Even small kids have the problem of obesity nowadays and that may be owed to the long duration spend on the computer and TV that cut short the time for physical activities and outdoor games. Nice information provided!
That's true, it is fast becoming a life style disease that has many negative impacts on our lives if we don't watch out ! And more importantly it is relevant to a lot of people , since many use the computer and/or have a desk job as well ..
Working in computer, playing in computer, always with computer making all the problems. So we can avoid always sitting in computer.
Ideally you can take a break every hour or so and move around and do something else so that there is some activity for your limbs. Even those with desk jobs and office job are advised to do this ...
@ Arun....Its very hard to live in this world without a computer and a netconnection for me. I live with my computer morethan 14 to 15hrs a day.
I guess the only thing to do under the circumstance is to take a break whenever possible and do something else,like go for a walk or at least move around the room so that your limbs and also mind is free of concentrated activity which is supposed to be very bad for the system !
You cannot avoid sitting if your job so requires. I also need sit for longer hours. But I move more on foot and do not use personal vehicle. I also use stairs and not lift. This helps a lot.

It is a very, very good advice. Everyone should follow this for their good health.
Since we cannot change jobs or our present day life style nor our dependence on computers and the internet, the best option is to make some necessary changes .Making a time table is a good option(if you stick to it) - like use the net for so many hours after which you do some other activity which is physical in nature so that your limbs,joints and muscles get exercise ..

Exactly we cannot change our dependency of computers as it has been one of the necessicity these days.But one should not sit in front of computer continuously and always take a break and have a walk as that way it may relax eyes as well as have an exercise of muscles. :)

But they continue to do the same later sitting in front of the computer for another 3 or 4 hours a day and this is a deadly problem and doctors recommend that you do some dedicated exercise to counter the ill effects for at least 30 minutes.
