Be Healthy
A healthy lifestyle can help you perform and enjoy your everyday activities,
including the time spent at your computer. Also, learning more about your
health is an important step in staying comfortable and productive while using
your computer.
To help maintain good health, try the following:
● Eat a balanced diet and get adequate rest.
● Exercise for overall fitness and to improve the strength and flexibility of your
body. Consult a qualified health professional to help you choose the stretches
and exercises that are right for you.
● Learn to manage stress. One way to reduce stress at work is to plan your work
area and schedule so that noise and distractions are kept to a minimum.
● See a qualified health professional if you have questions about how your
medical and physical conditions may be related to MSDs. While researchers
are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general
agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including
previous injuries, diabetes, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy), and
rheumatoid arthritis.
Conclusion
Learning more about working comfortably and productively, as well as your
overall health, are important ways to help you enjoy your computing experience.
