Placing these things in front of the computer is harmful to your health

Using a computer for a long time can easily harm your health. It will be even worse if you put some inappropriate things in front of the computer. Let's take a look.

1. It is not advisable to place snacks or drinks near the computer

Your daily habits have retained a lot of "fossils", such as rice grains, biscuit crumbs, hair, etc. No wonder some people say: the keyboard in the public computer room is dirtier than the public toilet. At the same time, such debris may also enter your keyboard, blocking the circuits on your keyboard and causing difficulty in typing. Drinks are even more harmful; just one drink is enough to destroy your keyboard. Even if your keyboard is fortunately not destroyed, it will probably be very difficult to type on it because the keyboard is sticky and messy.

Workaround

Avoid eating on the keyboard, clean it and give it a bath every once in a while (although it will still be very dirty); if you have more money to spend, consider changing the keyboard every six months (I never recommend using a bad keyboard, as it is a health issue), and the situation should be better. Also remember to buy a dining table for your room.

2. Ashtrays and cigarette butts

Just as cigarettes, cigars, or tiny smoke particles can damage your lungs, smoke can also get into your floppy drive and compromise your data. Smoke may also cover the read heads of CD-ROM and DVD drives, causing read errors. Cigarette butts and ash are more likely to cause your printer and scanner quality to deteriorate significantly.

Workaround

The best way to protect your system and yourself is to not smoke. If you just can't give up the smoking habit, go outside to smoke or turn on an air purifier around your computer! Of course, don't use your keyboard as an ashtray.

You can put the following things next to your computer:

Place a cup of hot water next to the computer to increase the humidity around it and alleviate eye discomfort;

Green plants that reduce radiation, such as cacti and ginseng trees;

Eye drops can be used when your eyes feel very dry;

Place a small fan to increase ventilation.

Computer use tips

It is best to place the screen ten to twenty centimeters below eye level to reduce the chance of eyelid lifting. In addition to giving your eyes more rest, you should also blink frequently to moisten your eyes.

Eat some foods that are good for the eyes, such as eggs, fish, cod liver oil, carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, wolfberry, chrysanthemum, sesame, radish, animal liver, etc.

Eat some anti-radiation foods: Although computers have little impact on human health, we should still prevent it. Drinking tea can reduce the harm of radiation, and the lipopolysaccharide in tea has anti-radiation effects. Spirulina and sea buckthorn oil also have anti-radiation effects.

You should wash your face after using the computer and pay attention to physical exercise on a regular basis.
