Modern life chains us to screens. Learn how to stay alert, protect your vision and posture while working at a computer, and take a step towards a healthy lifestyle.
A sedentary lifestyle affects more than just your posture. It's a complex threat to your body.
Dry eye syndrome, accommodation spasm and risk of myopia due to constant focusing and screen flicker.
Osteochondrosis, scoliosis, pinched nerves. Static load on the spine is 2 times higher than when standing.
Blood stagnation in the pelvis, varicose veins, increased risk of thrombosis and poor circulation.
Information overload, decreased concentration, anxiety and brain fog from multitasking.
Incorporate these simple habits into your day and your body will thank you.
Every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This relaxes the eye muscles.
Get up from your desk every hour for 2-3 minutes. Walk around, do some stretches, shake out your hands.
Swimming, yoga or pilates compensate for physical inactivity and strengthen your muscle core.
Top of monitor at eye level, chair with lumbar support, feet flat on the floor.
Keep a water bottle on your desk. Dehydration increases fatigue and reduces concentration.
Blue light from screens disrupts melatonin production. Don't use gadgets an hour before sleep.
