Holiday Time– Keep Technology Away

21st century is an age where our businesses cannot be run without computers and cell phones. Even when we want to take a break from work & retreat on a holiday, we tend to stay linked to our work, thanks to one thing that has transformed our lives– technology.

There are not many of us who can disagree to the fact that we have a habit of checking emails or social networking sites even when we are on a holiday. According to a recent study, it was found that more than 63% of working professionals went operational during their vacation and only about 15% of them could stay away from using the internet during their vacation

Here are a few pointers you can follow in order to make your holiday pleasurable:

• Keep the phone away– Carry your phones with you only when necessary. Try not to use your phone when you are out exploring, doing something wild or just chilling at the beach. 
• Clear your mailbox– Clear your office mailbox before you leave for your holiday. Flag important communications or forward them to a coworker who can keep an eye on them on your behalf while you are gone. 
• Set up the Vacation Auto Response– Fix up your automatic reply declaring that you are on holiday so that individuals will not presume that you would answer back. 
• No Gadgets– Keep all your internet gadgets away like laptops and smart phones. Switch your smart phone for a simple phone that cannot link to the internet.

The greatest thing to do is to go out and enjoy! Odds are that the more you enjoy, the less you feel the need to stay connected to your work. So scrap away the stress and enjoy your vacation.

Cellphone Radiation – Take Care

Cell phones or commonly known as mobile phones have been a necessary part of our modern day lifestyle. Whether it is for work and mails or just music and entertainment, the use of mobile phones has amplified significantly over these years.
There are around 800 million mobile phone users in our nation and we are the second leading country in terms of amount of mobile phone connections according to industry reports. And we are quoted as the most rising telecommunication industry in the world and will have more mobile phone users by the end of this year.

According to the research directed by World Health Organization (WHO) – excessive usage of mobile phones may lead to cancer.  Just by their simple task, mobile phones have to radiate a small quantity of electromagnetic emission. The fear is that mobile phones are often placed close to head and heart, which puts radiation in direct contact with the vital organs. The main harm is the radiation that is caused by the mobile phones when we are on call or just using the basic functions on our mobile phone.
Here are some of the ideas which will help you to decrease the adverse effects of mobile phone radiations -

• Limit the usage of your calls – Even though you may have important work over the call, try and reduce the duration of the call. Long telephonic sessions may prove to be hazardous to your health.
• Avoid keeping phones in your shirt pocket – The electromagnetic radiations may directly affect the tissues near the heart. It is advisable to keep your phone in your trouser pocket
• Do not use mobile phones in elevators – Stop the use of mobile phones in elevators as the closed metal space as they use more power to establish connection. The metallic walls also act as a cage that traps the radioactivity and redirects it back onto the occupants.
• Do not make a call when signal strength is low – When the signal is low, the mobile phone will emit more energy as it will try to launch the connection.

The government is surely taking necessary steps to evaluate, re-visit radioactivity strategies for mobile towers and approve plans for radiation emission by mobile phones. But we also have to take proper actions to reduce the effect of radiation on our body. 

So be safe – and JiyoLife!

Slow Down – Excessive work is bad for your heart.

Slow Down – Excessive work is bad for your heart.

A new research found that individuals who operated 11 hours or more a day were more possible to have a heart attack related to persons who work regular seven- or eight-hours a day.

This investigation was taken after calculating well-known threat issues for heart disease such as obesity, smoking and high level of cholesterol.

With challenging superiors and hectic workplace atmosphere, it’s easy to sense stress at work. 

While a little stress can help you get dynamic but continuing stress can increase the risk of heart related syndromes.


Individuals who worked up to 10 hours a day were equivalent to those who worked less in terms of heart risk.

But once they crossed the 11-hour verge, there was a severe upsurge in the heart disease threat percentage.

Our Involuntary actions of the body such as heart beats are regulated by the Autonomic Nervous system i.e. ANS which plays a vital role in neuroendocrine stress responses. The ANS sends signals to heart and thus controlling the variability of the heart rate.

Work stress leads to instability in the heart rate. The effect on the ANS and neuroendocrine function in turn distresses the signals to the heart, leading to heart related disorders.

So always remember to get up from the chair and take a lap around the office regularly to keep the body flow active. Such small changes and regular exercise along with proper diet can help you lower your health risks.
