Many people find their lives becoming difficult and awkward if they do not browse the Internet, post on Facebook or Twitter, at least once in a day. Some people express their addiction by saying 'Life is a boredom without the daily reading-email, chatting with the online friends.' In fact, these people might not even recognize such friends if they chance to come face to face. Youth and school kids form the major chunk of the computer addicts. The productivity and education standards are sure to suffer from this modern disease of computer mania.
The level of the computer craze is growing day-by-day, and this causes serious concerns to the governments and welfare seekers. Health issues like stiff wrist and elbow, fatigue, stress, back pain, loss of eyesight, etc... are reported by the computer users.
The 10 methods given below would relieve your strain, and enable your comfort level and general wellness.
1. Correct Posture: Always use an armchair for your computer and place your computer screen as at arm's distance, but twenty degrees below your eye level. This will avoid the pain and strain to your eyes and body.
2. Proper lighting: Keep the source of light in your room behind, and above the computer. Do not keep the same on the side walls as it distracts your attention and strains your eyes by reflections.
3. Avoid glare and radiation: Install the LCD screens instead of the outdated CRT systems for low levels of glare and radiation. You can wear plain and zero power spectacles to avoid the heat and glare of the system.
4. Turn off at a regular interval: This will refresh your eyes from the heat and radiation. Green-colored room walls or wallpapers pasted on the walls will add freshness when you turn away from the computer.
5. Blink often: Don't keep your eyes glued to the computer screen for a long time, but close and open them regularly.
6. Stretch and Rub: Stretch out your arms at frequent intervals and keep rubbing your palms for at least 30 seconds each time.
7. Facial exercise: Between computer sessions, take a break for munching snacks, fruits and nuts. This gives relief to your stiff head and energizes your system.
8. Massage and wash: Every four hours, rinse your eyes with cool and clean water. Massage them while wiping off the moisture with a towel or napkin.
9. Keep moving regularly: Walk and move away from your seat for chatting with colleagues in the office. You can also enjoy a cup of tea, coffee, or water.
10. Take Rest: Every one hour, close your eyes, and inhale and exhale with a long gap between them. Get respite in this way at least for 30 seconds. When you feel fatigued, opt for a nap compulsorily and immediately.
Certainly, the wholesome benefits of these 10 tips can be felt when you make them as your habits.
