"Sitting is the New Smoking" - a phrase that has been widely used in recent years to emphasize the dangers of prolonged sitting. With the increasing number of gamers and young people spending most of their time in front of computers, it's important to make them aware of the importance of exercise.
Studies have shown that sitting for long periods of time can increase the risk of:
-heart disease,
-obesity, and
-Decrease in circulation and flexibility,
-Host of physical and mental health problems.
-other chronic conditions.
But don't worry, incorporating exercise into your daily routine is easier than you think. Here are a few exercises that you can do in a limited space:
Wall sits: Hold a squat position against the wall for 30 seconds, then rest and repeat. This exercise can help strengthen your legs and glutes.
Chair dips: Sit on the edge of a chair and dip your body down using your arms, then push back up to the starting position. Repeat 10-15 times. This exercise can help strengthen your triceps and shoulders.
Desk push-ups: Place your hands on the edge of your desk and perform a push-up, then rest and repeat. This exercise can help strengthen your chest, arms, and core.
Leg raises: Sit in your chair and raise one leg at a time, then lower it back down. Repeat 10-15 times for each leg. This exercise can help strengthen your hips and legs.
In addition to regular exercise, it's also important to take care of your eyes. Prolonged straining and looking into the computer screen can cause eye strain, fatigue, and headaches.
To protect your eyes, make sure to take breaks every 20-30 minutes,
practice the 20-20-20 rule (looking away from the screen every 20 minutes for 20 seconds), and adjust your screen to reduce glare and reflections.
Incorporating exercise and eye care into your daily routine may seem like a small change, but it can have a significant impact on your health and well-being. Don't wait until it's too late to start taking care of yourself.
