If there are these probably need to be addressed. Another facet of good back care is exercise, stretching the spine and strengthening the core muscles, the back and abdomen. This needs to be done regularly to balance hours spent in a seated position. This is done in Yoga, Pilates and many other exercise/health systems. The third important issue to address is of course your seating arrangements while at the computer. Good posture at the computer is vital for long-term back health and comfort. Look for ergonomic solutions in your chair and in your monitor placement. Best Regards, Carina Hi Doris,

Looking forward to reading more of your informative material on health. I work at a computer and have low back pain, sometimes it comes on much more and at times is less. Pl tell me what I should do so as to get relief. Thanks once again and bye, Doris Thanks so much for all the information on wellbeing and health and breakfast tips.

I am glad the information is helpful to you. It is really amazing how some small facts can really make a big change in our health or wellbeing. Another issue for many people is drinking enough water. I always council students to drink a sufficiency of good clean water (standard recommendation is about 8 cups (2 litres) but some people do need more, depending on the climate and your activity levels of course. A good friend recently returned from Bali and felt quite ill, and it seemed to increase as time went on. Nausea, belly bloating, diarrhea, tiredness and general ill feeling. She thought she maybe had a virus or other ‘caught’ illness. Upon visiting the doctor it was diagnosed as a case of dehydration. While in Bali she had done huge amounts of walking and drank only small purchased bottles of water. Had she really dosed up on water on her return she may have come good, as she is now upon getting this information. She is feeling 80% better within 24 hours of increasing her water intake to above normal until she balances her systems again. Dehydration may also play a part for office workers in artificial and quite dry air conditions, and where diuretics (things that make you urinate frequently) such as tea and coffee are drunk all day. Replace your morning coffee with an apple to wake up, and the rest of the day drink good water! All the best, Carina Thanks for your comments Juliet. I am glad the information is helpful to you.

This is valuable information. I especially didn't know about toxins in the body when it's stationary. Or tea and coffee contribution to the toxins level. Thank you so much for the little tips!
