Warning signs of back pain

By
Know the warning signs of back pain caused by poor ergonomics and posture. Back pain may be the result of poor ergonomics and posture if the back pain is worse at certain times of day or week (such as after a long day of sitting in an office chair in front of a computer, but not during the weekends); pain that starts in the neck and moves downwards into the upper back, lower back and extremities; pain that goes away after switching positions while sitting or standing; sudden back pain that is experienced with a new job, a new office chair, or a new car; and/or back pain that comes and goes for months.

Get up and move. As muscles tire, slouching, slumping, and other poor postures become more likely; this in turn puts extra pressure on the neck and back. In order to maintain a relaxed yet supported posture, change positions frequently.
One way is to take a break from sitting in an office chair every half hour for two minutes in order to stretch, stand, or walk.

Blink for better Vision and healthier eyes

Blink for better Vision and healthier eyes : Blinking is an essential function of the eye that helps spread tears across and removes irritants such as dust and germs from the surface of the cornea and conjunctiva. Frequent and gentle blinking is essential for maintaining healthy eyes and optimal vision because it allows eyelids to keep eyes coated with beneficial layers of tears: Normally, a person blinks 12-15 times per minute. When we read, watch TV or look at the computer screen we blink up to 60% less. Infrequent blinking may cause eye strain, fatigue and even some unpleasant dry eye symptoms.
