A few nights ago, while swiping his phone, Xiao Zhang suddenly turned black in front of him and lost sight of one eye. He began to think that his eyes were only tired, so he closed them slowly, but after opening them, there was still no improvement.

Xiao Zhang began to panic and went to the hospital overnight with his family, only to be diagnosed with central retinal artery occlusion, commonly known as "eye stroke".

The doctor said that Xiao Zhang's eye stroke was mainly related to turning off the light and looking at the mobile phone while lying in bed. Staying up late in the dark room for a long time and looking at the mobile phone with eyes would lead to vasospasm and contraction, resulting in occlusion of eyeground blood vessels and sudden blindness.

The 'late night mobile party' is the norm for many young people, and turning off the lights and lying down may cause you to hurt from head to toe.

1. Visual impairment

I believe many late night parties have tried lying flat and suddenly getting hit in the face, but the deeper danger behind it is that when the lights are turned off, the light is relatively weak. In order to see objects clearly, people's pupils will enlarge, causing obstruction of aqueous humor flow, increased intraocular pressure, and affecting vision, and may even lead to glaucoma.

In addition, excessive use of mobile phones and eye strain may also trigger an "eye stroke" similar to Xiao Zhang mentioned earlier, with a blindness rate of over 80%.

When lying on the side while looking at the phone, the pressure on the eyes is the greatest, which can quickly lead to visual deviation in both eyes.

So no matter how you lie, it will cause damage to your eyes!

2. Cervical strain

Lying in bed while watching a phone can cause excessive neck sagging, unnatural body bending, and neck leaning forward, causing the neck muscles to continuously stretch forward, leading to chronic congestion in the neck, which can easily compress the carotid artery and cause cervical spondylosis.

3. Lumbago

When playing with a mobile phone while lying down, focusing on the screen and awkward posture can cause stiffness in the waist, leading to lower back pain.

4. Venous thrombosis of lower limb

It may be OK to play with your mobile phone while lying down for two times, but if you lie down for a long time every day, the blood flow in your legs will slow down, which may induce venous thrombosis in your legs. If the situation is serious, it may lead to fatal pulmonary embolism.

Swiping your phone during leisure time can indeed help you relax, but playing with your phone during these time slots is likely to pay for your health.

1. During defecation

Playing with a mobile phone while using the restroom can distract attention from defecation, increase difficulty in defecation, and prolong defecation time. Maintaining a bowel position for a long time may cause anal congestion and trigger hemorrhoids.

2. During meals

When people play with their phones while eating, their energy and thinking are also more active. The brain will snatch the blood originally supplied to the gastrointestinal tract, affecting its peristalsis and secretion of digestive fluids, thereby affecting the digestion and absorption of food. Over time, the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract may decrease.

3. When walking

Walking and playing with mobile phones is also a very dangerous thing.

According to a survey by the World Health Organization, over 270000 pedestrians worldwide die in road traffic accidents every year, with a large part of the reason being related to walking and playing with mobile phones.

4. While sleeping

Playing with a mobile phone before bedtime can make the brain's nerves continuously excited, making it more difficult to fall asleep, disrupting the original biological clock, making sleep irregular, and reducing deep sleep.

Of course, the habit of indulging in playing with mobile phones is not something that can be changed in just a few days. So what can be done to minimize physical harm?

1. Keep a healthy posture

That's right, it's like an Ultraman launch, with a relaxed neck and one hand holding the phone to eye level, and then using the other hand to support it for a more comfortable grip.

If you are lazy, you can also place your elbow directly on the table and lift your phone to the height of your eyes.

Try not to play in bed. If necessary, place a pillow behind your back and sit up to play!

2. The light should not be too dark

When using a mobile phone at night, do not let the lights go dark and keep a certain amount of light source. In addition, the brightness of the phone screen should not be adjusted too high, and the contrast between the phone screen and the surrounding environment should be reduced.

3. Try to choose a larger screen and font size

Try to use a large screen electronic device and enlarge the font. If the displayed font is very small, it may also affect your eyes.

4. Control duration

The longer you play with your phone, the more likely it is to cause brain excitement. It is recommended to set a 15 minute or half hour alarm clock before going to bed at night. Once the time is up, turn off the lights and go to bed. Don't make excuses to use your phone again.

Lying down and playing with your phone before going to bed may be comfortable, but it can have a negative impact on your health. I hope everyone can reduce their time playing with your phone tonight, keep it away from the bedside, and have a good dream.
