As an IT professional with over 20 years intensive computer use experience who has experienced first hand the many horrible effects of computer use on my health. Some were even life threatening, I want to share some of the things I now know about the effects of computer use on women’s mental health and how to minimize them.
Computers are here to stay and indeed have become indispensable to our modern way of living. The computer use environment is however unnatural to our natural way of not looking directly at a source of light and is consequently excessively stressful and toxic to our brains and other body organs.
As women therefore, we need to have a lifestyle that reduces the stress from other sources if we want to be avid users of computers without hurting ourselves.
Simple changes such as eating organic foods especially, fruits, vegetables and whole grain meals can go a long way in helping us achieve these goals. Herbicides, pesticides and man made fertilizers infuse many chemicals into the foods they are applied to that are not normally occurring in those foods. These chemicals make these foods more difficult for our digestive systems to handle resulting in the excessive utilization of the body’s stress and immune system resources in digestion leaving a much smaller amount for other body processes.
When this happens our brains do not have enough resources to handle other stresses resulting in feelings of anxiety, depression, unhappiness and other relational and behavioral problems etc.
Thus we can see that eating foods that require fewer resources will make it easier for our brains to handle the excessive stress arising from the unnatural nature of computer use.
Another simple thing that can be done is exercising both indoors and outdoors most especially walking as this exercises all our muscles while getting all the benefits of the sun and exposure to fresh air. This is natural to our way of existence and very relaxing to the brain and all our other body organs.
There are many other computer related health issues. For example, when we see with our eyes, it is actually our brain that does the seeing. Our eyes are like the camera that the brain uses to see hence the pollution laden light rays from the computer could create harmful effects on our brain. Eating brain health foods and exercising are important simple steps that could help reduce computer related depression, psychotic behavior etc. arising from excessive stress to our brains from computer use.These tips are only a tip of the iceberg.

New book provides information on how to minimize the health effects of computer usage
In her new book - Lessons I Learned the Hard Way available on her website http://computeragehealthrisk.com Adetutu Ijose shares her insight into the health issues faced by computer users everywhere having been a casualty of serious life threatening complications of computer usage herself. For decades many people have been in denial about the effect of computer use on human health fearing the effect of such knowledge on the use of the computer which could affect its widespread use and affect technological advancement. Some feared the cost to the computer industry if sufferers litigate. Consequently, millions of people are suffering silently not understanding why and in many cases not even identifying the source of their problem as their computer usage methodology resulting in huge healthcare costs as they undergo treatments that do not work or even in some cases worsen the problems or create new ones.
The medical profession is not very knowledgeable about this area and cannot really be blamed as no one is taught about computer related health conditions in school and our litigious society forces doctors to play it safe by keeping strictly to the book.
In addition, people seem to believe that knowing about how the computer affects their health may force them to give up their jobs resulting in economic loss and so our society is in denial.
This is the computer age. The computer is here to stay and indeed has become indispensable to our way of existence hence the fear of giving it up as a result of knowing its health effects is really shortsighted. It is the ignorance of not knowing its effects and how to deal with them that will force many people to give up computer usage as their lives become unbearable.
For every computer user who has ever wondered if computer usage is affecting their health and how they can reduce the effect or for the user who is having trouble getting their doctor to understand the issues they are dealing with or those who are wandering why their medications are not working there is information available that can help you.
Adetutu Ijose in her book - Lessons I Learned the hard way also made available by the publisher Strategic Book Publishing at http://www.strategicbookpublishing.com/LessonsILearnedtheHardWay.html provides details on why we are affected, how we are affected, how the issues develop, how the effects can be managed, how they can be minimized. She also provides information for doctors and their patients on how to treat these issues.
This information is to be a guide to computer users that could give them talking points when discussing with their doctors and help doctors in asking the right questions and determining if computer usage is the root of the various ailments a patient is coming up with.
Contrary to popular opinion, carpel Tunnel and computer vision syndrome are not the only effect of computer usage and are in fact only a tip of the iceberg. In addition several situations that actually present themselves as carpel tunnel are really something else as it was in my case.
This book is a must read for all
For example people are generally not aware that the computer use environment is one of chemical and electrical imbalances and that symptoms accumulate over time and sometimes take a long period to manifest. In Adetutu Ijose's case it took over 20 years. Everyone is advised to get a copy for themselves and their doctor.
The author in the book provides many practical solutions and has set up a new website http://foodsthathealdaily.com with some healing recipes to help with the diet end of things. Recognizing our societal appetite for snacks She has written a new book on how juicing, smoothies and milk shake can be made healthy and used as part of the solution. In addition 3 new book about the issue of computer related health conditions and various solutions are in the works.
