Dry Eye: the Hidden Health Hazard: For Computer Users Concerned About Eye Health


Book Description

Do you use your computer for hours at a time? Do you own a smartphone, tablet, or Ebook reader? Do you have a long drive to work? If your answer is 'yes' to any of the above, the chance is high that you may unknowingly suffer from dry eye. Gazing at a screen, reading, and driving are activities that many of us do in our daily lives, and these same activities contribute to dry eye. As a dry eye sufferer myself, it has become my passion to educate and inform the public about this often misunderstood disease. Dry eye cases have increased to epidemic proportions in recent years. Yet there is good news as well: the latest research holds the key to preventing and curing dry eye for good, and transcends conventional methods. I believe dry eye is a lifestyle disorder. Humans have been using web-based devices, exercising less, overeating, experiencing excess stress, etc., and COVID-19 actually aggravated this direction for humans, which I believe, increased a lot of lifestyle disorders such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, depression, and of course, dry eye. Especially in this new era, we have to combat the sudden lifestyle changes occurring now

Why Flying Endangers Your Health


Book Description

This uncompromising, hard-hitting expose of air travel opens our eyes for the first time to the serious health risks of flying and will change forever the way people think about air travel. Is flying really safe? Why has so little been disclosed about the health hazards of flying? Are there some people who should not fly at all? The flying public has been kept in the dark too long about the health dangers of flying. F S Kahn reveals the technical causes of health dangers and gives concrete advice on how to avoid these risks. Two invaluable checklists are provided: one for all passengers; one for high risk health conditions -- which will enable you to make informed decisions about whether or not you should fly. Recommendations are given to help alleviate the health stressors routinely encountered in flight. This book is compelling reading for all people who fly and in addition provides previously unavailable information for doctors, psychiatrists, and flight crews.
