Gadgets have long become an integral part of our lives.
Many people cannot imagine their day without using a smartphone, for example.
But it is important to remember that you should not use them for too long if you do not want to get health problems.
Ophthalmologist Natalia Zakharova said that gadgets can be used for no more than three hours a day without harming vision.
In addition, it is important to consider that if you spend too much time with them, it will negatively affect the condition and quality of sleep, and may also affect mental health.
Zakharova noted that these are not all the disadvantages. The specialist reminded that frequent use of technology reduces physical activity and leads to gaining extra pounds.
The doctor told Izvestia how to reduce the negative impact of gadgets on life. She noted that you should not touch your phone an hour before bed, as well as an hour after waking up.
If you are forced to constantly work with a smartphone or computer, you should try to reduce the strain on your eyes. To do this, you need to do a little eye exercise every 20 minutes.
Proper lighting plays an important role. For example, too bright light only increases visual strain.
