People who play video games regularly are able to react quicker and more accurately in real-life situations. WebMD reports that, “Researchers say they found that avid players get faster in their games of choice, and also in unrelated laboratory tests of reaction time.”

The study’s results contradict what was previously thought about video gamers, which was that players lose accuracy as their playing speed increases. WebMD also stated that the study shows  “training with video games may serve to reduce gender differences in visual and spatial processing and thwart some of the cognitive declines that come with aging.”

Talk to a doctor near you about how else video games can affect your life or body.
