Always my mother used to say me not to play games as they are harmful for health and cause eye strain so do they really damage our health??

To much time in front of Computer, not just playing games, can hurt our Health. Pain in back, increasing weight, eye strain. Games should be considered as fun and relax from job, nothing serious and they should not be played to much.

depends on your lifestyle. If you exercise one hour a day, eats the right diet, You can game all day long with no problems. Oh you need to rest your hands and eyes once, in a while

I think they are good for health. They relax me and earn me money.
So they are very good for me.

Sitting in one place for extended period of time can become unhealthy. Too much video games to a point where you neglect everything else is not good. It can lead to headaches, eye strain, and staring at the screen for so long can lead to your sight loss too. So, video games like everything else can be injurious if we do it without moderation.

The keyword here is moderation..spending an extended period of time in from of the TV or computer screen can strain your eyes,sitting in one position for a long time can cause back ache..I guess this are some of the things your mum was guiding against

My son asks for one minute or few minutes if he is free and after finishing his homework, I am okay with it provided he is not addicted.
But, not for few hours long.

Yes, when you overdo it, it will cause problems from affecting your eyesight to depression as you will not be growing mentally if you are always on your phone.

If you take breaks - stand up, stretch, drink water - and that you don't play for hours and hours straight, you 'll be fine I think. Gaming is fun but do it excessively then it is just plain harmful.

Playing games is not bad for health, staying long in front of screen is bad.

If you meant, video games then she was right but if the games you play are outdoors then you know the answer. Outdoor games make you stronger in every sense.

Such games such as chess, puzzle game are actually good . it increases one reasoning ability. Though excessive gaming is bad

def keep your brain nimble but too make gaming can result in addiction, and it's also pointless- you could put the same energy into studying something and it could be beneficial for your future. Gaming is a fun pastime, and a means to be sociable for many people, but ultimately it's just you staring at a screen for hours on end, wasting your life.

If playing games was bad for your health, all of my children would be ill.

[rakski]

If you are going to play games all throughout the day, then it can be bad for health. Some people who plays game will just stand up when they need to go to the toilet.

[rakski]

not all games are bad for health.

[memez4savages]

Like everything in this planet, too much is always bad. You have to find a good balance of gaming and exercising. Too much gaming has proven to cause a drop in testosteron, which causes depression and bad mental health.
