I don't know about the rest, but I will say that Qigong is a legit workout. You wouldn't think it is with how slow and fluid the movements are, but after 15 minutes I was actually shaking from the muscle strain.

As a health coach who works gamers, I wanted to share some Traditional Chinese Medicine principles for gamers.

Morning Ginger Tea Protocol - Start every gaming session with fresh ginger tea. Boosts metabolism by 10-12% and improves insulin sensitivity. Critical when you're sitting for 8+ hours.

Visual Portion Control - Use smaller bowls and plates for ALL meals. This tricks your satiety hormones and reduces caloric intake by 20-30% without feeling deprived.

Daily 15-Min Qigong - Ancient movement that targets the core and improves posture. Do it between gaming sessions - your back will thank you.

Post-Meal Pu-erh Tea - Drink this after your largest meals. Studies show it blocks dietary fat absorption and improves lipid metabolism. Essential if you're ordering takeout regularly.

Add Bitter Foods Daily - Bitter melon, arugula, dandelion greens. These stimulate bile production = better fat digestion.

The 100-Step Rule - After every meal, walk around your house/apartment for 100 steps minimum. Prevents blood sugar spikes and keeps metabolism active.

Warm Foods Only - Stop drinking ice-cold everything. Room temperature or warm foods/drinks optimize digestive enzyme function. Better digestion = better nutrient absorption = less cravings.

These methods work synergistically with the gaming lifestyle.

There is a terrible trend in which people can now declare themselves a "online health bullshidder" with absolutely nothing to back it up and do great harm to other people just because they like playing with a phone.

No. OP. You are not a licensed/insured professional trainer. No professional would post this rubbish. Furthermore, a true professional would never post specifics- for that, one charges a white collar professional rate- at least in the hundreds of dollars per hour. At least!

No. You have described yourself as a link DHJ- but this time your copy and paste routine is risking harm to others. Take it down if you are even a slightly decent person.

Another reason to know that you are not a professional is that a true professional had enough to lose to fear lawsuits. Yes, the insurance company might pay out once or twice- but if they determine that one is deliberately acting irresponsibly- well... have fun living in the sewer!

OP: I have gotten on you in the past about needing to stop posting and get a job- and backed off for a while. This kind of potentially dangerous post is proof that you either are reckless or a kid getting his bills payed by mommy.

Either way, it's just wrong. Stop it!
