Healthy Living – Working from Home

Migraine Prevention Tips

If you’ve been working from home more than usual, it can be hard to find the right lighting in your new “stay-at-home-office”. Apart from the correct seating and desk arrangements, lighting at home can also be problematic if you’re working on a computer for long periods.

This could be one reason for headaches and their ‘uglier cousin’, the migraine. Check out some tips that might help you avoid or mitigate an attack!

Singing For More Than Your Supper

I’m sure we’ve all enjoyed singing in the shower from time to time, feeling good about how it makes us feel, rather than how it may sound! But there are real benefits health wise from singing. In China, it’s also a well-recognized and enjoyed early morning activity; alongside Taiji and Qigong practice, you’ll find seniors (and younger people) gathering together singing and just enjoying the camaraderie and positivity of raising one’s voice and spirit to the rooftop! Check out the benefits of singing and maybe give it a try yourself!

Joint Health – Hip Pain Issues

Working requires long periods of sitting, whether you’ve been working from home or in the office. Sitting is one reason for people to suffer tight, inflexible hip joints, though there maybe many reasons for this.

And don’t forget, Taiji (designated a ‘World Heritage Art’ by UNESCO) is a great way to maintain good health for all ages, is easy to do at home and is one sure way to loosen and relax the hip joints!
