Is playing PC games 4 to 5 hours daily bad for my health?

Please i want an answer to this question because my little brother will play games continuously for 3 to 5 hours a day and after finishing the games he will download another game and then play it.

So what to do? Is there anyway we can stop him from playing games for more than an hour?

Well, I would find someone in authority (his parent or guardian) and have them lay down rules for your brother if they're needed. They can decide how much time he's allowed to spend playing games.As far as implementing these restrictions, most consoles now have some sort of parental controls. On Xbox, you could limit the time allowed to play for his account. On Playstation, you could make starting a game require a password that he doesn't know. On a computer, if he's installing/playing games on his own, use Windows' parental controls.It would help if you would be a bit more specific - "playing games" is very broad. But I hope these help!
