The internet has made the game even more popular as players from all over the world can interact and play against each other online. Millions of people play bingo everyday and a good number of them are addicted to this game. Many people stay online up to 7 hours playing bingo. This can be dangerous and can expose players to a number of health risks. The following tips will help you to stay healthy even if you are a bingo addict:

1. Check your computer LCD monitor. Ensure it is set on high resolution and has a good graphics card. If you feel pain when looking at your monitors after a long time, you should get a new one.
2. Ensure your computer has a higher refresh rate. This will prevent your eyes from getting stressed. The refresh rate refers to the frequency at which the computer redraws the information on the monitor. The default refresh rate on Windows is 60Hz per second. If this still strains your eyes, you can reset it to a higher value.
3. Get a decent, strong, computer chair, especially if you spend a lot of time playing. A bad chair can strain your back, muscles and nerves. A recommended chair would be a swivel that can be adjusted in height.
4. Check you sitting position. Avoid a 90-degree upward position as this can add stress to your back and neck. The best position is at about 120 degrees were your muscles are not strained. Keep the monitors at more than an arm's length and your elbow angle more than 90 degrees.
5. When you are tires, get up and walk around. Take a rest every 1 to 2 hours. A five minute break will do you much good as it will rejuvenate your body. When you are playing, remember to blink often and moisten your eyes. Also, take some time and look far away to reduce the strain on the pupils.

Bingo is not a bad game. The only issue is that it can take a toll on your health when you become addicted. The above tips will help you enjoy the game and also stay healthy. Ensure you take regular breaks from the computer to avoid straining your eyes, back, neck and other muscles.
