Women in the workplace pay attention to their physical health, as those who sit for long periods at work are prone to occupational diseases; for example, most women in the workplace these days spend long hours sitting in front of computers. Experts explain that women who engage in sedentary work for long periods are prone to kidney damage. Therefore, women must never think that spending time in front of a computer every day doesn’t harm their health. For workplace health, let’s take a look together with the editor at how female workers can strengthen their kidneys! How can one strengthen their kidneys? What can be done to reduce damage to them? Nowadays, the vast majority of teenagers suffer to some extent from computer syndrome, as they spend long hours in front of computers every day, which reduces the frequency of blinking and leads to myopia and ciliary muscle spasms. The cause of premature vision decline is the prolonged exposure of the eyes to radiant screens, which leads to a reduced frequency of blinking and rapid evaporation of tears, resulting in dry eyes. 　　Computer syndrome is classified as a stress-related disease; when the eyes are fixed on one spot for extended periods, the frequency of blinking drops to one-third of its normal level. The damage to the eyes is even greater if one spends more than 2 hours looking at a computer screen or watches TV for over 4 hours in a row. It can easily cause the blood circulation in the eyes to slow down, thereby reducing the secretion of lubricating fluid in the eyes. Over time, in addition to causing eye fatigue, double vision, and blurred vision, it can also lead to other discomforts and even premature vision loss. 　　The Huangdi Neijing states that \"the vital energies of the five zang organs and six fu organs all flow upward to the eyes.\" From this, it can be seen that the eyes rely not only on the liver for nutrition; the essences of all these organs have an impact on the eyes. It is often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and since the heart governs the spirit, one can judge a person’s health or decline by looking at their eyes. Therefore, communication between souls takes place through eye contact. However, the Huangdi Neijing also states that \"the kidneys are in charge of water regulation, storing the essence derived from the five zang organs and six fu organs.\" It can be seen that this essence first gets stored in the kidneys, and from there it is sent to the eyes; what nourishes the eyes is actually the essence of the kidneys. 　　In many cases of acute and critical illnesses, it is observed that patients have fixed eyes with unmoving pupils; this is a symptom of depleted kidney essence in the patient and indicates a poor prognosis. There is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine for treating vision impairment in clinical practice, called \"Qiju Dihuang Wan\". It is composed of Liuwei Dihuang Wan along with goji berries and chrysanthemums; in fact, the treatment of eye problems focuses on addressing the kidneys, while also taking into account the liver and kidneys together. Therefore, protecting your eyes means protecting your liver and kidneys, while damaging your eyes means damaging your liver and kidneys. 　　Editor’s note: All of the above is aimed at maintaining health in the workplace; women need to learn ways to take care of their bodies. Of course, it is absolutely unacceptable for beautiful women to focus solely on their work at the expense of their health at the workplace. Therefore, to take care of their health, we also recommend that working women learn methods to strengthen the kidneys. Nourishing the kidneys and replenishing energy is an issue that every woman should pay attention to; therefore, it’s important to learn to balance work and rest!
