The computer world can cause physical stress
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Sitting for hours in front of a computer can cause physical problems that can be avoided by following some simple procedures, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's recent Health Tip article.
Sitting in front of a computer for a prolonged period can take its toll on your body.
* Get up every half hour and do some gentle stretches.
* Keep your feet flat on the floor or consider using a foot rest.
* Don't let your hands hover over the keyboard.
This creates excess tension in your hands and arms.
Use the 20-20-20 rule: blink 20 times, and stare 20 feet away from the screen every 20 minutes.
* Avoid movements that put your neck in an awkward position.
