Working Too Many Hours In Front Of Computer?Must Read Advices For Your Health
I’ve been experiencing back pain and knee pain for the last 6 months and this month it increased so much and i decided to go to doctor(very late).Well,i guessed what causes this kind of pain but i had to be sure.After some tests and a few detailed questions it was exactly what i thought.
I think most of the doctors’ first two questions are ”What is your job?” and if there is a word ”office or computer” in your answer then second question is ”How many hours do you sit in front of computer?”
Ok,i sit too much.Almost the whole day-from morning till 6 PM.And of course a few hours at night.What can i do?This is my job.I cannot change my job.
After telling all these to my doctor,i began to listen my doctor’s advices.
First of all,i bought a new office chair.(Similar to his chair-perfect).
Then of course,as you guess,we all need physical activity during the day.
But before that,most of us make some mistakes while sitting in front of our computers.You should have a correct body position while sitting.
