Techies enslaved by lifestyle diseases

 Techies enslaved by lifestyle diseases

We all have been left wondering whether COVID is to blame for the sudden heart attacks among people

under 45 in recent years or if there are other factors to blame.

The way of life of IT experts will in general be chaotic, testing, and, simultaneously fun, yet all the same

quite often stationary. Their health suffers as a result of this lifestyle, especially given that they have

been working remotely for almost two years.

Because of unfortunate dietary patterns and absence of activity, most of them utilized at organizations

in Technopark, Infopark and Cyberpark in the state have announced business related pressure, lower

back and neck torment, hypertension, rest problems, cardiovascular sicknesses and diabetes. Three

years back, a review directed by SolHealthCare, a wellbeing firm, in Technopark found that an enormous

number of nerds experience the ill effects of neck torment, hypertension, lower back torment, business

related pressure and rest issues.

Heart disease can strike at any time, especially given the high prevalence of lifestyle diseases like

diabetes, obesity, and hypertension and the stressful lives we lead. It's the ideal opportunity for a

change in mentality - dealing with our heart wellbeing by going to preventive lengths as opposed to

driving an unfortunate way of life prompting early coronary illness. We should focus on heart wellbeing

since early on, so we can keep away from inconveniences not too far off and carry on with better

existences.

It is essential to keep in mind that you may still have an underlying heart condition even if you do not

exhibit any symptoms. Therefore, if you have a family history of heart disease or any of the other risk

factors listed, regular heart screening tests are recommended. These tests can assist in the early

detection of any issues, allowing for appropriate treatment prior to significant heart damage.

The pandemic has caused the majority of techies to work from home for the past two years. The

majority still choose that option, despite the fact that WFH affected their work-life balance. Recreational

activities for employees have begun to be organized by a lot of IT companies. Some have even

introduced ergonomics, the idea that a job or workplace should be designed with the worker in mind.

Recently one of biggest IT giant , Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), has notified its employees to blink

their eyes every ten minutes or take a break from looking at the screen.

Physiotherapists say that techies are reporting a lot of problems that come from bad work practices.

This includes working to meet a deadline while sitting still for long periods of time, which can be

stressful.

This includes working to meet a deadline while sitting still for long periods of time, which can be

stressful. "Wrong sitting posture, long working hours, and sedentary lifestyle are increasing health

issues among IT employees." The spine, particularly the lower back and neck, is harmed in all of these

ways and cannot be repaired. Numerous technologists have had to seek treatment as a result of sitting

for twelve consecutive hours without breaks.

Health professionals advise technologists to maintain a constant distance between the screen and their

eyes when using their devices. Feet ought to lay on the floor and the knee should be put at right points.

Wrists should kept in a marginally dropping or impartial situation while composing.

There are many recreational & wellness initiatives taken by various MNC’s like Zumba classes , Open

gym, jogging track, swimming pool , introducing Smart bikes for environmentally friendly

transportation.

So onus for maintaining healthy lifestyle lies with you only so ask yourself daily “ Can I retire today and

live a stress-free life? Am I fit enough?”
