Health Risks in using a Computer for a Long Time

Growing up our elders would always advise us to not use our computers and even when we have a headache or fever immediately the blame shifts to our excessive use of computers. Today let us discuss some actual health risks in using a computer for a long time.

• Posture concerns: The fact that we spent nearly 8 hours a day sitting in a particular position staring at a screen takes a heavy toll on our body. Our muscles and especially our backbone suffers immense damage by doing this. One must ensure that you always sit in the most optimum position while working in front of a PC or it will be extremely harmful in the long run.

• Blue Light Exposure: Studies show that even the tiniest amount of blue light after sunset can disrupt our circadian rhythm and thereby upsetting the production of melatonin which is a very important hormone that helps in rest, relaxation and sleep in the human body. Any sort of artificial light produces this blue tint and the computer screens produce the most prominent of this.

The proficient understanding of the above-mentioned facts add to the increasing influx of tourists that aim for medical tourism in Kerala and one of the very first steps that need to be implemented is the use of medical disposables such as probe covers into the general system of health care.
