Five diseases are prone to occur when using computers frequently. Traditional Chinese medicine can eliminate them all!

Office workers are busy at work in front of computers every day, always maintaining the same posture and lack of exercise, which leads to health problems for many white-collar workers and reduced resistance. In the face of various illnesses and pains of white-collar workers, what relief methods does traditional Chinese medicine have?

White-collar workers often have five pain points with computers

Eye pain

Computer Vision Syndrome. Burning eyes or blurred vision when looking at a computer may be caused by "computer vision syndrome" due to using the computer for too long or the screen brightness and contrast are too high. Specific symptoms of the disease include eye fatigue, dryness, blurred vision and headaches. If not treated in time, it can easily lead to more serious eye damage such as hyperopia and astigmatism. Experts recommend avoiding glare from computer screens, taking regular breaks and looking into the distance, and avoiding air conditioners or fans blowing directly into your eyes to prevent dry eyes. In addition, indoor lighting should also be appropriate.

Hand pain

Carpal tunnel syndrome. Typing and operating the mouse all day long can easily lead to carpal tunnel syndrome (also known as "mouse hand"), the symptoms of which include paralysis, swelling, pain, and cramping of the wrist muscles or joints and forearm. In addition to inflammation of the wrist flexor tendons, other risk factors include genetics, age, hand or wrist injuries, and certain medical conditions. It is suggested that simple exercises such as stretching the wrists, stretching the thumbs, clenching the fists, pressing with both hands together, and squeezing the hand gripper, which can be done while sitting at a table, can stimulate blood circulation in the hands, wrists, and forearms, and effectively reduce the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. Roll up a towel and place it under your wrists to help relieve stress on your arms when using a mouse.

Low back pain

Herniated disc. In addition to sitting for long periods of time, leaning forward while using a computer can also increase the risk of back pain. If not treated in time, it can easily develop into chronic low back pain. Especially when leaning forward close to 45 degrees, this sitting posture can easily increase the pressure on the spine and intervertebral discs, increasing the risk of severe low back pain. Experts suggest that computer users should get up and rest at least once every half hour and walk as much as possible to facilitate blood circulation. In addition, try to sit on the edge of a chair, or use a lumbar pillow on your back to help maintain an upright sitting posture.

Cervical pain

Computer operation causes the person's head to lack activity and remain in the same posture for a long time, which can lead to compensatory hyperplasia of the cervical vertebrae over time. Cervical spondylosis can compress nerve roots, causing periarthritis of the shoulder and limited upper limb movement. In severe cases, the patient cannot take care of himself. Cervical spondylosis can also cause compression of the vertebral artery that supplies the occipital part of the brain, causing abnormal blood supply to the occipital part of the brain and symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and memory loss.

Heartache

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. A recent study found that a sedentary lifestyle is not good for blood circulation throughout the body and may also increase the risk of lower limb artery thrombosis and deep vein thrombosis. Once the blood clot breaks off, it can easily lead to the risk of heart disease and stroke. Experts suggest that in order to reduce sitting time, it is best to stand when making phone calls, in meetings or eating lunch. Set the computer screen saver and move around at regular intervals.

Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches you how to regulate sub-health of white-collar workers

1. Staring at the computer screen for a long time and overstraining your eyes

Office workers use computers a lot and stare at the screen all the time. Many people will use eye drops on their own when their eyes are sore or tired. It is recommended that you go to a specialist hospital for examination and follow the doctor's advice. Do not use eye drops on your own. For white-collar office workers without organic eye diseases, you can take Qiju Dihuang Pills to achieve the effect of benefiting the kidneys and improving eyesight.

2. Computer radiation causes trouble to the skin

Sitting in front of the computer for a long time, white-collar office workers are prone to various skin problems such as acne and pimples. It is recommended that everyone keep a good mood; pay attention to avoid greasy and spicy food in the diet; keep the bowels open; avoid using cosmetics with unknown ingredients; it is best to nourish the inside and outside according to your own constitution and pay attention to regulating your body.

3. Change your lifestyle

First of all, you need to have a regular schedule. It is best to go to bed before 11 o'clock. White-collar workers should ensure 7 hours of sleep every day. Three meals a day should be eaten on time, and everyone must eat breakfast every day. Breakfast is essential to ensuring human health, maintaining physical fitness, and improving learning and work efficiency. Skipping breakfast can easily lead to problems such as cholecystitis and gallstones. Men are advised to quit smoking and drinking, and women should avoid spicy and greasy foods. They should maintain a happy mood and avoid heavy physical work. Nowadays, white-collar workers generally have increasing work pressure, and they need to self-regulate in time to relieve stress and avoid excessive fatigue.

4. Massage three acupoints for shoulder and neck pain

Fengchi Point:

Fengchi point is located in the depressions on both sides of the hairline at the back of the neck, between two muscles. Rubbing the Fengchi point for one minute can relieve symptoms such as dizziness caused by cervical pressure.

Zusanli acupoint:

The Zusanli point is located on the outer side of the calf, three inches below the knee. Stiffness and soreness in the waist, and even stomach discomfort caused by sitting for a long time, can be adjusted by massaging the Zusanli acupoint.

Hegu Point:

Use the first joint horizontal line of the thumb of one hand to align with the base of the other hand, then bend the thumb and press down. The place where the fingertip points is the Hegu point. Pressing the Hegu point can relieve headaches and eye pain that often occur from sitting in the office for a long time.
