Bad habits that endanger the health of white-collar women
Bad habit 1: Wear headphones at work.
You think wearing headphones at work can avoid disturbing people around you, and even listening to music will not be discovered by the leaders.
Cause of injury:
The earphone is hung on the external auditory canal, which can transmit the sound to the ear at zero distance, avoid the interference of other sounds and directly stimulate the ear nerve. Excessive volume for a long time will lead to hearing loss and even deafness in both ears.
Change it:
Headphones can be replaced with small speakers. If you need to use headphones, you should avoid turning the volume up too high. Don't use other people's headphones easily to avoid cross infection.
Bad habit 2: 9: 00 to 5: 00.
White-collar women wear high heels every morning before going out to match their professional clothes. Even after work, they can't live without watching movies and shopping. I can't take it off until I get home and wear high heels for more than ten hours.
Cause of injury:
Wearing high heels for a long time, the feet are in an unnatural state for a long time, the arch pressure increases, and there is no rest, and the toes are forced to bear too much pressure. Over time, there will be symptoms such as thumb valgus and arch collapse, which will become more and more painful. The final result is the need for surgical correction.
Change it:
Prepare a pair of comfortable flat shoes in the office and enjoy 8 hours of foot relaxation. Don't wear the same pair of shoes for more than three consecutive days. Doing so can keep your feet in good health and restore your physical strength.
Bad habit 3: Take a lunch break at your desk.
Sleep is of course a very important thing, but the habit of office workers taking a nap at noon needs to be another matter.
Cause of injury:
Temporary blurred vision usually occurs after a lunch break at my desk, because my eyes are compressed. If you do this for a long time, it will cause high intraocular pressure and damage your vision. Over time, the eyeball will swell and the axial length will become longer, which will easily increase the incidence of glaucoma. For people who have mild myopia symptoms, myopia patients or people wearing contact lenses, it is especially important to pay attention not to take a lunch break with their hands instead of pillows for a long time. In addition, sleeping on your stomach and pressing your arms and face for a long time will affect normal blood circulation and nerve conduction, making your arms and face numb and even sore. If you don't pay attention, it will become local nerve paralysis or facial deformation after a long time.
Change it:
If the actual conditions do not allow you to lie down and rest, you can try some other methods to improve your spirit. Sometimes, learning to breathe deeply correctly can help you: you can try to put your hand on your abdomen and inhale slowly, and imagine that your stomach is a big balloon, which is slowly filled with gas. Then exhale slowly and remember to keep your abdomen relaxed. Take a deep breath 2 ~ 3 times and pay full attention to the ups and downs of the abdomen. After repeating it for 3~5 times, listlessness can be relieved.
Bad habit 4: cross your legs
Low back pain is the most common disease among sedentary professional women. There are many reasons for low back pain, one of which is to cross your legs for a long time.
Cause of injury:
When crossing your legs, your body will unconsciously lean forward and the whole spine will be in a state of flexion. The pressure on the intervertebral disc is three to five times that of standing or sitting normally. Keeping this posture for a long time may induce lumbar diseases. The research results of American health institutions also show that 40% people who cross their legs will have varicose veins in their legs. This is because when crossing your legs for a long time, because your legs overlap each other, it will hinder the blood circulation of your legs and cause varicose veins in your legs over time. In addition, due to poor blood circulation, severe cases will also affect the function of the brain and heart. An obvious performance is that people will find themselves dizzy for no reason.
Change it:
People who are used to crossing their legs at work may not be able to get used to putting their legs flat at once. It doesn't matter if they can't change it for a while, but please pay attention to consciously controlling the time to avoid crossing your legs too tightly. You should change your sitting position or walk for a few minutes. Setting a reminder on your smartphone, or putting a note in front of your eyes to consciously remind yourself to sit up, is conducive to relaxing your spine. When you feel tired, stand up and walk around, even if it's only for a minute or two, you can quickly restore blood circulation.
Bad habit 5: the phone hangs around your neck.
Many office workers like to put their necks sideways when talking on the phone, put the microphone between their necks, shoulders and chin, and do other things while talking to the person on the other end of the phone. This action looks quite natural and unrestrained, and time is fully utilized. However, if you call frequently, cervical spondylosis will soon find you.
Cause of injury:
The neck is a very important part of the human body. It is connected with the brain and the trunk. The central axis is the cervical vertebra, which contains abundant nerve conduction tissue. In the office, people often need to bow their heads and shrink their necks. If you keep this posture for a long time, the cervical spine will inevitably be tired, and chronic strain of the posterior ligament and muscles of the cervical spine will occur for a long time, leading to vertebral hyperplasia and ligament hypertrophy, which will cause cervical spondylosis to a certain extent and have a great impact on human health.
Change it:
Calling could have taken the opportunity to relax the cervical spine and let the cervical spine rest. If you put the receiver around your neck to make a phone call at this time, it will be even worse for the already tired cervical vertebra. From the physiological structure, the cervical lateral bending angle of human body should not be too large. Holding the receiver by the neck is a very difficult action and requires a greater response than usual. The muscles on one side of the cervical spine are passively pulled, while the muscles on the other side are trying to contract, as are the fascia and ligaments. Almost all the cervical facet joints are in the maximum range of motion. If you keep a posture that makes the cervical spine laborious for a long time and do not pay attention to maintaining the balance between muscles and soft tissues, it is easy to induce cervical spondylosis.
Posture that harms women's health every day.
1. Stand crooked in high heels.
Wearing high heels will make you tired. Many women like to tilt their center of gravity to one side when standing, and turn to the other side when they are tired. Long-term, it will cause uneven stress on both sides of the lumbar spine, leading to low back pain. The correct posture should be that the legs are upright, the calves and abdomen are slightly tightened, the center of gravity is slightly tilted forward, and the eyes are looking straight ahead. If you need to stand for a long time, change your center of gravity every 10 minute.
2. Curl up on the sofa and watch TV.
When watching TV, many women like to curl up on the sofa and eat snacks. As we all know, this posture is extremely harmful to the body, affecting breathing and digestion, not only squeezing internal organs, but also easily causing lumbar muscle strain. It is recommended to choose a slightly higher and harder sofa. If the seat is too deep, you might as well put a cushion behind your waist.
3. Bend over and collapse at work.
White-collar workers sit in the office for a long time, and when they are tired, they lie prone on the computer desk. After a long time, it becomes a humpbacked shrimp, which affects the aesthetic feeling and also lays a hidden danger for the body. The correct posture is to keep the head and neck upright, the body is vertical to the ground, and you can lean on the armchair.
4. Walk with your head down and your chest out.
Fast-paced life makes women rush like the wind all day, and they always rush forward with their heads down when walking. In fact, lowering your head and holding your chest affects your heart and lungs. It is suggested to look up when walking, and let the thighs drive the calves to trot, which is conducive to active cardiopulmonary function.
5, thinking about problems, love to care.
It is often seen that some women like to think about various problems with their cheeks propped up. The harm of doing this is to induce back pain, which is very unfavorable to the cervical spine. It is suggested that white-collar women get up and walk around when thinking, or put their hands behind their necks and twist their necks to ensure blood circulation in their brains.
