Computer strain:Is it making you ill?

By on 51

Are you a blogger? Are you on the Internet for a long time every day? Do you know you are at risk for this disease?

Once a friend came to me with this strange problem. Her eyes were always burning.
Nothing seems to help. Now I have written a lot about acid reflux and burning sensation in the throat. But burning eyes? She was upset and close to tears. A talk with her revealed the following. She is a computer engineer. On the way to work from 8 am to 8 .45 am using an Android phone to catch up on Gmail and WhatsApp messages.


At work from 9 am to 7 pm : Using a PC or a laptop.
Returning home from work 7  to 8 pm: Using the android phone to check the Facebook and Instagram feed.
At home from 9 pm till 23.30 pm: watching television.
Bedtime: Checking phone for any important emails, messages,fb messenger.
So from 8 am till 12-midnight digital screen usage of 15 to 16 hours!
 
Shocking, right? At the end of the day your eyes burn, headaches, neck pains. All this seems to get worse every day.
Bloggers and all digital media professionals who are using computers throughout the day face this strange problem. It’s called Computer Vision Syndrome or Computer fatigue syndrome.


 What is Computer fatigue syndrome?

Computer fatigue/vision syndrome is a problem faced by people who are using a digital screen for long hours.I am at risk. You are at risk. Those who use a laptop, computer, smartphone for long hours for study, work or pleasure all are at equal risk. With Online education in 2020 .2021 and now 2022, kids are the new sufferers if screen time is not monitored.

What problems will you have with Computer Vision Syndrome?

  • Eyestrain
  • Irritation in the eye
  • Burning sensation
  • Pain in the eye
  • Headache
  • Neck and shoulder pain
  • Generalized irritability
Computer Vision Syndrome:What complaints you may have

Computer Vision Syndrome:What complaints you may have

Why does this happen?

  • Poor lighting
  • Poor posture
  • Prolonged digital usage
  • Glare from the screen


How to avoid it ?

  • Rotate your head and neck and shoulders every few minutes.
  • Antiglare screens
  • Antiglare eye glasses
  • Good lighting
  • Good seating posture
  • Under desk stepper
  • Walking and writing on the laptop
  • Checklist to have healthy eyes while using digital screens
  • Check lighting conditions
  • Is your chair comfortable? Does it give good back support?
  • DIY your own standing desk with your treadmill to get healthy.
  • While typing on your keyboard ,keep the reference at the correct angle to avoid eyestrain.Ideally :It should be placed just above the keyboard and below the monitor.You can hold a document holder beside the monitor.
  • To look at the monitor and the screen ,you shouldn’t have to move your head.
  • Always check the position of the monitor to avoid muscle strain and eye strain.
  • Its more comfortable to look at a computer screen , looking downwards.
  • It’s best if the computer screen is at 15 to 20 degrees(5 inches) below your eyes.
  • LCD screens are preferred ,than old PC monitors.Avoid glare.Use Anti-glare screen.
  • Light from windows and overhead light shouldn’t come from the back.It’s best to use drapes on the windows.Use floor lamps.Low wattage desk lamps .
  • It’s better to have windows to your side than in front or behind.
  • Blink frequently
  • Use preservative free tear solution to prevent dryness.
  • Chair should be comfortable. Preferably with hand rest
  • Your feet should touch the floor
  • Check your computer display setting
  • Brightness :same as surrounding.Should be like a light source and not a glare .
  • Text size should be around 14
  • Black print white background

Exercise you can do:


Take frequent rest breaks.

While sitting, rotate your feet and wrists while reading. Stand up, move about and stretch your arms, legs, back, neck, and shoulders. This will help reduce tension and muscle fatigue.
Try to give your eyes rest for 15 minutes after two hours of computer use. For every 20 minutes of computer work, shift your eyes and look into the distance for 20 seconds. This allows your eye muscles to relax and refocus.
Blinking frequently helps a lot. It decreases your chances of getting dry eyes. Blinking keeps your eye moist and healthy.

For Children with Computer vision syndrome

Reduce screen time except for educational requirements and that too should be age-appropriate.

Take care that the child has nature time and spends time in a green plant-filled environment.

Children should have regular eye checkups by an Ophthalmologist or eye doctor.

Who should take special care?

Children need more care.
If you use contact lenses, you need to be more careful.
Checkups: Eye checkups Once a year at least. Eyeglasses with anti-reflective coating, the blue light filter will help to protect your eyes.

Takeaway


Regular eye examinations and proper viewing habits can help to prevent or reduce the symptoms
associated with Computer Vision Syndrome.

