I don't do office work at the moment, and I wouldn't see any reason why I'll go for an office work that is stressful to my health. Health comes first, anything that tries to jeopardize with my health, it's simply no go. I'll stick with the kind of job that gives me time and doesn't affect my well-being. I wouldn't work from morning to night just to make ends meet. Such is disturbing to the health, it is better to work where your health permits you in order to avoid complicated health issues in the future. Because it will be disastrous then.

I work from home and I work really hard. I do not go to office because my room is my office and my computer desk is just like my cabin. However, since I work really hard, it takes a lot of effort to make money even my sitting in front of computer. My biggest issue is sitting in front of computer screen for a really long time. May studies have proved that sitting for long hours is not bad for health, in fact, it could be so harmful that even exercising would not help to reverse the bad effects of sitting for quite longer time.

I often feel the bad effects of sitting. Usually my neck hurts due to sitting in a bad posture. This is something really common in people who are required to sit on a chair for long time in office. This is why I am now thinking about re-scheduling my working hours that would allow me to take breaks so that I could manage my health as well. The good thing about my work is that I am my own boss, so managing such a schedule would not be a problem for me. Health is very important. You must never compromise it.

My whole career is related to computers. My first job was a computer programmer trainee and I did not leave the industry. My work was stressful which caused gastritis due to excessive overtime work and the pressures the comes with the projects. I had been hospitalized several times for the stomach problems that at first I thought it was something serious. Even when I was assigned work in London I suffered severe gastritis that I called an ambulance to bring me to the hospital. There was a time that I tried another job but the pay in the industry of technology is much higher so I have to go back to work with computers. Fortunately I was still healthy when I retired at age 62 maybe because I was able to endure the pressure and the accompanying stress of my job.

Yes office work affects your health in so many areas, most office works are usually very stressful and stress alone it self is not good for our health. Office work requires you to sit in one position for a long. Period, medically speaking it is not good for humans to sit in one position for a. Very long period of time. Another issue about office work is that it affects our walking posture and our entire posture generally. I have a relative who works at the office, she is always seated in front of the computer, hence she would always hunch her back so she could operate her system, it has changed how she stands and walks.

Work-life balance is so important. Though it is easier to talk about it, it is very tough to actually implement it in our lives. People into demanding jobs end up working more and ignoring their mental and physical health. Then many people end up in jobs that theu don't like. Doing something that doesn't interest you is extra stressful. But then at the end of the day one has to pay bills and earn fot livelihoods. Not everyone is lucky to land in a job that is interesting and enjoyable.
I am passionate about my work. I worked at a school for 10 years. I started it with my friend and we made it a brand. I looked forward to the job. But then the long travel was the trouble. Traffic worsened with the ever going road constructions and metro construction. Traffic was a nightmare and travelling that long had ill effects on my health. I couldn't shift my home because of my husband and daughters. So, finally I quit that job. I go there once in a month or less just for teachers and parents workshop. I have joined a school nearby and work there as part time.

Obviously office work affect our health. Continously work under the pressure of the boss will exert more stress on your mind or brain .Although I am not working in office but I know how it is difficult for the office people to work by continously sitting eight to nine hours.Due to continously sitting at one seat may cause many health problem for example obesity can cause due to this ,heart dieases and diabetes etc.Also the food which they eaten from the office cafeteria or canteen effect their health a lot .Because unhygienic ,junk or oily food can cause stomach aches. These kinds of problems especially occur in these people who are doing desk jobs and due to lack of excercise their weight will become increase.So ,I suggest to office worker to pay heed on their health by doing following things on daily basis .The first don't go office without eating breakfast because breakfast helps you and provides you energy to do work and the second thing bring your lunch box from home and avoid to eat junky food from office cafeteria and avoid drinking sodas and try to move and stand as much as possible .These steps protects office workers from many health problems .
