Health Food for the Gaming Body

By Rob Sutter


Gaming done for elongated time periods often has certain foods that are brought to the table. Chips, soda, energy drinks, and things of the sort can be associated with this hobby that can be done for copious amounts of hours. After gaming for so long, though, just how good can those products be on one's body. It may seem like a stretch for some, but healthy food can be used in place of the cookies, rendering this less-active hobby beneficial to a degree.

One of the snacks that I enjoy having during gaming are crackers. These, to me, are perfect in lieu of cookies and since I'm not too heavily into sweets as I once was, I don't feel like I'm missing too much. Also, I've noticed that with certain chips that leave dust behind on the fingers, it's a bit tougher to hold onto a controller. One wrong move and my entire session has been all for naught. In many ways, these chips have helped me in the way of reaching a new level.

I may not be the biggest fan of it, but I can see the appeal in beef jerky too. I see the convenience behind this particular snack food and it's good that it has a level of protein to grant gamers, as well as other people, energy. I would happily allow my friend to eat that while they're playing alongside me as opposed to something fried or processed. It's an instance of the difficulty hands have of holding onto a controller and too many a time have I taken hold of a controller only for it to slide away due to the sweat on it.

Gamers may possess greater appetites than anything snacks could grant and fuller meals featuring healthy food help on the matter. Meals featuring a low number of calories can be made and Quorn has taken the steps to creating some of their own. These companies have shown that not only are these meals healthful and tasty but they can be prepared rather quickly. Between preparation and cooking time, you may find that only less than an hour has passed, allowing you to return to gameplay.

Gaming may be a hobby where you sit down constantly but it doesn't have to necessarily be awful for you. While it may be in your best interest to exercise at a more regular pace, having less damaging foods at your disposal may not render gaming so bad. Sometimes it's best to take a break from the sweets in order to incorporate more substantial products. Even a hobby like this can be beneficial to your life if you want it to be.
