Maybe some videos on how to lessen the pain of certain injuries/sore muscles that gamers can get? Lower back pain, sore wrists/hands. That sort of stuff. I think that counts as health right? I will definitely incorporate health issues relating to gaming, and this is a very common problem in our society, not just to gamers - pain!

Just briefly, the pain gamers tend to get are “repetitive strain injuries” or back pain from bad posture. 
How to combat these issues are:
- improving posture when playing: sit with back upright and not twisted to one side
- acknowledging when pain is persisting and simply....rest! Stop playing and bloody just REST!
- if pain occurs frequently, then a health check is recommended (might be other concurrent health issues that can cause generalised aches).

What do you plan to do differently than the billion other health channels? What specifically are you going to do to drive traffic to your channel?

Before equipment or other needs, you need to determine a marketing strategy for your "brand" of channel.

Without a specific and deliberate strategy to market your brand and channel, you'll end up with 3 videos, 20 views, and a bunch of equipment listed on Facebook marketplace. The point of differences are: 
- passion to health promote rather than to use fancy, big ass words that people will forget the next hour after watching.
- I actually don’t intend on doing too much research as I want to focus on topics where I commonly encounter from my work/experience. Dealing with the common misconceptions, common health questions, and just issues which will hopefully and genuinely get the viewer more interested in about their health, and more importantly, to possibly expand on their life expectancy!
- I also perhaps might make it a half health and half gaming/collecting channel, which are actually my 2 main interests in life. But unsure if the general viewers would take the health talks seriously, if I dwell too much about games!  ]]>

If it's something you're passionate about, then I'm sure the videos will be great. Just don't plan on making any money. All channels that exist only for money all end up looking the same... and they don't even end up making money. Yep I agree, I’m seeing it as a hobby and not as a job. If it makes money, I won’t decline though!

I have plenty of possible themes to talk about, but here is one example of a theme to let you guys have more of an understanding:

Q: Why do I seem to catch the flu even though I had a flu vaccination??
A: 2 main reasons:
1. The flu vaccination contains only a few strains of the flu, with different strains being targetted each year, focusing on the predominant strains over the course of the past 12 months. Whereas the flu virus itself can come in many more types of strains. So what this means, is that you can still catch a non-dominant flu strain, whilst having immunity to only the recent dominant strains.
2. You experiencing the "flu" might in fact be something else that seems similar. eg sinusitis, chest infection, laryngitis etc
If in doubt, go seek medical advice! ]]>

^^ Similarly, how about something on health-related games? Wii fit type stuff, or discussing different food-based games


There are already countless videos on YouTube going through all these exercise games such as Wii Fit, and they mostly suck. No one cares about those games, and rightly so. On a sidenote: DDR is probably the best non-intentional exercise game ever made. ]]>
