Tehnologija ima cijenu. Ne radi se samo o novčanim troškovima. U ovom članku navodim neke zdravstvene troškove koji dolaze s korištenjem ili prekomjernom upotrebom pametnih telefona. Kada koristite pametne telefone, morate biti pametni inače biste na kraju imali jedan ili više od sljedećih zdravstvenih problema.

Zdravstveni problemi uzrokovani pametnim telefonima

Zdravstveni^(Health) problemi uzrokovani pametnim telefonima

Tekst vrat^{(Text Neck)}

Tekst vrat^{(Text Neck)} je izraz koji liječnici ili liječnici koriste za opisivanje poremećaja kralježnice koji proizlazi iz pretjerane upotrebe pametnih telefona. Normalno, ako je glava postavljena uspravno, nema opterećenja na vratnom dijelu kralježnice. Ali da bi čitali i tekstovali na pametnim telefonima, ljudi su skloni savijati vrat do 60 stupnjeva. To povećava pritisak na vrat. Dugotrajna uporaba pametnih telefona izaziva bolove u vratu povezane s kralježnicom i stoga se može nazvati poremećajima kralježnice. Prema istraživanju objavljenom u Washington Postu^{(Washington Post)} , oko 80 posto odraslih korisnika pati od bolova u vratu ovog teksta.

Najbolji način da to izbjegnete je da podignete telefon u razinu svojih očiju i pogledate ravno u njega. Morate to pretvoriti u naviku iako može izgledati neugodno. Drugo rješenje je spustiti oči umjesto da savijate vrat.

Gubitak vida^{(Vision Loss)}

Čitanje malih fontova na pametnom telefonu može trajno poremetiti vaš vid. Ovaj problem se događa jer su vam oči stalno napregnute gledajući plavo svjetlo koje izlazi iz pametnog telefona. Čitanje ili korištenje pametnih telefona tijekom odsustva vanjskog svjetla dodatno pojačava problem. Vaš vid postaje loš i možda ćete morati uzeti naočale.

Najbolji način da to izbjegnete je da u redovitim intervalima skrenete pogled s pametnih telefona. Pogledajte nešto daleko i usredotočite se na to neko vrijeme prije nego što se vratite na zaslon pametnog telefona.

Problemi sa zapešćem^{(Wrist Problems)}

Drugi problem koji dolazi s prekomjernom upotrebom pametnih telefona je problem zapešća. Način na koji dugo držimo pametne telefone napreže zapešće. Ljudi obično drže svoje telefone koristeći zadnja tri prsta i palac dok koriste kažiprst za obavljanje radnji na zaslonima pametnih telefona. Svakodnevno dulje zadržavanje držanja uzrokuje bol u zapešću.

Bolje je nastaviti mijenjati položaj telefona kada obavljate zadatke poput čitanja. Možete spustiti pametni telefon dok ležite na krevetu ili u krilu dok sjedite na stolici i gledati ga dolje umjesto da ga uvijek držite u rukama.

Utrnuli prsti^{(Numb Fingers)}

Slično navedenom problemu i iz gotovo istih razloga, prsti korisnika pametnih telefona utrnu i proizvode trnce. Držanje telefona dovodi do stresa od laktova do prstiju. Ruke iznad lakta imaju sporiju cirkulaciju krvi i ako se ne korigiraju odmah, mogu imati dugotrajne učinke. Kažiprst također doživljava isto i nakon nekog vremena utrne.

Umjesto da ustrajete u istom položaju, preporuča se odložiti telefon na neko vrijeme. Zatim izvršite pokrete ruku i prstiju tako da osjećaj nestane. Savjetovao bih vam da držite pametni telefon podalje barem jednu minutu svakih petnaest minuta korištenja kada čitate ili šaljete poruke. Time bi se izbjegli trajni problemi koji mogu nastati zbog dugotrajnog korištenja poput čitanja knjiga na telefonu.

Naveo sam samo četiri zdravstvena problema koji mogu biti uzrokovani dugotrajnom upotrebom pametnih telefona. Provjerite jeste li ovisni o pametnom telefonu^{(addicted to the smartphone)} – a ako mislite da jeste, razmislite o njegovom načinu korištenja.^{(I have listed only four health problems which may be caused due to using Smartphones for long periods. Check if you are addicted to the smartphone – and if you think you are, you may want to consider its usage pattern.)}

Health problems caused by Smartphones overuse

Technology comes at a cost. It is not just about the monetary costs. In thiѕ article, I put down some health-related costs that come with using or overly using smartphones. In using smartphones, you have to be smart else уou would end up with one or more of the following hеalth problemѕ.

Health problems caused by Smartphones

Text Neck

Text Neck is a term used by doctors or physicians to describe the spinal disorder arising out of excess usage of smartphones. Normally, if the head is placed upright, there is no stress on the neck part of the spine. But to read and text on smartphones, people tend to bend their necks up to 60 degrees. This increases the pressure on the neck. Long-term usage of smartphones bring forth neck pain related to the spine and hence, can be called spinal disorders. According to a survey published in Washington Post, around 80 percent of adult users suffer from this text neck pain.

The best way to avoid it is to bring up the phone to the level of your eyes and look straight into it. You need to make it a habit though it may look awkward. Another solution is to lower your eyes instead of bending your neck.

Vision Loss

Reading small fonts on a smartphone can disturb your vision permanently. This problem happens as your eyes are constantly strained by looking at the blue light coming out of the smartphone. Reading or using smartphones during the absence of external light further boosts the problem. Your vision becomes poor, and you might have to go for glasses.

The best way to avoid this is to look away from smartphones at regular intervals. Look at something far off and focus on it for a while before returning to the smartphone screen.

Wrist Problems

Another problem that comes with over usage of smartphones is the wrist problem. The way we hold smartphones for long durations strains the wrist. People usually hold their phones using last three fingers and the thumb while using the forefinger for performing actions on the smartphone screens. Retaining the posture for longer durations every day tends to create pain in the wrist.

It is better to keep on changing the posture of a phone when performing tasks like reading. You can put down the smartphone while lying on the bed or in the lap while sitting on a chair and look down at it instead of always holding it in your hands.

Numb Fingers

Similar to the above problem and for the almost same reasons, fingers of smartphone users become numb and produce a tingling sensation. Holding the phone places stress from the elbows to the fingers. The hands above elbow experience slower blood circulation and if not corrected immediately, can have long-lasting effects. The forefinger too experiences the same and becomes numb after a while.

Instead of persisting in the same posture, it is recommended to put the phone away for a while. Then perform some movement of arms and fingers so that the feeling goes away. I would advise keeping away the smartphone for at least one minute every fifteen minutes of usage when reading or texting. That would avoid permanent problems that may arise due to the persistence of prolonged usage like when reading books on the phone.
