Prolonged Computer typing can cause arthritis.

Working on a computer for long hours could lead to the weakening of your hand muscles. Do your hands hurt when you write? Blame the long working hours on the computer.

Experts say that an increasing use of the keyboard or mobile phone to type the text is making hand muscles less flexible.

“While writers can get writer's cramps, with over use of the computer I see more and more people getting arthritis,” Dr Naveen Talwar expert Dept of Orthopaedics.

So it's not just your handwriting that you need to worry about, with the overuse of the computer and typing, joints can get rough. This can lead to pain and swelling in the joints of the hand - causing arthritis. Disturbing as it may sound, it is avoidable.

"The best way is to avoid prolonged usage. So many people are typing while in the car, while at home on laptop, in bed, at work. If this is avoided - then further complications can be prevented,” added Talwar.

hhhmmm... Very Right... :)

But Now-a-days, Computers have become addiction rather than necessasity. Even Small Kids are spending so much of their time on PCs. ::) Don't know, which way, this addiction is taking us... A way to Progressive World or A Way to Unhealthy World. ???

Do physical workout too..
hv the balance..

What you have stated is absolutely true; sitting in a crampped or stationary position opposite a computer for typing/viewing will affect blood circulation in the lower portion of the body and some experts have stated that the affected blood flow may eventually hit at the heart also. Watching the computer for long hours without blinking the eyes will eventually drain the liquid flow in eye balls afftecting vision in the longterm. The younger generation should be educated apout this

True.. I had even drafted a small post regarding eye care. See in health section :)
