5 Office Gadgets that Will Improve Your Health

Are you stuck at the office every day working 8, perhaps even 10 or 12 hours? If so your health is most likely taking a toll.

Back pain, strained eyes, headaches, and more. A lot of the negative consequences of working in the office can, in fact, be helped by some office gadgets. Here are 5 of them to look into investing for better office health.

Protect Your Eyes with Computer Glasses

In recent years we’ve seen a huge improvement in eye technology. Think of what your eyes mean to you and you’ll see that there is no better time to prioritize your eye health. Optometric advisers tell us that staring at a computer won’t damage eyes permanently but you may experience quite a bit of eye discomfort. You could battle with eye muscle fatigue from the glare from your computer and have to deal with headaches, itchy, dry eyes and blurred vision.

There are a few ways you can minimize damage to your eyes and one is to protect them with computer glasses. Gunnar glasses for example with their blue light-filtering lens technology, come with lots of designs, anti-scratch lens- and tint options. The Haus computer glasses specifically have Crystalline tinted lenses. If your job requires you working in true color, then these lenses will work for you. Frame options include aluminum-magnesium alloy, acetate and steel. 

Keep Moving Under the Desk with Cubii

If you’re looking to make new fitness-plan-resolutions for the new year, you need to stick to them, and with the Cubii it’s not as hard as you think. The Bluetooth-enabled cubii is a clever, discreet way to exercise under the desk while you’re sitting at your desk. The under-desk elliptical trainer is an awesome way to get your blood circulating while you sit for hours at your desk.

The bonus part is that it burns calories too – in fact up to 200 calories an hour. It’s so compact you can move it to wherever you’re sitting. It comes with 8 different resistance levels and there’s a display unit that shows you the calories you’re burning, RTM, distance and time. With the Cubii you can seriously stick to your ‘get fit’ resolution – with minimal effort.

Sit Up Straight and Strengthen your Core with a Kneeling Chair

If you’re one of the many people whose workdays are a misery because of an aching back, maybe it’s time to look at a kneeling chair. Not that you want to make this chair your regular one, but you want to be able to alternate your sitting positions often. You want to give your back a break from pain in the tailbone area, and with a kneeling chair, you can.

These kneeling chairs are designed to have you sitting in such a way that your weight is distributed over to the buttocks and shins, taking away the pressure on the lumbar region. People who are used to having pain in the tailbone area can benefit from these types of chairs.
