your computer equipment have a large effect on your posture while using your computer. Be

posture. Also, be sure to use the adjustment capabilities of your computer components and office
furniture to best suit your preferences now and as your preferences change over time.

your computer, the more important it is to observe your working posture. Avoid as summing
any one posture for an extended period of time. Periodically make minor modifications in your
posture to help deter any discomforts that might arise. Make use of any adjustments that your
office furniture or equipment provide to accommodate changes in posture

Short, periodic breaks help ensure healthy computing:
Because computing is primarily a
static activity, it is particularly important to take short breaks from your work. Periodically, stand
up in front of your work area, stretch, walk for a drink of water, or otherwise take a short break
from using your computer. A short break from work gives your body a welcome change in
posture and helps to ensure you remain comfortable and productive while you do work.
