Health tips for office workers 4
Office workers often spend eight hours a day in the office. These office workers need to make the office environment healthy. In addition, separate efforts are needed to take care of health. Here are four ways to maintain health in the office.
1. To stop Turtle Neck Syndrome
If you look down at the monitor for a long time, your neck may bend forward like a turtle. Turtle Neck Syndrome is a symptom in which the alignment of the neck changes to a straight shape as the muscles around the neck harden.
The normal neck is a concave C-shape, while the turtle neck is straightened and does not distribute the weight of the head. The neck becomes stiff and neck and shoulder pain and severe symptoms such as migraine and dizziness may occur.
Professor Jin-man Jeon of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Kyunghee University Hospital, said, “It is good to keep the monitor high to match the eye level.” When the waist and chest are straightened, the neck is naturally maintained in a C-shape. I have to straighten my chest.”
2. To prevent dry eye syndrome
Dry eye syndrome is a disease in which tears are not properly formed due to a decrease in the function of the tear glands. Office workers have a lot of time to stay indoors, and the moisture in the air evaporates due to heating, and dry eye syndrome is likely to occur.
Clean indoor air is essential for eye health. Indoor temperature is 18~22 degrees, humidity is over 60% and it is good to drink water at any time. Artificial tears can also help.
Professor Kim Eung-suk of the department of ophthalmology at Kyunghee University Hospital said, “Temporary dry eye syndrome can be improved by improving lifestyle and artificial tears.” However, artificial tears are not a fundamental solution, so if dry eye syndrome is severe, you must visit an eye doctor for examination.” .
3. To keep your wrist healthy
Wrists with a lot of computer work should watch their wrists. If you use the mouse for a long time, your wrist will be jerky and painful. Once a pain occurs, recovery is not easy.
Proper rest can help with wrist health and concentration. "When using a mouse, you should keep your hands and wrists straight and reduce the burden using cushions or wrist guards," said Baek Jong-hoon, professor of orthopedic surgery at Kyunghee University Hospital.
4. To prevent varicose veins
Most office workers spend more than 8 hours a day sitting on chairs. If you stay in one position for a long time, there is a problem with blood circulation.
If blood circulation is not smooth, visible symptoms begin to appear, and one of the most problematic areas is the varicose veins on the legs. In the varicose veins, the vein of the calf is abnormally serpentine and protrudes outward.
Even if you walk a little, your legs hurt and become tired. If left unchanged, the skin turns black because blood clots form in varicose veins and red blood cells that have escaped from the capillary walls make the skin black.