Mommy Hacks to Save Sanity: #Monday Mommy Moments

By on 2

 

Mommy hacks are golden nuggets.They are the wisdom distilled over centuries by mothers forever picking up after their children.Women then didn’t have it easy.But they didn’t need to juggle the extra guilt of our generation.

To work away from home or not?Who will take care of my baby?How to cook, clean, work and still have energy left over to play?Are you a teacher?Lawyer ?Doctor?Businesswoman, SAHM,WAHM, going to office mom?Wherever you are, whatever you do, I am sure you are a super busy, multitasking, hardworking creative woman.No less than our ten handed beautiful Goddess Maa Durga!

My daughter had once drawn her version of Maa Durga and put a laptop and stethoscope in two of her hands the 3rd hand holding her little hand and said,

Mumma she is just like you!

Oh, I felt happy that day.But I don’t feel that great when I actually do all this at the same time and feel like the proverbial headless chicken.Women are the epitome of power.Some days you don’t want to be powerful,just want to let things be and someone else take charge.

Thinking you don’t have a creative bone in your body?Well, I can guarantee you are forever finding new ways to stash those building blocks, the never-ending stacks of drawing pages, crayons and what not!

I have simple home rules,hacks to keep my sanity intact.Its hanging by the thread ,but its still there!

Mommy Hacks
Mommy Hacks

Mommy Rules for Sanity

Maximum of 1 board game or two toys out at a time.If you don’t put it away after playing, you don’t get to play with it next time.Your books and toys shouldn’t be standing in the middle of the room, for mommy to fall over.This obstacle race is not fun.

Study time if you are good, mommy will be more likely to be good during playtime.Life is a balance.What you do now will affect your next.Important to explain as early as possible.Otherwise, children end up thinking, crying and telling Daddy, will take care of all the Worlds problem.(I wish this happened the way I want.But it doesn’t always go according to my plan!)

Help mommy shell the peas.She helps with kitchen duty too.That’s stretching it a little.What I mean is she puts her cups and dishes in the proper place and not just anywhere.She is  also learning, that when mommy is cooking, she needs both her eyes and hands on the work at hand.Otherwise, everything can get burnt!So strict rule this one.

Don’t talk when mommy is cooking.She needs to focus!.

Whenever there’s an insurmountable problem, I tell her to pray to God.It helps to make the little one realize there’s a higher power and teaches her patience.After all, prayers are a part of life.I find they work as mindmaps of what we want .My daughter is 5 years now .I manage work and home ,just barely!I manage as long as my hubby is around and all the people who help me are around.That means I pray all the time!

Eggplant and Allergy:Fruits facts you should know

By on 16

God had a plan when he told me to write A to Z of fruits.Surprise Eggplant is a fruit.Yes really.Iam not making it up.Otherwise, I would have to say egg is the fruit of the chicken tree.AtoZ of fruits is making me discover some interesting facts.

Eggplant is a fruit and is commonly popular as brinjal in India.It is also called the aubergine.Unlike other fruits, it’s not sweet.The raw fruit is actually slightly bitter and hardly ever had as it is.It’s a fruit and called the king of vegetable .It is supposed to be a meat substitute in vegan and vegetarian  dishes, due to the richness of its taste.

My favourite eggplant dish

The beguni made with slightly thick slices of eggplant dipped in a gramme flour batter make monsoon evenings a  pleasure.Have it with a cup of gingery chai or at lunch with khichri.

Nutrition facts:

 Low in fat , protein, dietary fibres and is hardly a micronutrient storehouse.But it tastes delicious fried(begun bhaja ), smoked (begun pora), the north Indian baingan bharta or beguni(made into fritters with gram flour).The main drawback of this is It can soak in massive quantities of oil if not prepped properly before cooking.

Top tip to decrease  eggplant  fry from soaking in excess oil

This is why my air fryer has made frying brinjal less of a calorie horror.I just rub a mixture of salt haldi  , and a pinch of sugar. And keep it for some time then brush oil on either side of the piece of brinjal and air fry

Allergy eggplant and folklore

Allergies to eggplant are common.It’s especially common in those people with a history of atopy.You may have itchy sensation around the mouth and throat.The tongue may feel heavy and swollen.If you have any problem breathing you should visit  ER.

I avoid brinjals with too many seeds.Different parts of eggplant have a different type of allergens(chemicals causing allergies).Mostly localised in the peel/skin.The allergic reaction occurs due to the attraction of the eggplant allergen to IgE.

