Good posture habits while computing

By

Besides getting regular exercise and trying to eat as healthfully as you can, you need to monitor your posture, especially at the computer and when you study. Here are a few tips to follow:


  • Fill in the space between your back and the back of the chair : When sitting in a chair, sit straight so that the space between your lower back and the chair is no longer existent.
  • Keep your neck, back and heels aligned : If you draw an imaginary vertical line down your back, your neck and heels should hit in the same spot, too.
  • Keep your feet flat on the floor : Make sure you keep your feet flat on the floor when you're sitting at your  desk.
  •  Keep your knees at a 90-degree angle when sitting : Remember to keep everything aligned. Don't tuck  your   knees in, which can make you start to hover and hunch over your keyboard.
  •  Draw your shoulders back and relax : Draw your right shoulder, then your left shoulder back and then  down,and then take a deep breath and relax. After working for several minutes, monitor the position of  your shoulders, and make sure you're not hunched over.
  • Evenly distribute your weight :You shouldn't lean over to one side when you sit, you should distribute your body weight evenly between both hips.

Soft drinks and dental health: The phosphoric acid in carbonated soft drinks can interfere with calcium absorption and weaken teeth. Although phosphoric acid adds a tangy flavor to carbonated beverages, over time it can soften and erode tooth enamel, according to the Academy of General Dentistry. Your saliva helps neutralize acidity, allowing tooth enamel to re-harden, but drinking carbonated drinks regularly may not give the enamel enough time to re-harden. Once the enamel is gone, the inner tooth can be damaged. Foods and beverages with a pH value below 4 can cause tooth erosion. Most of the carbonated soft drinks are having a pH value of less than 4.
