Is Your Desk Job Costing You Your Physical Health?

The Digital Diet

In this episode, I talk about:

• Maximising opportunities to take a break from technology when you have time off work
• How remote working has increased your screen time and may be affecting your physical health more than you realise
• Our tendencies to ignore physical aches, pains, and strains until they become severe and to treat physical symptoms instead of preventing the root cause of our discomfort
• Why you should listen to what your body is telling you instead of relying on digital devices or health apps to tell you when something is wrong
• Technology-induced eye strain, Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), and your employer’s legal obligations when it comes to eye tests and corrective eyewear
• How loud your headphones should be to prevent damage to your ears
• How to correctly set up your workspace to reduce the risk of debilitating back and neck pain
• The importance of making time for movement in your working day to avoid conditions associated with a sedentary lifestyle, including obesity, poor circulation, heart disease and diabetes
• The physical body scan and action challenge
• The Digital Diet Lounge – a new virtual community for digital wellness and the best place to discuss podcast episodes and take part in weekly challenges
