. Avoid exposure to this radiation in the office (at home) is virtually impossible. The consequences of such an impact is not yet clear - the massive use of mobile phones and computers is relatively recent, and perhaps in time we learn more about what it threatens our health.
Prevention. Try to keep a mobile phone, tablet PC and other electronic devices as far away from you - as long as you need them. If you work for a desktop computer, its processor should also be put away from you. Before you sit down at the desk, lay out of the pockets of pants cell phone and any other electronics - they are generally advised to keep away from the genitals, because no one can guarantee that the extremely low frequency in the long run will not lead to particular mutations in the offspring .
Adiposity
This problem is not new, but it is becoming more urgent because of the proliferation of sedentary lifestyles, increasing stress levels

and the prevalence of fast food and convenience foods in the diet of urban residents working in the office and having no time, energy or desire to engage in sports. As a result, the level of obesity increased LDL-cholesterol (low density lipoprotein) in the blood, there are problems with blood clotting, and other disorders. Obesity adversely affecting the muscles and posture, and this may lead to disturbances in the field of physiology and psychology. It contributes to erectile dysfunction in men - for many, this is reason enough to start as soon as possible go to the gym. In women, the effects of obesity can be a depression, infertility, and other problems with the reproductive system.
Prevention. Make sure that you eat, both at home and in the office, and not to push a hamburger or hot dog, even if it seems to you that you do not have time to eat something more useful. Whole-grain bread or a bag of nuts - a more than worthy replacement of fast food. Do not make too big breaks between meals, as this usually leads to overeating when you finally get to the food. And, most important, play sports - regularly, at least 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes or more. Do not look for excuses to not do so. Remember the words of Clement Tissot: "The movement can replace many medicines, but no medicine in the world is no substitute for the movement."
Colon cancer
Although experts are still arguing about what is the link between work at the office and colon cancer
Colon cancer: creeps imperceptibly
It is evident that many hours stay in the sitting position is associated with the spread of the disease across the globe.

Heart diseases
Even while working your heart is deaf and dumb, because you're dealing with dry numerical data, working life still persist for the heart without a trace. Scientists believe that people who are 10-11 hours per day spent in the office, the risk of heart disease increased by 67%. This is due to the fact that when a working day a person leaves little time for sports, he can not cook your own healthy meals and eat horrible, and many people even when the signs of health problems postpone visit to the doctor because deadlines and constant fear of being without an increase or a raise. In addition, office workers are often subjected to severe stress, not enough sleep, including common bad habits - especially smoking. All this may lead to the fact that once the internal motor not sustain human and fails.
Prevention. If you get up from the table every half hour at least for a couple of minutes, it will significantly reduce the risk of heart disease. During the lunch break, try to find time for a short walk briskly (instead, you can go down a few times and go up the stairs). Drink more water and find the strength to give up bad habits.
Injuries
Working in an office does not seem particularly traumatic, but in reality, an office worker surrounded by things on which you can slip, which can be cut, if not handled with which you can get an electric shock. In general, a modern office - a minefield filled with items that may harm your health. If we add to this inattentive staff who accidentally spill liquid on the floor and stretch cord where people usually go, the picture is almost catastrophic.
Prevention. Keep your eyes open, and do not do anything stupid. This may seem a very simple task, but in fact you can easily be distracted by anything, and did not notice a puddle of water or a cable on the floor, accidentally trip over the edge of the table, and fell on all that is on it. Opportunities to get injured in the office a lot. The ability to prevent all this one - carefully look around (and under the feet), and to behave cautiously.
