It is quite a challenge to maintain good posture for long hour especially if you need to spend more than 8 hours in your office. A good computer chair is probably the single most important component of our working environment. If the chair that you sit is not comfortable, it may affect our health.

While we in the West are more familiar with the way doctors practice traditional medicine for healing, the ancient Eastern practice of medicine known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (or TCM), has recently become popular in the West as an alternative to traditional medicine. In order to understand the way illness is treated in traditional Chinese medicine, we need to understand their view of illness in the human body.
Traditional Chinese medicine is based on the Taoist philosophy that the human body is a universe with a set of complete and interconnected systems. Those systems usually work in balance to maintain the healthy function of the body. This is the principle of yin and yang. These two opposites are constantly in motion, creating a fluctuating balance in a healthy body. Illness occurs when either yin or yang is in a state of prolonged excess or deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are trained to view the body, mind and spirit as one system and to treat the disease in a holistic manner. The balance of yin and yang is considered with respect to qi (breath or life force), blood, jing (essence), other bodily fluids, the five elements, emotions and the soul or spirit (shen).
Research shows that the less you eat, the better your health will be. Digestion takes many hours and your system may not be able to digest properly when you are sleeping.
So it is good practice to take less after your lunch - better if you can skip your dinner - your digestion will be done during the middle of the day while you are moving around.
The other way is to take an earlier light dinner - this may help.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history of over 4,000 years. For centuries, millions of people in China have relied on TCM for their health and treatments. It joins the power of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and energetic exercises to correct imbalances found in the body. This not only allows the body to heal itself but also helps to prevent other illness. TCM has been used to treat various ailments, from acne, cellulite, dandruff, gout, insomnia, menopause, weight loss and wrinkle to other more serious health conditions such as arthritis, cancer, cholesterol, depression, diabetes and heart diseases.
Ying and Yang
Chinese believe that the imbalances of organ energies (or Qi) may cause disease that affects the health. The TCM approach is fundamentally different from that of modern Western medicine. In TCM, the understanding of the human body is based on the holistic understanding of the universe as described in Daoism, and the treatment of illness is based primarily on the diagnosis and differentiation of syndromes. The goal of TCM treatment is to adjust and harmonize Yin and Yang - wet and dry, cold and heat, body and mind. This is accomplished by regulating the Qi, Moisture and Blood in the Organ networks. Weak organs are strengthened. Congested channels are opened to flow, heat is cooled, cold is warmed, tightness is softened, agitation is calmed and dryness is moistened.
