Staring at the screen is bad for your eyes, and sitting for long periods is bad for your back.

It can easily cause symptoms such as back and waist pain, and it is also bad for the eyes

Firstly, spending a lot of time in front of the computer exposes one to radiation, which is very harmful to the body; it can affect the body’s circulatory system, immune function, reproductive system, and metabolic processes. In severe cases, it can even cause cancer and accelerate the growth of cancer cells in the body. It can cause visual fatigue, vision loss, cataracts, and other issues in the eyes. Staying seated for long periods of time can also lead to problems such as cervical and lumbar spine disorders.

1. Prolonged sitting leads to insufficient blood supply to the brain, resulting in reduced oxygen and nutrients supply to it. This exacerbates feelings of fatigue, insomnia, and memory loss, and increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. II. Prolonged sedentary behavior can cause muscle aches throughout the body, neck stiffness, as well as headaches and dizziness, and it exacerbates lumbar and cervical spine disorders. III. Following this pattern, sitting at the office and working hard every day consumes a great deal of mental and physical energy, so one should feel hungry all the time. But why, when it’s time to eat, does one still not feel like eating or hungry at all? This is the power of sitting for long periods. IV. Prolonged sitting can cause chronic congestion in the venous plexus near the rectum, increasing the degree of stasis, which in turn worsens hemorrhoids and leads to symptoms such as bleeding during bowel movements and anal fissures. V. When the calories consumed are greater than those burned, fat tends to accumulate in the body, leading to an increase in weight. Obesity is a risk factor for various chronic diseases. 6: When a person remains in a seated position for long periods, the weight of the entire body is borne on the lower end of the spine. Additionally, the lack of movement in the shoulders and neck can lead to stiffness in the cervical spine; in severe cases, it may even cause spinal deformation, resulting in hunchback and bone spur formation. 7: Prolonged sitting can compress the Bladder Meridian, which is located in the buttocks and thighs, resulting in poor circulation of energy in this meridian and thus abnormal bladder function. Since the Kidney Meridian is connected to the Bladder Meridian, this can lead to kidney dysfunction; this is what is meant by the saying “prolonged sitting harms the kidneys”

Radiation is harmful to the body; it can lead to weight gain and conditions such as shoulder periarthritis
