In today’s developed mobile Internet, the IT industry is very high, because IT practitioners have created countless conveniences and fun for people.
However, many people have paid the price of health behind their success. Long-term use of computers, overtime and staying up late, lack of exercise, etc., have led some IT practitioners to suffer from long-term illness.
Now you can refer to the following major occupational diseases. Have you been shot?
Dry eye
Performance:
Under normal circumstances, people blink about 20 times a minute. When using computers, they often pay too much attention. The reduction of blinks per minute will easily lead to dry eye.
The most common symptoms of dry eye are eye fatigue, foreign body sensation and dryness. Other symptoms include burning sensation, eye swelling sensation, eye pain, photophobia, red eye, etc.
Response:
-
Keep a distance of about 63cm from the screen and adjust the screen to a slightly overlooking position.
-
Give the computer a casual post, such as [blinking electric eyes] to remind yourself to blink;
-
Rule 20-20-20: Look up 20 feet (about 6 meters) every 20 minutes for at least 20 seconds;
-
When the eyes are dry, you can moisten the eyes with some artificial tears.
Mouse hand, keyboard hand
Performance:
Long-term use of keyboard, mouse and other equipment, wrist, fingers excessive activity, or long-term posture is not correct can cause wrist pain. Repeated friction, friction, tendon sheath will appear bleeding, edema, exudation and other aseptic inflammation, will also involve the median nerve, so hand numbness, pain, weakness symptoms will appear.
Response:
You can first try to make a rest plan for your fingers and wrists:
-
Every 30 minutes of using the computer, let your fingers and wrists rest for 2-3 minutes.
-
Often shake your hands and move your wrists to relax the muscles of your wrists and fingers.
-
Change the keyboard with ergonomic design;
-
Operate the mouse with the other hand (it seems a little difficult).
Neck and shoulder pain
Performance:
Sitting at the desk in front of the computer all day long, the neck activity is reduced, the head is often lowered, and the same posture is maintained for too long, resulting in neck and shoulder muscle and bone pain.
Response:
-
Do stretching actions: extend the neck forward or backward, rotate the head left and right, and swing the head left and right to make the earlobe contact with the shoulder;
-
Regular activities: Get up and walk every once in a while. You can make a cup of coffee or wash your face.
-
Change posture: Adjust posture every 20 minutes before working.
Low back pain
Performance:
The most common thing that happens when you use a computer for a long time is that you will consciously control yourself at first and keep a relatively correct sitting position. Over time, hunchback gradually appears, with your head stretched forward a little bit, sometimes accompanied by shrugs and chest movements.
Inappropriate posture of hunchback leads to low back pain for sedentary people.
Response:
-
Regular activities, relax muscles, do a stretch of the waist and back;
-
Adhere to exercise and strengthen waist and back muscles;
-
Understand and maintain the correct sitting position.
Hold urine kidney
Performance:
Sit for several hours in a row to type code, change the plan… and so on. When the work is busy, the matter of Lasa has to be put aside for a while, and then hold back in a hurry to go to the toilet. In fact, holding urine is very irritating to the bladder, and urine stays in the body for too long, the incidence of urinary calculi will also increase.
Response:
Don’t hold your urine, don’t hold your urine, don’t hold your urine.
In addition to holding back urine, some people will hold back their stool, which is easy to induce constipation.
If you sleep little, you will not sleep well.
Performance:
Residence, overtime, coffee, lack of exercise, high pressure, fatigue and so on have almost become the labels of IT people. Coupled with irregular lifestyle, sleep problems are more likely to occur, resulting in many people [sleeping less] and [sleeping poorly].
Response:
-
Develop regular sleep habits. For example, take a hot bath before going to bed every day, fully relax your body and mind, and sleep at a fixed time.
-
To ensure sleep quality, there is no need to worry too much about sleep duration.
-
Take the initiative to rest, such as taking a lunch break every day, and taking a nap when you are especially tired is also good.
Special reminder, please ensure that your bed is only a place to sleep, and do not eat, watch TV, work on the computer, etc.
Keeping the bedroom quiet and comfortable is also helpful for sleep.
