Know The HEALTH FACTS ... Because WEALTH THRU PERSONAL HEALTH is a COMMITMENT... NOT A CHOICE!

Internet has revolutionized the way we do things whether in business, personal life or in Medicine. We can now diagnose diseases from areas where there are no doctors based on Internet transmission of images. I find it useful to browse through medical journals every morning to see what’s the latest and what’s no longer acceptable in terms of treatment or diagnostic tools. However it is said that approximately 5 to 10% of adult population are now hooked to Internet and are spending more time then they should. The era of Internet ADDICTION!
In one study done by Stanford University researchers recently published in Journal of Neuropsychiatric Medicine,it is estimated that” more than one in eight U.S. adults finds it hard to stay away from the Internet for several days at a time and about one in eleven tries to hide his or her on-line habit.”
The implication of the study is that a sizable number of subjects had their marital or social relationships suffering due to Internet use. So far however no clinical or medical disorder has resulted arising from Internet addiction. But what we know about the Internet is that it may promote addictive behaviors and pseudo-intimate relationships like “cybersex.”
Some of the signs that a person is suffering from Internet Addiction are:
- disregard for health or appearance,
- sleep deprivation
- decreased physical activity and social interaction with others
- dry eyes
- carpal tunnel syndrome and
- repetitive motion injuries of hands and fingers.
Enjoy the benefits of the Internet but as the saying goes…
Too Much of a Good Thing Can be
BAD for Your Health!

I wouldn’t be surprised that in the coming years or decades, there would come out class suits against microsoft for this addiction.

Great prediction… for sure… that is coming! If somebody sues the restaurant for offering buffet and making him fat… then the same goes to suits for smoking and Mc Do! Interesting world we.re in… We love to blame things on something else aside from ourselves!
