Computer and Our Eyes

There is nothing new in this confirmation: if you sit all the day near your PC, your eyes become weak and your sight goes from bad to worse every day.

It's about me, too.

From my 7 years, I had always weak sight. But it stabilized at about 17 years and was -5 dioptre... till the arrival of the pc in our house. Since I have to work at pc all the day long -and you know how it is for those who works at home: we do not have breaks etc. We remain sticked to it all the day long forgetting about everything.

Now, as I just told you in my previous posts, I decided to begin my battle with the bad functioning of my body. Yes, you are right, it's normal at my age, but those persons which can control themselves have young bodies -and they are older then me. So, my dear friends, 50 years are not an excuse to be like a hippo. It's only our laziness. The body does not work so as we would like but we can help it!

So, we begin with the famous program-timer I mentioned in my previous post
Healty Eyes Timer

Now, there are simple settings that change time for work and time for exercises. I installed 25 minutes of work and 60 seconds of exercises. Now, a little window went out and said me I have to begin my break in 30 seconds. After that, a sound says me to begin the break. Honestly, 60 seconds are not enough for my exercises. I need 80 or 100 seconds. I do exercises for my belly, for eyes.

Who knows, maybe, I'll be able to show you that excellent young body, too, as my friends do this year...

By the way, if you want a program for your eyes, here (in russian) is a great system to follow: Exercises for Eyes

Some Healthy Exercises to Do Near Computer

This year I worked with many persons who come here, in Italy for business or in vacation. All of them were so thin that it seemed to me they would be able to hide themselves behind a rod. Since I continue to add kilos day by day and there is nothing what could stop this tendency, I could not understand how is it possible to arrive at this enviable result. Than, I noticed that they were able to walk with me without any break for hours and, listening to them, I understood, they do not eat any sweeties at all. "Now, -said one mother to her boys,- you can eat an ice-cream this evening!" Oh my dear, I thought, it's terrible!!!

Well, she, this mother, is surely right. There are so many fat children today! I agree with some researchers that our passion for sugar, this constant desire to eat something sweet, became a dependence. Specially, we, women, working at the computer (which -what an odd coincidence!- is situating not too far from the pc) can't renounce on some visits in the kitchen...

Aaaahhhhh... Yes, I hate my thighs and my hanging abdomen. So, I began a new life from yesterday. Now, I have a little but very useful program installed in my pc. This program is an alarm. I installed it for 25 minutes of work and 60 seconds of break. I have a carpet here, nearby, and have a list of exercises to do in one of my sites. Fitness exercises for slim belly

From the other side, I subscribed a special psychological newsletter to fight my sugar dependence. I still did not receive any mail from this program but, I hope, they will arrive and I'll be able to tell you about them sortly. And here is one more exercise I do not have on the page I mentioned earlier.