Eggplant & Allergy:Fruit facts you should know
Eggplant & Allergy:Fruit facts you should know

 

Symptoms include:

Skin rash .angioedema, wheezing, itchiness of lips around the mouth, and inside the oral cavity.Hoarseness of throat.Gastrointestinal discomfort Females may have more of a problem than men.

What to do if you have eggplant allergy?

Avoid having it. Food allergies, unfortunately, have no treatment

The folklore 

It belongs to a species of nightshade plant commonly known to have alkaloids as their constituents.Probably due to allergic reactions, there are folk stories around the eggplant

 13th-century Italian traditional folklore, the eggplant can cause insanity.

 Egypt, insanity was said to be “more common and more violent” when the eggplant is in season in the summer.

Sounds scary right?

But rest easy.No scientific research have linked this delicious side dish to insanity ..

5 Things I am thankful for when I wake up in the morning :ThankfulThursdays 22

By on 15

Getting up in the morning feeling fresh and energetic is the biggest joy.I remember the time when my daughter was an infant and after an all nighter I could hardly drag myself out of bed.I used to look forward to my afternoon nap sessions with the baby.

So waking up refreshed sits high up there on my list.

5 Things I am thankful for when I wake up in the morning

That first cup of gingery green tea .Oh yes, I love green tea now ,first thing in the morning. It perks me up without any guilt trips. But then I need my cup of coffee made just right at 9 am before I can go to work. I can never choose between two wonderful things.

Read about  my  Affair with Tea

Affair with Tea
Affair with Tea

A day of little juggling

I always thought being a multitasker is a super skill. In fact for women, it’s a survival skill.But that’s exactly why women top few lists! Lack of mindfulness can tilt the balance between doing it fabulously and doing it okay.Mindful living and less juggling makes me calm and gets my creative juices flowing.Too much stress can be paralysing

Healthy and happiness

Health is your biggest wealth.True happiness is a balance of emotional wellbeing and physical fitness.When I don’t have any major health worries except the minor irritations, that’s a major boost.Equilibrium and balance are important in life.The cup of energy needs constant refilling.

If you are constantly battling ailments then its difficult to explore your creative potentials.Doctors are often guilty of a sedentary lifestyle, horrible food habits, lack of sleep and stress about patients.Take that, together with the physical risk of bodily harm by relatives/goons!That’s a perfect formula for early onset of Syndrome X and obesity

I will read and learn , write and share

God created man.Man wanted to share his thoughts, feelings far and wide.Enter the use of words.Words are a blessing.What can I say?I love reading.Its like breathing for me.I can’t survive without something to read at all times.

Reading is exploring new worlds. Reading is learning new thing.Reading is an opportunity to cut short your struggles, by learning from those who are ahead in the game.That’s why my Genius Bloggers toolkit has been amazing.It has helped me avoid years of mistakes.

That’s why you need to read.If you read the masters, you learn.When you read books which are not that good, even then you learn.

Books are the best teachers.
As The King puts it  aptly,
“If you don’t read other people’s work,don’t expect them to read yours.”

Stephen King in “On writing “

ADHD:Before putting your child on Medications(Most important is number 9 )

By on 57

The brain is the most interesting and the most difficult organ to handle. When something like ADHD is diagnosed in a child, parents feel distraught. But don’t worry. With timely intervention, good results are possible. What you must understand is that ADHD has a complex relationship with childhood stressors . All present and future treatments need behavioral training, family therapy, and medication, with weight being given to all. Before you start medicines and expect things to get better quickly, you need to know a few things.

ADHD The Summary

ADHD is a spectrum of disorder. The earlier the diagnosis, better is the long-term quality of life. While some children with associated psychiatric and developmental challenges are at the deep end of the spectrum. Many children with behavioral therapy, family support, medication will lead a productive life.

[bctt tweet=”Early diagnosis, management and sustained follow up is key to avoid long-term problems in ADHD.” username=”misra_amrita”]

#1 What is ADHD?

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD is the most common neurobehavioral disorder of childhood. That’s the bad news. The good news is it is also the most extensively studied mental disorder of childhood.

#2 What are the challenges the child may face?

  • Academic underachievement
  • Recurrent and persistent  interpersonal relationship problems .
  • Issues of low self-esteem are very common.

ADHD:Before putting your child on Medications!

#3 What other health problems may be associated?

The doctor will screen for

  • Learning disability
  • Language disorders
  • Emotional issues
  • Behavioral problems
  • Psychiatric problem
  • Vision
  • Hearing

#4 What are the symptoms of ADHD: when you should visit a doctor?

