| Learn how to sit, stand, move and exercise in a balanced manner to reduce the neck and lower back pain to a great extent |
|
STRETCHING regularly and correctly is one of the three ways to protect the spine and keep the body in baance. Its relaxing effects contribute significantly to your ability to recuperate and tone up. Who hasn't suffered from low back pain or stiffness at one time or the other? Even children are not immun.
The spine has three natural curves and a change in one curve affects the other two. The thoracic or middle back area is less mobile because of the ribs attached to it. This results in the neck and lower back being very closely related and an injury to one can often harm the other.. |

| Healthy habits for a healthy life |
|
| There are a few healthy habits which can be followed in daily routine life. These habits will improve blood circulation in the body and also increases the energy levels and fitness.
Excercise If you are planning to add a daily dose of exercise to your routine, this is the right time to start. There is nothing like an early morning walk to start with. A good brisk walk of about 30 minutes will recharge your batteries for the day. Half way round you could also exercise your joints by gently moving them around in different directions. If you are in your 30s, you could also jog for a brief while. People with arthritis must avoid jogging or too brisk walk. Avoid polluted areas for a walk. A couple of rounds in a nearby park will pump your spirits up. If you are game for company, motivate your neighbours to join. Some like walking alone. Such people can try taking a walkman along and listen to some good morning ragas. |

| 10 Tips and Technics for Better Eyes |
|
| Most computer users suffer from the problem of tired eyes, dark circles and headaches. Follow the ten tips to avoid them
Studies have shown that stress, active nightlife and above all, the fact that most of us spend maximum time in front of the computer lead to dark circles, puffed and tired eyes. Timely treatment is essential for such difficulties. Specifically with computer users, physical and visual discomfort is experienced by many after just a few hours in front of computers. It appears that PC users suffer from repetitive stress of their eyes and want an immediate solution to revive the tired eyes. Studies show that most computer users start to feel eye-muscle stress after two or more hours at the computer. This usually starts with tired eyes. With more time at the computer, discomfort frequently spreads to the head resulting in headaches, burning of the eyes, blurred vision, loss of focus, double vision, and neck and shoulder pains. Before it is too late, your stressed out eyes need to be relaxed and revitalised so that you feel fresh later in the day |

| • |
Modify your workstation. Adjust your workstation and chair to the correct height.
Use proper lighting. |
| |
|
| • |
Match the computer screen to the brightness of the environment. The contrast between the background and on-screen characters should be high. |
| |
|
| • |
Minimise the glare. Use window shades, blinds or drapes to block excessive sunlight or install an anti-glare screen to minimise reflections. |
| |
|
| • |
Take frequent breaks. Full-time computer users should take a 10 minute break every hour. |
| |
|
| • |
Blink more often. Tears in the eye evaporate more rapidly during long non-blinking phases and cause dry eyes. |
| |
|
| • |
Get an eye examination done. |
| |
|
| • |
Re-focus your eyes. Look away from your computer screen every 10-15 minutes and focus for 5-10 seconds on a distant object. |
| |
|
| • |
Exercise even when sitting. Move about or exercise frequently. |
| |
|
| • |
Get sufficient sleep. Fatigue promotes eyestrain. |
