Working with holistic nutrition.. | Posted on
Now that technology has invaded our lives in all manners, we all are almost handicapped without technology and computers. A large part of work force today, works in front of computers and laptops for 9-12 hours. And our eyes are not the only body part that suffer due to this.
Scientists and doctors advise to spend not more than 3-4 hours in front of computers but no one actually heeds to such advises. This leads to a lot of diseases like:
Pulmonary Embolism: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism).
Diabetes: Women are more prone to this disease if they spend long hours in front of computer. It’s a problem of a lifetime.
Increasing Fat: Most of us suffer from fatness and big bellies. It also gives rise to obesity and lethargy.
Depression, anxiety, and mood swings: Keep looking at computer screen and you will catch a headache. Computer also gives rise to depression, anxiety, and other mental conditions in various indirect ways. Before we realize, we are in the grip of such diseases.
Blood Pressure: Either an increase or a decrease in blood pressure can occur due to sitting in front of computer for long.
