a friend of mine told me that too much exposure on computer can cause weight gain..is this true?

Answer 1

The computer does not give you any calories that could lead to weight gain. However, if you sit around at the computer or anything else and reduce your activity level so that you burn fewer calories, then you could gain weight. Such gain has nothing directly to do with the computer; you could just as well spend the same amount of time sitting in front of a mirror and get similar results.

Answer 2

The computer itself will not cause weight gain. It is the inactivity that will cause weight gain. I, on the other hand find it helps me to lose weight since I do not eat by the computer. With my mind occupied, I don't have my usual snacks so I end up losing weight.

Answer 3

if you spend too much time sitting in front of the computer and not doing anything else then definately sure you will gain a lot of weight!

Answer 4

A lot of people snack while on the computer.
If you're just sitting a lot,and maybe snacking more,of course you would gain weight.

Answer 5

waht planet is your friend from?
I think what she means is, your sitting so long and not getting enough exorcise. You could try deep breathing exorcies while sitting at you computer. Oxygen intake will hepl you lose weight.

Under tools, options, select delete cookies. I'm not sure that would speed up your computer though. Search on the web for advice.
