What causes long work in front of the monitor

In our time, it is simply impossible to imagine life without a computer. But spending too much time with him is not at all safe. And we are not even talking about the burden on the eyesight (everything is understandable here), but other vital organs also suffer. About what leads to a long work in front of the monitor and how to avoid problems, and will be discussed below.

If you are sitting at a computer with raised shoulders, your head is lowered forward or sideways - you are sure to begin to feel tension in the neck and the occipital part of the head. This causes stagnation in the system of the spinal arteries and leads to a disruption of the normal flow of blood to the brain. The result is frequent headaches, faster fatigue, memory loss, increased blood pressure, heart pain and arrhythmia.

If you sit for a long time, leaning on one hand, holding one shoulder below the other and hunched forward, you can get regular pain in the heart, progressive osteochondrosis and sciatica. Long-term work in the office without changing the position of the body is the main cause of such diseases.

If the remoteness of the keyboard is too large or too high, it increases the risk of getting an osteochondrosis of the hand. It is also called "clicker syndrome". The disease is very difficult to treat, and in some cases leads to disability.

What to do?

If the work in front of the monitor takes your entire day, then you just need to get used to follow two basic rules:

- change the position of the body more often

- provide muscular activity

Place a mirror next to your workplace, and check every 10-15 minutes to see if you hold your back correctly. In the process of long-term work, we can easily forget that we need to straighten up. Also watch your sensations - whether your spine is straining, whether you feel tired in your hands. Move your chair, adjust your posture, slip your fingers, lift your shoulders. Thus, the influx of blood in the cerebrospinal artery is activated, the nerve nodes located in the occipital part of the head will be stimulated, you will give rest to the spine and remove the muscle tension.

As for harmful radiation

Quite frankly, the impact of radiation from a computer is still an open question. There are still many unclear and inaccurate points in connection with this. There are a number of certain sanitary and hygienic standards that read: "The dose rate of x-rays at each point at a distance of 0.05 m from the source should correspond to an equivalent dose of 100 micro-roentgen per hour." What does it mean? If you work in a small room, and behind you there is another computer, do not forget about your safety. At least let between you will be a distance of 1, 5 to 2 meters. In particular, this applies to children.

The general rule of radiology: mainly from radiation, tissues suffer in which the cells multiply faster. These are adult sex cells and small intestine cells! So take the trouble that the distance from you to the nearby computer is not less than 1, 6 to 1, 8 m.

How to reduce exposure to radiation

Take every day enough vitamin C, which helps reduce the impact of radiation. Eat more cheese and dairy products, since amino acids bind radiation and help to avoid the harmful effects of free radicals.

Move more - get up from behind your computer, take a few deep breaths. This exercise activates the recovery processes and will help to free the body of toxins.
A child aged 10-12 years in any case can not be held in front of the monitor more than 1, 5 hours a day.

Non-ionizing radiation consists of an electromagnetic and electrostatic field. There are special rules that regulate tension and these fields, but, unfortunately, their influence on the body has not been studied. Only one thing is certain - with the arrhythmia of the heart, electric fields almost certainly contribute to the development of the disease. And this is not all that leads to work at the computer.
