In modern times now, the workers spent more
time behind a desk. According to
data from the Urban Institute,
the number of jobs that require
physical activity has indeed been
bekurang 10 percent in 1950. Sitting for hours behind a desk is
not without risk. Health problems
such as back pain, eye fatigue,
to sleep disorders can result
from lack of movement plus
lifestyle work environment full of stress. What are the health risks
that lurk "the office?" 1. Carpal tunnel syndrome This syndrome is a symptom of
the pain, tingling, and numbness
in your fingers. These disorders
can arise due to repetitive
mechanical stress and rhythmic,
like typing. To prevent this, do light stretching to loosen the
tension on the wrist. After
typing, rest your hands since.
Consult your doctor if symptoms
felt quite disturbing. 2. Lower back pain Sitting for long hours, especially
with the wrong posture or an
ergonomic chair, can be bad for
your spine. According to one
study, back pain is the main
reason our employees to be absent from work. Correct
sitting posture is to sit by
dividing the weight of the body
so that not only rests on the
waist. In addition to notice when sitting
posture, regular exercise,
including activities tummy tuck
can reduce pain in the lower
back. Also, avoid sitting with the
conditions of the wallet is too full because it can cause pressure
on nerves in the pelvis. 3. Problems with the joints The human body was created to
move and stay in one position a
long time can make the joints
tight. Therefore, regularly stand
up and take a walk in between
work time. 4. Tired eyes Staring at a computer screen
too long can make the vision
impaired and sensitive eyes.
According to the Mayo Clinic,
symptoms such as dry eye,
watering, headaches, or neck pain, could be categorized as
symptoms of eye fatigue
(eyestrain). To prevent this,
enlarging the font size on a
computer screen so you do not
need too often blinking. Also, reduce the exposure of a
computer screen and rest your
eyes periodically by looking the
other way. 5. Bacteria Work desk, in terms of bacterial
content, it turns more and more
dirty than a toilet. "The bacteria
gather at the table because
usually people do many things in
there, ranging from food and storing objects, but rarely clean
it," said University of Arizona
microbiologist, Dr. Charles Gerba.
You can reduce the number of
bacteria by routine cleaning
tables with antibacterial wipes and liquid each day. 6. Stressful situations One in six workers in the U.S.
said, feeling annoyed and angry
at the office can cause adverse
effects. Approximately 2-3
percent said they had never
slapped or hit her coworkers. In addition, 22 percent of workers
claimed to have wept from a
sense of stress in the workplace. Pressure or small stressors can
be controlled by way of a deep
breath and relaxation techniques
that can be done while seated.
Or, take time to stroll in the
park and elsewhere to divert attention for a moment. Conflicts
with coworkers can be overcome
with the help of third party
mediation so as not to
accumulate and cause
unexpected actions.
