Who Else Wants To Stay Healthy, And Fit While Working In Front Of A Computer Day In And Day Out?

  • No gain of extra inches at your waistline....
  • No eyestrains, back pains, or other discomforts...

Dear Friend,

You have been using computers since your childhood. Now, you have a long list of discomforts and ailments to your credit.

Your doctor says that it is the nature of your work that has made you an unhealthy person through the years.

You are getting in worse shape mentally and physically as the years roll on, from the life you have chosen working in front of a computer!

What next? I have heard so many cases like this from people from different walks of life. Most of them are professionals like software engineers, transcriptionists, medical coders, data entry operators, secretaries, and animators who spend almost the entire day in front of computers.
I myself have been suffering from so many disorders at a very young age due to the simple reason of not taking much care of my health while sitting in front of the computer.

Now, I have learned the hard way from my own experience. I do give advise to my friends and relatives on healthy computing if this topic happens to come across in our conversations.

The first time I had to sit back and think if this machine was giving me more trouble than comfort, is when I had this flinching pain on my neck, which radiated down to my arms.

I realized that I had spent almost 5 hours fully without even partially tilting or turning my head. Complete concentration for once seemed detrimental to my goals. I had to spend almost a week with physiotherapy, mending the damage I had done to my neck..

I did some research on this subject and realized that there were other people who had similar problems using this electronic medium.

One of the girls I talked to said that her eyes are not as moist as they must be, and that she has trouble keeping them open for a normal period.

Some probing into the nature of her work revealed that she used a very bright monitor, and usually examined her work inches away from it.

Her job involved assessing the color values of graphic designs and had to take a 'closer' look on the hues and tones and match it with the pantone shade she had in her hand.

She would assess the pantone shade color with the screen color and then decide if the values are matching. What she did not realize is that color output seen on the screen will not be what she would get in a printed output.

  • I asked her to keep the monitor brightness optimum, and not to match the pantone shade card with the screen output. I asked her to take a sample print output and match the pantone shade with the print in whichever light the artwork were to be displayed.
  • I advised her to change the practice she was following.
  • I also advised her to take breaks often and look at colors and visuals that do not strain or confuse the eye.
  • I asked her to go back to work only after she takes a splash or two of cold water on her face, making sure it thoroughly rinsed her eyes.
  • I asked her to stand up, walk up to her window and then look at the trees in a distance, and objects in different distances so that the focusing of the eye gets some exercise.

Six months later, I met her at a party. She wanted to tell me how good she was feeling after she had followed my instructions. She had her tear glands working well now (of course with some extra medication that her ophthalmologist asked to take).

She had considerable improvement in her work also since her eyes were not bothering her anymore. She even said that looking at the distant green trees worked on her like meditation and that when she went back to work after that, her mind was clear and the energy she had was amazing.

I must confess that I was surprised myself. I had given her a few tips on reducing the strain she had on her eyes, and it was working wonders in many other ways too.

A few other tips I gave my friends, yielded similar results. It sure felt good know I was able to help a few of my close friends with they pain they have been feeling for years!

As my advices started giving positive results, my friends asked me to share my experience through a book so that I can save the trouble of hundreds of thousands of people with my experience, who suffer from such ailments?

Hence, I started thinking from this angle and the result is this book on "Healthy Computing".

When I was a little younger and was suffering from some computer-related ailments, I had consulted my friends, relatives, and even orthopedic surgeons to get a positive and encouraging reply.

Some of them told me that there is no going back and you have to live with it as long as it took.. Some of them showed me certain exercises to suppress my pain.

Apart from these, I have spent so much on my scans, meds, and even treatments, but with no desired results.

I have always wondered if I had some guide to the healthy usage of computer when I needed it so badly, I wouldn't have had to suffer as much as I did.

Nevertheless there is no good a teacher as plain old experience.

How This Book Will Help YOU!!!!

Maybe you're saying to yourself, "Healthy Computing may have a lot of information, but how is it really going to help ME to use my computer properly?"

For anything to benefit you, it must be practices by you. We'll tell you how to. It's by understanding:

  • How it must be dealt with - It's like saying how a horse can be tamed. When you have to saddle a horse and climb and ride on it, you have to know how a horse will respond to you. Coming out of the Wild West, this is exactly how you will have to treat your computers and related machinery. You make one wrong move; you get thrown off the saddle.
  • What you are dealing with - Understanding the medium is vital when you have to be successful and productive in using it. Computers by all means have found their way through into most of our lives as smooth as how a steaming pizza finds its way in. It is an integral part of our lives and so you better start knowing what it's all about. We're not asking you to learn how a microchip is designed. No, but you at least have to know the most essential information that is required to operate it and use it to your advantage.
  • And why it must be dealt so - Trying you fix damage in the electronic media, both in hardware and your own health can climb to unnecessary expenses. Computer related health hazards are often unnoticed until it reaches a chronic stage. Some damages are irreversible. Understanding the reasons and causes of these health hazards will enable you to prevent it from occurring. And that is the best way to put them off. If at all, in the event of someone already contracted these ailments, necessary treatment for its cure must be done, before it causes more damage to you.

You won't be able to find a book on Healthy Computing that will deliver all these benefits to you. I know, because I looked everyone for one myself! Healthy Computing is the only guide that will help you quickly and easily understand the computer hardware and software hazards that you may encounter and the prevention and cure for it.

Chapter 1

Positioning Your Body
B efore discussing on how to set your computer workstation, let's have a look at the concept of neutral body positioning. This can be defined as a comfortable working posture with a natural alignment of all your joints from head to toes. This method of neutral positioning helps you reduce the stress and strain on the muscles, tendons, and skeletal system thus reducing the risks of developing a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD). If you are a person who would like to maintain neutral body postures while working at the computer workstation, then you should be considering the following instructions:

  • Ensure that your head and torso are in-line with head slightly bent forward, facing towards the front, and balanced.
  • Ensure that your hands, wrists, and forearms are in a row, straight, and almost parallel to the floor.
  • Ensure that your shoulders are at ease with upper arms hanging normally at the sides of your body.