If any of the following are there for more than 6 months in a child and is causing challenges of development, social, emotional academic. The symptoms broadly fall into categories of inattention and hyperactivity.

  • Making careless mistakes, lacking attention to details. Not listening when spoken to directly. Not finishing activities and unable to follow through instructions. Disorganized.
  • Avoids activities needing sustained attention. Child misplaces things necessary for activities. Occasionally misplacing pencil or rubber is normal and not unusual in young children. Try to stop  this habit by giving them a particular place to keep all their stuff next to the study table.
  • Hyperactivity involves excessive fidgety movements. The child is unable to indulge in quiet play. Talks excessively
  • Impulsivity: Not able to wait for a turn.Talks in between others etc

ADHD is a challenge to diagnose in preschoolers because distractibility and inattention are often present at this age. Different categories of ADHD is diagnosed, depending on criteria and needs a trained pediatrician.

#5 What causes ADHD?

The causes are complex and multifactorial. It is often the net result of several associated and simultaneous factors influencing brain development. There is a strong genetic role in ADHD. There is also a correlation with reduced dopamine level in the brain as a causative factors.

Maternal factors

Child factors

  • Food coloring and preservatives
  • Brain trauma
  • Abnormal brain structure on child increases the risk of ADHD

Family factors

  • Psychosocial family stressors may cause or exacerbate symptoms of ADHD.
  • Family stress
  • Abuse
  • Neglect
  • A close blood relative with  ADHD, mood or anxiety disorders, learning disability, antisocial disorder, or alcohol or substance abuse.

#6 How will ADHD be diagnosed?

Diagnosis needs the opinion of a pediatrician, child psychiatrist, clinical psychologist. It involves detailed history, physical examination, lab test and interview with caregivers.

The doctor also screens for vision or hearing problems and test for elevated lead levels. The latter is more important when a child comes in children with some or all of the symptoms if these children are exposed to lead poisoning.There are no diagnostic tests available to identify ADHD in children at present.

#6   Treatment

  • Psychosocial Therapy/Behavioural therapy
  • Drugs
  • Family therapy.

The detailed treatment protocols are beyond the scope of this article but medication depends on main symptoms presented. Psychostimulant medications, including methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, Focalin, Daytrana)Amphetamine, and/or various amphetamine and dextroamphetamine preparations (Dexedrine, Adderall, Vyvanse).

While generally well-tolerated in most children, Adderall and Vyvanse side effects most commonly include a loss of appetite, stomach pain, irritability and difficulty falling asleep. A longer list of side effects does occur in some children, although the more serious ones are rare.

Most of the drugs will have some side effects, which will be explained by your doctor.

#7 Behavioural management alone will not be enough. It is also a long-term goal.

Once the diagnosis of ADHD has been established, the parents and children are educated about  ADHD’s effect on learning, behavior, self-esteem, social skills, and family function. The doctor helps the family improve the child’s interpersonal relationships, study skills, and reduce disruptive behaviors.

#8 Untreated ADHD  Risks

  • Increased  risk-taking behaviors (sexual activity, delinquency, substance abuse)
  • Educational underachievement.
  • Employment difficulties.
  • Relationship difficulties.

#9 Prevention of ADHD

Parent training, training of caregivers and school teachers help in the early detection and treatment of ADHD. This has a big role to play in improving the quality of life in affected children. Early screening for Vision, Hearing and psychiatric problems will help in the effective treatment of children with ADHD. Long-term adverse effects of untreated and ineffectively treated children with ADHD is avoidable with early intervention. Detection of elevated lead levels in children who present with the symptoms is a part of the diagnostic arsenal.

Also if you are a young woman reading this and you want to be a mom later in life, you may want to avoid drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol. A future human’s quality of life may depend on it.

Is Your Child’s Protein Sufficient for the 2nd and the Last Growth Spurt ?

By on 91

Children grow up very fast. Their energy and protein needs vary with age. The second growth spurt comes and goes, and mothers are left wondering whether a child will grow any taller. Some children, grow taller than their classmates. That’s because their moms took care of their protein needs at the right time. The second growth spurt is often missed due to less awareness about it. 

But that’s the last time when what your child eats, can change his/her life.

Mothers are perennially on a tight rope. Balancing between fears of too much and too little. Both undernutrition and obesity-related malnutrition is a cause for worry. A high-calorie diet where the energy comes from refined sugars of processed food is bad for overall health. High-quality protein and matched energy is needed for the increased energy requirement during this age. They go through a tremendous, physical, hormonal and emotional growth phase, where a balanced diet is important for their complete growth.

