Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) - Facts and Effects


Staring at a computer monitor for hours on end has become a part of the modern workday. And inevitably, all of that staring can put a real strain on your eyes.
The name for eye problems caused by computer use is computer vision syndrome (CVS). CVS is not one specific eye problem. Instead, the term encompasses a whole range of eyestrain and pain experienced by computer users.
Research shows computer eye problems are common. Somewhere between 50% and 90% of people who work at a computer screen have at least some symptoms of eye trouble.
In addition, working adults aren't the only ones vulnerable to computer vision syndrome. Kids who stare at portable video games or who use computers throughout the day at school also can experience eye problems related to computer use, especially if the lighting and computer position are less than ideal.
Computer Vision Syndrome Facts

How Can the Computer Screen Affect Vision?

Computer vision syndrome is similar to carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries at work. It occurs when you're carrying out the same motion over and over again. Just like those other repetitive stress injuries, computer vision syndrome can get worse the longer you continue the activity.
Working at a computer requires that the eyes continuously focus, move back and forth, and align with what you are seeing. You may have to look down at papers and then back up to type, and the eyes have to accommodate to changing images on the screen in order to create a clear picture for the brain to interpret.
All of these functions require a lot of effort from eye muscles. Working on a computer is more challenging to your eyes than reading a book or piece of paper, because a computer screen also adds the elements of screen contrast, flicker, and glare. Computer eye problems are more likely to occur if you already have an eye problem -- such asnearsightedness or astigmatism -- or if you need glasses but don't wear them or wear the wrong prescription for computer use.

Working at a computer gets even more difficult as you get older. That's because the lens of your eye becomes less flexible. The ability to focus on near and far objects starts to diminish after about age 40 -- a condition called presbyopia.

Is that extra cup of COFFEE adding to your STRESS www.99beautytips.com

Too many cups of tea and coffee or cans of soft drinks can result in insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, irritability nausea or other gastrointestinal problems, fast or irregular heartbeat, muscle tremors, headaches and anxiety. To keep these health conditions away, gradually change your caffeine (or sugar intake) habits:

  1. Pay attention to how much caffeine you are getting from foods and beverages.
  2. Cut back gradually. Drink one less can of soda or drink a smaller cup of coffee each day. This will help your body get used to the lower levels of caffeine.
  3. When making tea, brew forless time to cut down on caffeine content. Or opt for herbal teas, which don't contain stimulant.

How to protect your Liver ? Depends on your Lifestyle

Healthy Liver... Healthy You...!

How to protect your Liver ? Depends on your Lifestyle

The liver is in the upper right part of the abdomen. The functions of the liver include: storing glycogen (fuel for the body) which is made from sugars; helping to process fats and proteins from digested food; making proteins that are essential for blood to clot (clotting factors); processing many medicines which you may take; helping to remove poisons and toxins from the body.
What does the liver do? 99beautytips.com
Liver functioning 99beautytips.com
The liver also makes bile. This is a greenish-yellow fluid that contains bile acids, bile pigments and waste products such as bilirubin. Liver cells pass bile into bile ducts inside the liver. The bile flows down these ducts into larger and larger ducts, eventually leading to the common bile duct. The gallbladder is like a 'cul-de-sac' reservoir of bile which comes off the common bile duct. After you eat, the gallbladder squeezes bile back into the common bile duct and down into the duodenum (the first part of the gut after the stomach). Bile in the gut helps to digest fats.

Here are few waysto keep your liver healthy

  1. The liver requires high amounts of vitamins and minerals to perform its many functions.  Your diet should be high in fruits and vegetables and fibrer-rich foods.
  2. Your liver must filter food additives.  Eliminate processed foods, artificial food additives, colors, and preservatives from your diet to give your liver a break.
  3. There are many great herbs that help strengthen the liver, including: milk thistle, dandelion root, globe artichoke, turmeric, slippery elm, greater celandine, balmony, barberry, black root, blue flag, boldo, fringetree bark, vervain, and wahoo.  I regularly use turmeric and milk thistle to help strengthen the liver.  If you are pregnant, have a serious health condition, or are taking medication, consult a qualified health practitioner before using herbs.
  4. Significantly reduce refined sugar and avoid synthetic sweeteners altogether.
  5. Lecithin helps the liver metabolize fats and reduce cholesterol.  It contains a substance called phosphatidylcholine and essential fatty acids that help keep liver cells healthy and help prevent fatty deposits from building up in the liver.  Lecithin also helps reduce high blood pressure by allowing the blood vessels to relax to allow better blood flow. You can get lecithin in organic soyfoods like soy milk, tofu, and miso, as well as organic eggs.  Alternatively, take 4000 mg of lecithin in capsule form daily.
  6. Take a high quality multivitamin and mineral supplement to avoid any deficiencies.  The liver depends on many nutrients to detoxify properly.  Even a single nutrient deficiency can be harmful.
  7. In addition, take 1000 to 2000 mg of vitamin C daily, even if there is vitamin C in your multivitamin.
  8. Eat plenty of fresh carrots and beets, both of which are powerful liver cleansing and rebuilding foods.  In addition, eat plenty of green foods.  The chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color, helps cleanse the liver.
  9. Try to eat two heaping tablespoons of ground flaxseeds.  They bind to hormone receptor sites, preventing excess hormones including synthetic xenoestrogens from plastics and other chemicals, from floating around your bloodstream.  One of the liver’s five hundred jobs is to filter excess hormones.  By eating flaxseeds and flax oil you are helping it function more effectively.  Flaxseeds can be sprinkled on cereal, toast, salads, or blended into smoothies.
