It can aggravate back problems, especially if the monitor is not placed right causing poor posture in the chair. Also if the monitor isn't positioned correctly it can cause neck strain due to holding the head in an anatomically incorrect position. Neck strain can also be caused by looking at text being transcribed if the copy is not positioned properly. Prolonged keyboarding year after year can lead to arthritis of the fingers.

Any religion can promote good health. The problem is, us fat and lazy Americans won't get off our butts and exercise enough. Religion has nothing to do with being healthy. That is a personal choice.

(m)\n\nAdvantages of Yoga \n  \n  We give undue importance to our health and the treatment of diseases. A large number of medicines treat only the symptoms of the disease, and not the root cause. In fact, the cause of many chronic ailments is still being researched.\n\nIt is here that Yoga therapy comes to our assistance. Yoga emphasizes treatment of the root cause of an ailment. It works in a slow, subtle and miraculous manner. Modern medicine can claim to save a life at a critical stage, but, for complete recovery and regaining of normal health, one must believe in the efficiency of Yoga therapy.\n\nThe Yogic way of life includes a code of ethics, regulations, discipline and more, combined with prayer and meditation. Even a discussion of these subjects helps one relieve mental tensions and change attitudes. Simple Asanas help to stretch and relax the whole body and neutralize tensions. The sincere practice of Yoga postures benefits all levels of experience. \n\nFrom the restoration of balance, flexibility, poise, health and well being to the body, to the cultivation of mental equanimity, emotional balance, and inner strength. On a physical level Yoga postures stimulate the glands, organs, muscles and nerves in ways that traditional exercise cannot. \n\nMuscle tightness and strain is quickly relieved and both circulation and digestion improves. Stress-related symptoms like poor sleep, fatigue, muscle spasms, anxiety, and indigestion are greatly improved. \n\nThrough continued practice Yoga postures can have a profound effect on the inner dimensions of life, establishing deep calm, concentration, emotional stability and confidence.
