I’ve been a big gamer my entire life, and while too much gaming and gaming addiction are very real problems, many studies show that playing video games actually has several health benefits, as long as you don’t overdo it. Turns out playing Fortnite, Minecraft, or even classic RPG’s can benefit your social life and even your grades!

It's probablya lot better for your brain and mental health than just watching TV.
PREEEACH, DOC!
Kenma do be celebrating tho
Cool
Not me wanting to send this to my parents
I got into gaming only in my early 30s (40 years old now) and I can confirm – they actually improved my reaction time. Still nowhere near ye kids born with a gamepad in your hands, but I'm definitely better at shooters than I was when I started. And it paid off when I got back to driving lessons! I think the reason games get their bad reputation is because many people play games at night instead of getting their beauty sleep (guilty! hardly my fault I need a full time job :D). BTW wasn't there a study a couple years back about the elderly with Alzheimer's improving over playing puzzle games and using Internet?
Not me purposefully listening to this next to my mom
Moms:Imma pretend I didn’t hear that
I have a question what happends when you exercise while eating unhealthy foods are you burning calories or gaining calories?
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii and they say it’s only bad, boomers, am I right (this is half a joke)
Best thing for parents to do is actually sit down and play the games with their children. Use them as teachable moments.
I play a lot of siege and hearts of iron so I think My brain is developing pretty well
I remembered of this game. Its called "Rhythm Doctor". You maybe should react to that game. Its epic
As someone with autism, I also learned that for children with autism, gaming can improve environmental awareness
Now I want to know how the Sims is benefiting me xD
Mom! my doctor told me to play at least 3 hours Cod and 4 hours of Minecraft..This will benefit the brain the white thingys in my brain!
It's the reasonable doses that gets failed at lol
Though reading these comments I think you all think gaming 24/7 is considered reasonable doses
Yoo horizon zero dawn enters the video
Mm so that explains why i can make a mental image of things that i can't see
Me who plays games for 6 hours per day:
I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you
Imma show this to my parents
It would be cool to see you react to the Columbo episode about a surgeon that murdered his patients (played by Leonard Nimoy)
Doctort Mike where do you get your information from?
I am just waiting for the day that my english homework is to play TF2 at this point
Oh look, science that confirms what video game developers discovered years ago.
My husband is the healthiest man alive then 😂
Parents: Gaming isn't healthy!
Me: Shows them this video
Parents: …
Parents: Youtube isn't healthy!
But for real, we NEED full video about this! I would gladly delve in this topic much, much deeper…
Social skills? You mean learning of to cuss? Mw2 really helped me there.
Yay!
Even though I don't like games, I completely agree it really improves knowledge & skills on things at certain level.
What is this music?
Let me say this angry birds one was the best
Say whaaaaaaaaat
my parents always said gaming rots your brain
Please tell my mom🤭🤭🤭
