Although it has been working from home due to the influence of the new colon virus, more people are feeling sick due to unfamiliar work.

This time, we will explain the factors that make you sick when you work from home, and introduce specific examples of measures to improve your physical condition.

By the time you finish reading the article, you will understand the factors of poor physical condition and what measures you should take.

Background that working at home is increasing

Many companies have introduced teleworking with the global spread of the new colon virus.There are also online conferences and online drinking parties where TV conferences tools have penetrated and can participate while staying at home.

The background of the increase in working at home is the spread of IT equipment and the reform of the government's work style.

Recently, the cloud can access files from multiple devices.Regardless of the type of industry, more and more companies are providing tablets and personal computers.

These backgrounds have quickly penetrated the new way of working at home.

What are the factors that increase your physical condition when working from home?

On the other hand, the number of people who feel sick due to working from home is increasing.Here are some factors that make you sick when working from home.

Stop commuting

When working at home, you do not need to commute to work at home.

I often hear positive opinions such as "I have more time to study," "I have more time with my family," and "I have been released from the stress of crowded trains."

However, if commuting is gone, there are cases where exercise is insufficient.

Some people think that commuting is not a great amount of exercise, but if you come to work, you will move to the conference room or go to another floor.Sometimes you may carry heavy luggage.

However, if you work at home, you will lose all of these exercise opportunities.

It is said that human physical strength will decline at a stretch if you do not move a little bit.You should know that the impact of the loss of commuting is greater than expected.

If you continue to lack exercise, you will increase the risk of metabolic syndrome, so take measures as soon as possible.

Metabolic syndrome may cause seriously -related illnesses, such as ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disorder, and arteriosclerosis disease.

Life rhythm is disturbed

Many people may have had a rhythm of life because they worked at home.

Life rhythm turbulence can cause autonomic imbalance.Autonomic imbalance causes various symptoms as follows.

・ Dizziness, tinnitus, and dizziness.・ I feel stuffy.・ Palpitations.・ Stiff shoulders and back pain are prolonged.・ I'm sick of my stomach.·constipation.・ The limbs are sluggish.・ Wake up badly.・ Weak to climate changes.

Even if each one seems trivial, if such a malfunction begins to appear throughout the body, you will not be able to concentrate on your work.

Since the disturbance of the rhythm of life causes various symptoms, it is important to incorporate a device that does not disturb the life rhythm, such as regularly reporting to your boss or putting a meeting in the morning.

Increase the snack

If you work at home, many people may just eat snacks.

Moderate snacks can increase concentration, but too much can increase the risk of diabetes.

Many people think that diabetes is "bad sweets", but in fact, rice crackers and oysters also contain many carbohydrates.

It is also necessary to be careful if you have a brief lunch, mainly carbohydrates such as bread and rice.Carbohydrates are sugar, so too much to increase the risk of diabetes.

I have a long time looking at the computer screen

If you look at your computer for a long time, you will increase the risk of VDT (visual display terminal) syndrome.Don't be careful because your working hours do not change.

When you come to work, you have a lot of time to temporarily take your eyes off your computer, such as talking to your colleagues or being called by your boss.

However, in the case of working from home, there is no such stimulus from such outside, so you will continue to look at the computer screen for a long time.

The main symptoms of VDT syndrome are as follows.

・ Eye fatigue and pain.・ Dry eyes.・ The eyes are blurred and blurred.・ Reduced eyesight.

When it gets worse, stiff shoulders and arm pain may appear.

In addition, symptoms spread widely, such as general malaise and numbness.In addition, mental symptoms such as frustration and anxiety begin to appear.

Insufficient communication

Along with "Corona Depression", the mental health disorder caused by working from home is also recognized as a serious problem among industrial physicians.In the first place, if your lifestyle changes completely, humans feel anxious and stressed alone.

Even if you are not conscious, you may unconsciously accumulate fatigue.

In addition, the lack of communication will continue to be nervous.Many people have experienced the power of their shoulders and have returned to concentrate just by talking with their colleagues for about 5 minutes.

When working from home, it is difficult to create such a "relaxed time".

There are also cases where you tend to worry about reporting, contacting, and consulting to your boss, compared to when you are on the same floor.When you report in face -to -face, you can understand the other party's expression and tone, but it is not so that it is a sentence.

There are many people who work from home and are struggling with the timing of the report and the text of the email.

These difficulties peculiar to work from home increase the risk of mental health disorders.

Happiness decreased due to the influence of work from home?

According to a survey conducted by Keio University and the NIRA General R & D Organization, 26 % of the overall work had dropped, and 36 % of the whole life had less happy happiness.

4 % of the people who have been satisfied with the whole work have increased, and 4 % of those who have the happiness of their entire life, so it can be seen that there are much more people who have reduced their satisfaction and happiness.

Also, in the OMRON Healthcare survey, 61 people answered "mental stress" in response to the question "What kind of trouble do you feel due to telework?".It was 3 %.

You can read a situation where many people are stressed by working at home and have dropped not only work but also the happiness of life.

To prevent poor physical condition due to working from home -Corporate measures

Next, we will introduce initiatives to prevent poor physical condition from working at home.

Prevents long working hours by attending attendance

In the attendance management of home, it is basically a self -reporting system.However, by using IT tools that can aggregate activity logs, it is possible to prevent employees from working too much.

Measures for eliminating lack of exercise

In order to eliminate the lack of exercise, some companies are working on gymnastics videos and holding online yoga classes.

Activation of communication

Some companies are actively holding online drinking parties to eliminate employees' loneliness.There are some unusual efforts, such as online cherry blossom viewing.

Introducing the progress management app so that you can grasp each other's progress without reporting, contacting, or consulting can also reduce stress related to communication.

Next, we will introduce initiatives to prevent physical condition due to work from home.

Prepare a desk environment

If you have severe back pain or stiff shoulders, first review your desk environment.

If you are not working in the right posture, your back pain and stiff shoulders will worsen.Use a laptop stand to avoid stoops, buy cushions for back pain that fit the shape of the buttocks, and devise yourself.

Prepare a meal

If you have more snacks, eat three nuts and nuts and cheese instead of sweets to prevent too much snacking.

Those who drink a lot of juice can be replaced with milk or drinking yogurt, and those who like ice can freeze yogurt or devise a single device.

Acquire exercise habits

In order to eliminate the lack of exercise, set the time to walk or stretch.Once you have a daily habit, you can continue without stress.

Reduce eye burden

In order to reduce the burden on the eyes, it is important to take a break to rest your eyes every hour.It is also recommended to attach a hot eye mask.

Also, looking at the computer screen, the number of blinks decreases, making it easier for your eyes to dry.

In such a case, let's take eye drops.It is important to be sensitive to eyestrain and take a break immediately without thinking, "After a break ...".

Raise your life rhythm

To prepare your life rhythm, take a habit of bathing in the sun light after getting up, bathing about two hours before sleeping, and taking in a habit.In addition, taking a nap is a source of life rhythm, so if you feel drowsy, go for a walk, so please do not sleep in the daytime.

Get the understanding of the family

It would be nice if you had the opportunity to communicate with your colleagues at an online drinking party, but if you don't have that opportunity, let's communicate with your family.

For families to explain that communication is important to increase your concentration in working in Japan, and get your understanding.

On the other hand, if you can't concentrate on your family's voice, change your home work space or incorporate soundproof panels.

It is important to create an environment where healthy and performance improves

It is important for companies and employees to understand that health has a significant effect on work performance and have a high awareness of health.
