Gout, one of the main suffering of many in this new century has been pretty much a distress for everyone, yet ironically the health industry make use of this opportunity to earn an extra cash for many sufferers. But has anyone truly thought that prevention is better than cure?
This article doesn’t talk much about food, as Gout mainly caused from our daily food intake. But we also have overlooked on another equally important key that has pretty high percentage of worsening the condition, which is our daily lifestyle – a very good example is our daily work style.
Yes. Workplace and the way you work does have some link to joint problems, and after reading a health article, “Is Your Workplace Damaging Your Health?” it confirms me more that not only food is important for Gout or other joint complication patients, the workplace places another major part as well, especially offices.
Problems for office employees
Office employees that faces the computer daily has a higher risk of straining and damaging joints as usually computer users tend to have a sitting posture and keying posture problem after some time. The long hours at the PC without rest and constantly sitting on one position not only tires the person a lot at the end of the day, it also exposes them to more risk of joints and posture problems. You could imagine if this effect badly to a normal healthy person, what would happen to Gout patients?
The most basic way to lessen your risk to possible joint problems
Regular email users always receives emails about promoting health in the workplace, such as taking more frequent short breaks in between to reduce the risk of eye problems is actually one of the good ways not only for your eyes, but it helps to relax your muscles and joints after a constant uninterrupted stagnant position. Moreover, you can even have a time-out for your brain where you are psychologically a little relaxed. My boss would use to say, “Taking a short break could give you a breakthrough in what you are stuck with the day.”
So, it is not a sin to relax a little once a while, as long as your breaks doesn’t drag your working hours and getting things done within the day.
I will later post a full article that tells you more about how to detect early joint strain through the effects of your workplace.

Yes, I am still reading and compiling more information about the workplace and posture problem articles and I will summarise them so that it is easier for everyone to read.
But at the mean time, I am busy helping a friend to translate some talkshows from Mandarin to English...
