Prevention and treatment strategies for six common computer diseases

Computers have become a necessity in life, work, and entertainment. We enjoy the convenience that computers bring us, but computers also bring hidden dangers to our health, such as cervical spondylosis, dry eyes, mouse hand, etc. We collectively call them "computer diseases." So how can we improve computer diseases? Below we will introduce to you some methods to improve computer diseases.

Computer disease 1: cervical spondylosis

Cause of the disease: If you hold your arms high and lower your head when using a computer, you will feel sore back and numbness in your shoulders after working for an hour.

Relief method: Keep the cervical spine warm in the air-conditioned room. The pillow should be slightly low and the computer desk should not be higher than 70 cm. Do cervical exercises twice a day.

Computer disease 2: dry eyes

Cause of the disease: Staring at the computer for 8 hours without blinking, and continuing to play online games when you get home, causing sore and dry eyes, which eventually leads to dry eye syndrome.

Solution: Adjust the screen brightness to an appropriate level. When working, the brightness of the room should be the same as the brightness of the screen. The eyes should be at least 70 cm away from the monitor. In addition, artificial tears are mainly used to treat dry eyes. If the tear flow test and tear film are stable, it is recommended not to use eye drops frequently, because most eye drops contain preservatives and long-term use can cause damage to the conjunctiva and cornea.

Computer disease 3: electromagnetic radiation hazards

Cause of disease: The monitor heats up too high and generates a lot of electromagnetic radiation when working. It will ionize the air, continuously generate positive charges (positive ions), and continuously neutralize them with negative ions in the air, resulting in almost zero negative ion content. Long-term exposure to an environment with too many positive ions can cause insomnia, decreased immunity, and endocrine disorders in women.

Mitigation method: Clean the office environment carefully. Don't point the back of your monitor toward the back of your colleague's head or the side of his or her body. Drink green tea often and wash your face frequently. Placing a pot of plants or water under the computer desk can absorb the electromagnetic waves emitted by the computer. Use an LCD monitor whenever possible.

Computer disease 4: Skin allergies

Cause of disease: When the monitor is turned on, an electrostatic field will be formed around it, which will almost suck the dust suspended in the air in the entire room into its own field, thereby irritating the facial skin and causing allergic rashes.

Mitigation method: Don't place piles of papers and files around your computer. Wipe the surface of the computer desk with a damp cloth dipped in antistatic agent. Place a pot of cactus on your computer desk because the thorns of the cactus can absorb dust. Open windows frequently for ventilation. 1. Clean the keyboard frequently. Wash your hands before eating when and after using the keyboard. Cover the keyboard with a cloth when not in use.

Computer disease 5: carrot legs

Cause of the disease: Sitting all day long and being busy can cause your legs to swell and blood vessels to bulge on your calves, which may be a precursor to varicose veins.

Relief method: Stand up and do 10 simple squats every hour to improve venous return in the lower limbs. If you find your legs feeling sore, heavy, or swollen, seek medical attention immediately.

Computer disease 6: Mouse hand

Cause of the disease: Working overtime for several consecutive years, pain and numbness in the index or middle finger, and slow and weak thumb muscles can trigger "wrist syndrome".

Relief method: When using the mouse, do not let your arms hang in the air to reduce the pressure on your wrist. Do not press the keyboard and mouse buttons too hard. Avoid prolonged immobilization of the upper limbs and mechanical and frequent movements.

Computers have brought us many conveniences, but also many health risks. The above introduces common methods to improve computer diseases, hoping to be helpful to everyone.
