Ouch! Your wrists hurt, your computer screen appears fuzzy and the muscles in your neck and shoulders are all knotted up.
Do you work long sedentary hours in front of a computer with absolutely no time to exercise? Don't fret.
Holistic Health Guru, Mickey Mehta lists out seven simple exercises to do at your workplace during 2008.
Ease Those Eyes
Even a short period of strained reading can hurt the eyes. So try to read with relaxed awareness and good posture.
- Walk bare feet on grass, sand or bare earth either early morning or around sunset. This helps relax the reflex connections between the soles and visual areas of brain.
- Stand with your feet slightly apart in a wide open space. Shift your body weight onto one side. Then raise the opposite heel off the ground, swinging it back and forth for a few minutes. Look straight ahead and allow your eyes to relax.
Splash cold water onto your eyes to stimulate blood supply and generally tone up the eyes.
Another way to relax your eyes is through palming.
- Sit quietly with your eyes closed.
- Rub your palms vigorously until they become hot.
- Then place them over your eyelids without any undue pressure.
Feel the warmth and energy transmitted from your palms onto your eyes. Gradually, your eye muscles will start to relax. Repeat this at least thrice.
Sit with your eyes open. Then blink them quickly for about 10 times. Now close your eyes and relax for 20 seconds.
Repeat this procedure five times.
