Participate 4.1.3 Digital Health Quest

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle takes work now.  In times before individuals likely received exercise through survival.  Hunting down your own food took work!  Now, our lives have become far less strenuous and sometimes even complacent.  As our society moves further and further into technology, we have to set aside time for our own well being.  While working with the computer, putting the screen at eye level allows your neck to set at a more natural, comfortable angle.  Providing a rest for your wrist also helps alleviate pressure on your arms and hands.  These small changes can help while working on the computer, but one must make an effort to find time away from the computer.  I spend alot of time "plugged in" and my children see that.  For my own health, and theirs, I must find time to be active and away from my technology.  Finding a nice balance will ensure better overall health for us all!  Sometimes, meshing them both together is the best.  I love my ipod while running!!
