be also that I'm, uh, married hence the side benefits. But he was married a few years ago, but has been the same size since then. The answer comes down to what keeps my heart rate up the longest--video games.
MOHAA and RTCW are two more recent ones I'll use as examples. I really got into these, as there's always a baddie nearby waiting to *SNIPE* ya. This atmosphere sustained over a few hours every day will make a difference.
This perception is not supported by much data, and probably can be refuted. But still, there has to be an ounce of truth here.
