Although a controversial subject, some medical experts claim that computers emit low levels of radiation that are unsafe for pregnant women. Ageing According to Dr Wasserman, as we get older, our bodies are less flexible and more prone to injury. Most of these injuries are cumulative as they build up over time and frequency. Most studies suggest a 15-minute break for every 45 minutes of work. Take a walk, move your arms, do neck bends and shoulder shrugs to get your circulation going.
Gentle stretches are good too as they help ease tense muscles.
If you are older, you might need to take breaks more often. Pay close attention to the signals that your body gives you and work out a schedule that you are most comfortable with. SPH AsiaOne Ltd. All rights reserved.
