Is playing chess all day unhealthy?

Against a computer (any level)Is playing chess all day unhealthy?
Hello;



I love chess --



I am sure it is possible to play too much! To be really good at it, one has to be healthy physically as well as mentally (I think that chess is an argument against the Mind/Body duality theory). A bit of exercise would take time away from your chess play -- but it will help you play better.



As you get older the brain looses some of its capacity -- increased blood flow through exercise will help the brain to remain healthy.



The bottom line is that inactivity is unhealthy -- I am finding that the hard way! If I had it all to do over again I would augment my chess studies with an exercise program.

Well it is suggested to get at least 20 minutes of exercise a day. But if you'd rather play chess than have a healthy body go for it dude!Is playing chess all day unhealthy?

Doing ANYTHING all day isn't necessarily a good thing, but as Mark suggested, there are a LOT of worse things you could do besides play chess.
