A study of gamers in Portugal reveals that most get physical activity, have healthy diets, and play for reasonable amounts of time.
Gone are the days of the gamer as a slovenly neckbeard: a new study suggests that actually, your average video game enjoyer is a pretty healthy person., investigated the physical and mental health of 270 Portuguese gamers who reported playing at least seven hours per week in the past month.
One interesting tidbit they discovered is that the typical "highly engaged" gamer played an average of 3.5 hours a day — not a small amount by any means, but hardly as excessive as gaming stereotypes would have you believe. The myth of gamers shoving their faces full of Doritos and slamming down energy drinks? That appears to be a bust too, with most reporting that they didn't eat while gaming, with overall healthy diets.
Of course, the study has a few notable drawbacks. Chiefly, it surveyed only gamers in Portugal, who experience vastly different health outcomes and ways of living than those in the, the US. And with 270 participants, the study isn't especially large, either.
