kompA new face condition was complained by the cosmetic surgeon. The condition is called “computer face”. This condition is caused by too long staring at the monitor screen. Sufferers also increased.

Those working at the computer for long periods may develop this condition. Signs of those who experience this condition are the folded neck, turkey neck, and wrinkles around the forehead and around eyes.

Botox specialist, Dr. Michael Prager, says that most clients are office workers who show signs of premature aging. “Especially those who have winced at the thought and concentration in front of the monitor screen. The more frequent and longer, it’s no wonder there will be wrinkles,” said Dr. Prager.

In addition, the neck skin is not tight is a fairly surprising. This happens because the posture has not changed in a long time. If you do all the time looking down, then the neck muscles will shorten, eventually becoming weak, then the skins around the area were loosened. So it looks like that you have two chins.

After taking into account levels of alcohol and tobacco on physical health, physical activity, and depression, Dr Belleville found that existing sleeping pills may increase 36 percent risk of death.

Other findings from the side effects of sleeping pills is also not to be taken lightly. For those with problems with heart, Belleville found that sleeping pills can suppress the respiratory system which will aggravate breathing problems during sleep.
