How the Body Declines with Gambling
Mental sharpness and gambling--it's something gamblers ought to consider if they really want to win. What are gambling's effect on mental health? Well, check it out. Now.
Here are some tests to check if your gambling wits are still sharp. Sharpness ratings are expressed in age brackets.
Test one. With hands on hips, stand up, putting the body weight on the left foot while the right leg is lifted. Close the eyes and see how long balance is maintained.
Sharpness rating (balance): Able to balance for 70 seconds, sharpness is at age 20; 60 seconds, at 30; 50 seconds, at 40; 40, at 50; 30, at 60; 20, at 70; below 20, at 80.
If performance is dismal, start meditative calisthenics early in the morning in a quiet place. Do lots of standing up on one leg as the eyes are closed.
Test two. Have someone hold a ruler some 45 cm. above the thumb and forefinger to be used in catching it. Have the person drop the ruler at random. Try to catch it and measure how far it falls before the catching.
Sharpness rating (reflex): Below 15 cm, age is in the 20s; 15cm, 30s; 25 cm, 40s; 30 cm, 50s; above 40 cm, 60s.
If performance is bad, start to take time off from gambling and try some responsive sports like tennis, table tennis, badminton, and even jack stones.
Test three. Pinch or fold the skin at the back of the hand, as much as possible. Then release it and see how long before it settles back flat on the hand. Too much gambling stress as you lay physically dormant in gambling sags the skin especially on obvious parts.
Skin rating: Below one second, age is in the 20s; 5 seconds, 50s; 11 seconds 60s; 33 seconds, 70s; 46 and above, 80s.
If the wrinkles won't settle quickly enough, take lots of carrot juice.
Test four. If the eye cornea has a white arc around it, that's indication of fat deposits gathering more than necessary somewhere in the body. The longer the arc the more alarming, especially in middle age.
For the white arc, cut down on fatty foods and consult a doctor and nutritionist.
Test five. From 100, count backwards in increments of 7. For instance, 100, 93, 86, etc. If aged 40 or under, it should take 20 seconds; 40 up below 25 seconds. Daily exposed to numbers, gamblers ought to do well here.
Then, within a minute think of as many fruits and vegetables as possible. Under age 60, it should at least count to 15 items.
If test five seems insurmountable, start taking a different view of numbers - aside from being figures for betting. Try solving Math problems.
Gambling dormancy risk health, especially their mental acuity.
Monitoring is essential here. To some extent, losing sharpness or ageing can be controlled, depending on the choice of lifestyle. So remember - there's more to life than winning bets. Win them with sure health.
