Kapanlagi.com - Being an office worker is one of the desired jobs for most people. Wearing neat clothes, coming out of the office building, it looks so cool, especially if you can enter the famous company you dream of.

Not only that, office workers are certainly presented with facilities such as rooms with desks and comfortable work cubicles. In addition, air-conditioned rooms make you feel more comfortable without having to exert a lot of energy and endure the heat like field workers.

Due to job demands, many people are trapped at their office desks and have to sit for hours. This is what can cause you to experience neck and back pain. Especially if you sit in an uncomfortable position, it can add pressure to the spine, causing pain in the neck and back. To overcome this, you can move as often as possible to stretch.

2. Eye Health

Office workers are closely related to eye health. Because office workers will constantly stare at computer screens to work every day. In addition, other factors can be caused by poor room lighting, for example, a room that is too dark, while your computer has excessive brightness. As a result, the eyes become red, swollen eyelids, eye irritation, decreased vision, headaches, and dizziness.

3. Digestive Problems

Digestive problems can also haunt office workers. Usually, office workers are busy with deadlines, so they will neglect to eat on time. If you skip meals, especially if you suffer from gastric problems, this can be very risky.

Start taking care of your body by not delaying meal times. In addition, you can also bring your own lunch from home to anticipate not being late for meals.

4. Kidney Stones

Working in an air-conditioned room can cause some people to consume less water. The cold room temperature can make you not feel thirsty. This is what can trigger kidney stones.

In addition, don't forget to take a short walk after sitting for a long time and don't hold back urination, as this is also one of the causes of kidney stones. Therefore, avoid factors that cause kidney stones if you don't want to experience severe pain when urinating, which is the cause of kidney stones.

5. Typhoid

Typhoid or typhoid fever itself is a disease caused by the bacterial infection of Salmonella typhi. This disease is generally spread through contaminated food or drink with feces or urine of the patient. However, typhoid fever is often associated with office workers.

This is because the busyness of work makes many employees neglect their food and choose their meals carelessly. Not to mention stress and exhaustion will weaken the immune system, allowing the typhoid-causing bacteria in your food to easily enter the body, requiring you to rest.

6. Hemorrhoids

Next, the type of health problem often experienced by office workers is hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids itself is one of the diseases that can affect anyone, especially those who often sit, drink and consume less fiber, and lift heavy loads.

This disease is characterized by discomfort, especially during bowel movements or when sitting. Other symptoms include itching and causing the sufferer to release blood during bowel movements and afterwards, which will make sitting uncomfortable.

Those are a series of health problems often experienced by office workers. Starting now, pay attention to your body's health so that your work performance is not disturbed. Hopefully, it is beneficial.
