Daily long work at the computer can negatively affect human health. Constant stay in one position and eye strain leads to the fact that at the end of the working day there is a feeling of severe fatigue.
Instructions
Step 1
Position the computer correctly. Do not shine direct sunlight on the monitor or in your eyes. It is better to make the light in the room slightly dim, but it is also harmful to work in the dark, otherwise the eyes will get tired from the bright monitor. A lamp located on the side of the computer will be a good help.
Step 2
Sit upright. Your eyes should rest in the middle of the monitor, and the distance between them should be at least 60 cm. Place the keyboard and mouse so that when you work, your wrists lie on the table and not hang in the air, which is fraught with such an unpleasant disease as a pinched carpal nerve channel. Put your feet straight and in no case throw them on top of each other. If you find it uncomfortable to sit in a straight chair, change it.
Step 3
First of all, eyes get tired of this technique. The lower the resolution of the monitor, the greater the burden on vision. If possible, get yourself a high-resolution monitor and make the image brightness as low as possible. Computers with special coatings to reduce eye exposure are also available today.
Step 4
Take breaks from work. To minimize harmful computer exposure, take your eyes off the monitor every hour and give them rest. Sit for 5 minutes with your eyes closed in a relaxed state. And then do a special exercise for the eyes: slowly squint your eyes to the right, left, up and down, make them in a circular motion.
Step 5
Get up from behind your computer as often as possible. It is advisable to do this every hour. Walk around the office, stretch slowly, do a couple of squats, torso twists and stand on your toes several times. This will improve blood flow in the body and prevent varicose veins.
Step 6
Ventilate the room. Working computer equipment emits an electromagnetic field, which contributes to the deposition of fine dust particles on exposed skin and hair. This can lead to dryness and irritation. To avoid this, start your day by wet cleaning your work area and open a window every two hours, especially if there are multiple computers in the room.