Children need good quality protein during a second growth spurt

According to this article, Linear growth increases markedly during puberty in both sexes from approximately 5 cm/year in prepubertal males and females to 8.3 cm/year in pubertal females and 9.5 cm/year in pubertal males. Weight velocity increases from 3 kg/year in prepubertal males to 9 kg/year during puberty; the gain is composed almost entirely of lean tissue.

When does the protein requirement peak?

Diet during prepuberty years is very important because that’s when the body is getting ready for the second growth spurt

So just increasing total calorie and protein should do, right?

Not really.

The problem is both with the quantity of protein, as the quality of protein. When the diet is plant-based and protein source is plant-based, a gross deficiency occurs in the quality of protein the child receives.

This deficit will have a lifelong effect and probably the reason why the optimal height and intellectual potential is not reached.

SECOND GROWTH SPURT
SECOND GROWTH SPURT

What should moms do?

Moms make meal plans. Moms cook, Moms shop for food (Sometime Daddy does too)

Moms also know exactly how fast their child is growing and what is his/her daily activity level.

Nutrition Requirement during the second growth spurt

Nutrient requirements increase during adolescence to support rapid growth. Inappropriate nutrition can create a lasting impact on the growth, development, and physical fitness of an adolescent. Nutrients of significance during this period are:

  •         Proteins: To support an increase in muscle mass and promotes the hormone Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations which aid in growth.

Protein should account for 15-20% of total calories. The quality of protein becomes important especially if a vegetarian or a vegan diet is followed.

What is the role of protein?

Protein influences the production and action of factors involved in growth. The growth hormone (GH)-insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF 1) system is most important. The liver produces IGF-1 under the influence of dietary proteins.IGF-1  is essential for longitudinal bone growth that is increasing in height, skeletal maturation, and bone mass acquisition. Decreased levels of IGF-1 have been found in states of undernutrition.

Calcium: To support bone growth.

Vitamin D: To facilitate the absorption of calcium in bones

  • Iron: To support blood formation and improve the physical performance of a child.

Are we taking sufficient protein in diet?

According to the National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau report (India), the intake of protein was found to be low across the prepubertal age group. Its because of a lack of awareness. Even before the time of second growth spurt, children do not consume enough protein and calorie intakes to get the maximum boost to their height.

What happens if protein deficiency persists?

When protein intakes are not right, the child never grows to their maximum.

Child needs good quality protein in the right amount
Child needs good quality protein in the right amount



Does the quality of protein consume also exert an impact?  

Indian diets derive almost 60% of their protein from cereals such as wheat, rice, jawar,   bajra, etc. The proteins found in these cereals are of inferior quality. The National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) survey in India, which uses household food expenditure to arrive at nutritional intakes, also indicates that about 66% of the protein in the rural population and 56% of the urban population is derived from cereals. When the main sources of their protein were plant-based  ,there is a bigger need of health drinks providing the right amount of protein supplementation.

What are the sources of good quality proteins in the diet?

Good quality proteins are proteins that contain all the essential amino acids. Some sources of good quality proteins are:

  • Fish, Chicken, Mutton, other flesh food
  • Milk and milk products
  • Egg
  • Soy protein(should only be taken under doctors supervision)

Protein in your breakfast: What you must know

Proteins play an extremely important role during the second growth spurt, which is the last chance for your child to grow tall. Growth mediators such as IGF-1 help in the utilization of the dietary protein for your child’s needs.

The inadequacy of proteins in the diet may lead to stunting in children. Since Indian diets are mainly cereal-based, it is essential that both the quality and quantity of proteins in the diet are maintained.

The second growth spurt is a period of rapid growth, with increased nutritional needs. Growth during this period is faster than at any other time in a child’s life except in the first year. It offers the last window of opportunity to give your child the nutrition needed to embrace a healthy adult life. This is also the last chance to cover nutritional deficits due to picky eating in childhood. Facing this challenge of increased nutritional demand in this will help your child achieve optimal growth.

Conclusion:

  • Cut out the junk food. Occasional treats are okay.
  • Milk and milk proteins both increase IGF1 so they can be used as a source of first-class protein in the diet.
  • Fish is a very healthy protein source and is highly recommended.
  • Other animal flesh sources of protein are balanced against need and ease of availability.
  • Protein supplements and Threptin diskettes according to need.

When your child needs more protein and the diet needs supplementation a health drink with the right amount of protein is needed to meet the challenges of second-growth spurt head-on.
