1.- Physical pain

Technology prevents complications in our lives, it facilitates daily tasks but when used in excess it can affect physical and mental health.

According to Mayo Clinic information, the use of electronic devices such as computers, smartphones and tablets harms our health in different ways, for example:

 

1.- Physical pain

The different positions to adopt when sitting in front of the computer generate specific discomforts such as back pain, neck and wrist, stooping, poor blood circulation, eyestrain, fat accumulation and promote sedentary lifestyle.

 

2.- Reduce your productivity

The distractions generated by social networks reduce your concentration, so you lose the ability to do several things at once or take more time to do your activities.

 

3.- Stress increase

A survey in the UK reveals that social networks have a negative effect on people, since comparisons on Facebook or Twitter can generate anxiety, depression and increase stress levels.

 

4.- Sleep problems

Smart phones interrupt a deep rest, either by the sounds or by the light emitted by the screens, by delaying the natural release of the hormone melatonin, which favors sleep.

 

5.- Limit your creativity

Constant exposure to technology reduces it. A study reveals that getting away from electronic devices helps you generate new ideas.

Do you think that you can not separate yourself from technology? Do the test for a few seconds: sit right, close your eyes, breathe deeply and move your neck from one side to the other slowly, think of something pleasant and you will notice how the tension is reduced and your eyes cool.

Disconnect and enjoy a better mood, live and close ties with your family and forget about stress.
