Using the Computer for more than 4 hours is bad for heart ..

Hello, Sadly knowadays if we were to believe every single report about what is bad for our health we would be better off not living anyway. Dont do this, dont do that, it never ends, lol. We only get one chance of life so just make the most of it. I wonder how long these so-called researchers sit at there computers typing up all these healthy reports

I think 'physical activity' is the key phrase here. Using a computer for 4+ hours means sitting on your butt and getting no exercise, no activity to get your blood pumping and your heart rate up, no movement to get oxygen to the blood, etc. (Sorry, but typing fingers just don't generate enough caloric burn.) Oh jeez...I feel my own arteries hardening as I type this and fat settling into the nether regions of my gluteus maximus. Time to get up and jog around the block.

Hi. kiran8. I think that a person should become more physically active everyday. I move around for about two to three hours in a day in the mornings. I am always doing something that allows me to get some blood pumping to my heart. So, I think that this is helping me out some. I would like to walk more. I am a fast walker, and I feel that this will definitely do me some good. Thanks for this information!

While I can certainly understand why there could be such a correlation, I don't believe that internet/computers actually causes "stress to the arteries". I am more than willing to wager that there is some other factor at play here. I am guessing that the stress may be due to the person getting worked up over the various things they may read, see, or hear on the internet. I am intrigued by this and would like to read more about it. Do you have a link or know where you found this information?

Hi kiran, Though there are so many 'no's are being brought to the light people do not seem to bothered least. Some two months back I read in a quarterly English magazine that cell phone have more advantage than advantage. But this has no impact on us. It was written there better, you text more and talk less, if you are at home use the landmine phones, should be kept at a distance when you are sleeping and so many other demerits. Now using computer more than four hours is not to be ignored sort of things. Taking regular break between your sessions is good for us. And where would you go for walking fast? People are everywhere and we are becoming less flexible only because of too much of sitting.

you are correct and i agree with you,now a days 98% of the software professionals are in the influence of the heart problems,every one rushing to the doctor or cardiologist in between 25-30 years old.it is growing every year,according to the survey of UHM growth rate of men facing heart problem every year is 10%.in this 6% are of computer professionals. the main reason for this was the lack of exercise to the body and unhealthy diet,other thing was continuously sitting in one place for longer time.

I think that sitting anywhere for a long period of time and getting no exercise cannot be too healthy for you. It could be watching tv for extended periods of time, or even working, We need to get the blood flowing, at times. I no longer have the ability to be on the computer for even an hour at a time without interuption.

Hi kiran, I think the report is right. From my personal experience I can say that if I use computer after diner I feel disturbance in sleeping. I have to wake up several times in the night. My head burns.Excessive use of computer or internet is also bad for our brain.

Is that a fact author? What is the connection of our heart to the computer? Please post more information sir so that I could be safe. Thank You sir.

i have heard that a lot and yeah its is not good for us that's why i always take a break go outside then come back and spend time on computer but my sis who is working in an bank tell she has too sit on one place and continuously do transaction online so she can't stay away from pc even for a sec in her office for those i would suggest to go to gym walking and do some excerise daily to keep yourself fit and fine

Sitting for hours together without physical activity is certainly bad, might effect heart too, honestly speaking i am not aware of this, i never sit for hours, if hubby takes a nap or out of home i enjoy mylotting, no other online work i do thnxs for this nice discussion kalyani

moderation. that's all I can say for sure. moderate your computer-time with exercise-time, eating-time, rest-time, etc.

So for those who are sitting in front of the computer in an office with the internet running the whole time are most likely to get a heart attack. Yea, I do take breaks in between to do other stuff, cause sitting too long on a chair is also not good.

I agree with you and plan to spend the time lesser and minimize it to an hour

This is most likely comming from people that are not involved in activity as in physical activity like walking or running. That are on the computer for 4 hours or more. Also as computer users that are online for that long they are more likely to drink things like Soda and junk food and not get up and make something that is good for them. Junk food being chips which are bad when mixed with Soda due to high sodium content. I bike at least 12 miles a day and also work in a physical job. So I spend time on the computer during the weekend I am generally offline for most of the day. As for this report I would have to see where it is from. As their are factors to any study that could make it less than true. Just look at some of the research coming from Christan affiliated research groups on topics like violence in video games and music making your kids gay. So would depend on where this research is coming from.

maybe it means that you can not stay too long by the computer, you should have a rest when you stay about 1 or 2 hours,and let your eyes have a rest per 30 minutes

For me it is true because every time I used in computer for about the hour only I feel not good my head is sick and my stomach is about to vomit.

I don't care for these stuffs much....I myself spend more than four hours in front of my PC...if you're gonna listen to all these ,you will not be able to live your life stress free....

It's a miracle I'm alive then :). I'm quite healthy too. I don't actually know anyone who uses a computer for less than 4 hours each day, except maybe for some elderly relatives. I'm not saying that a sedentary lifestyle isn't bad for your health, because we all know it is, but spending 4 hours in front of a computer doesn't seem such a health risk to me. Or maybe I don't want to face the truth because it would mean I had to change my lifestyle :).

hi kiran such a nice topic ya using the computer more than 4 hours is very bad for health.computers leaves more harmful rays which effects the eyes and heart.for just avoiding such effects sitting more hours but in continuous.just take break during using computer.
