Why it is so important to work correctly at the computer, what influence on health is rendered by the wrong organization of a workplace? Work at the computer for the person was and remains extremely strong irritant. For many long years evolution the person until quite recently didn’t meet such aggressive factor of environment. I will dare to express the basic sources of aggression:
should
Enormous volume of the information for a brain. And this information should not only be remembered but also be analyzed every second.
Further, after the information analysis our gray substance should make any decision and transfer action for hands (management of the keyboard and a mouse during game at the computer), for the brain (decision-making at work with own site, business and etc.).
How to struggle with it?
Very simply – do each hour a break for 15 minutes. Look in a window, admire the nature, drink tea or coffee, smoke a cigaret, eventually (harm to health from smoking is already another story altogether).
Long stay in the same position for a trunk – for anybody is not a secret that children can sit in front of the computer a lot of hours.
If the backbone spends long time without a support bends are bent. All heard about such disease as a scoliosis – a lateral curvature of a backbone.
The main danger of a scoliosis consists not only and not so much in appearance infringement. Bearing infringements, various curvatures of a backbone lead to “infringements” of nerves which leave the vertebral channel. And infringements of nerves can result, and result, to long back pains, hypertensive illness, an ischemic heart trouble, to an impotence (at men) and frigidity (at women) eventually!!!
In order to prevent all these horrors it is necessary to choose to yourself special so-called ergonomic (orthopedic) armchairs for work. The basic difference of an ergonomic armchair is presence of the special reference points precisely corresponding to physiological bends of a backbone.
Long watching in the monitor screen.
The main source of aggression thus is drying of a cornea of an eye. At work at the computer our eyes blink in 6 times less often than in usual conditions. The basic function of blinking consists in humidifying of a cornea by a plaintive liquid. It is natural that at rare blinking the cornea becomes dry – and it is the basic damaging factor for an organ of vision and can lead to steady short-sightedness.
What to undertake?
Do special exercises for eyes. Turn away from the monitor, lift eyes up, from top to bottom, move eyes, “violently” blink. The more often you will make these exercises the more healthy will be your eyes.
And here after sufficient motivation I want to offer the answer to a question “How to organize correctly the working hours at work at the computer“?
Do each hour 15-minute breaks at work at the computer.
It will provide to your brain small rest that will allow to keep resources of a brain for the further work.
For work at once choose to yourself ergonomic (orthopedic) armchairs.
The height of a seat of an armchair should be such that the hands put on the keyboard have been located horizontally. The armchair necessarily should have armrests and a headrest.
The monitor (its top level) should be located hardly below level of eyes, the bottom part of the monitor should be inclined at a small angle to working place (it is located more close). It provides an optimum level of an inclination of a visual axis that will lead to smaller weariness of eyes.
These are, from my point of view, absolutely simple rules, following which is possible to secure yourself against a work adverse effect at the computer and to keep health for many long years.
In end of article I want to repeat once again that the sufficient motivation to performance of simple actions on safe work at the computer will lead to understanding of necessity of these actions.
Computers are an inalienable part of our life. PCs are used not only for business purposes but for entertainment as well. There are so many computer games today – motorcycle games, RPG games, shooters, etc. But if you would like to play a game just to spend some time and you are not fond of gaming or you want to save money, take advantage of free games. Moreover you can search for games online, for example free online racing games. In this way you even don’t need to go somewhere – the Internet can offer you many things you might need.
