Lifestyle Diseases

No matter how efficient medical technology is, and no matter how competent the doctor is today, how to keep people remain healthy is still not an easy task.

Numerous studies suggests that our health condition depends on four main factors: Genetic 15%, social and environment 17%, medicine 8% and lifestyle 60%. This shows that human health depends much on their lifestyle factor.

The best way to deal with illness is to prevent it from happening in the first place. They can be lowered with changes in diet, lifestyle, and environment. To live longer you need to eat properly, exercise regularly and reduce stress to the extent possible!

How to Select Your Computer Chair

It is quite a challenge to maintain good posture for long hour especially if you need to spend more than 8 hours in your office. A good computer chair is probably the single most important component of our working environment. If the chair that you sit is not comfortable, it may affect our health.

Our body needs the right support and comfort. There is a link between back pain, poor posture, and chair design. Ergonomically designed chairs are built with the needs of our body in mind. They provide us with supreme comfort because they have adjustable features, which reduce the amount of stress we place on our muscles and joints.

Take less after lunch

Research shows that the less you eat, the better your health will be. Digestion takes many hours and your system may not be able to digest properly when you are sleeping.

So it is good practice to take less after your lunch - better if you can skip your dinner - your digestion will be done during the middle of the day while you are moving around.

The other way is to take an earlier light dinner - this may help.

Some believe that "Eat ONLY when you really feel hungry" should be practise all the time. Anyway, do enjoy less eating for your good health!
