How are you doing? Just a quick check on you…

Did you know, these are some common signs of
over dependency on digital platforms and devices?

How are you doing? Just a
quick check on you…

Did you know, these are some common signs of over dependency on digital platforms and devices?

Digital dependency may impact
our physical and mental health

We all rely on our digital devices to one degree or another. Whether it’s for seamless connection, capturing moments, entertainment, or simply keeping track of our busy lives, they unlock a world of endless possibilities with just a touch or a swipe.

While computers and hand-held devices are becoming more of necessities than luxuries, moderation in digital dependency is key to achieving balance.

As of early 2024, Malaysia has a staggering 44.55 million active cellular mobile connections and is also home to 28.68 million social media users,  equating to 83.1 percent of the total population. (Source: DataReportal) 

However, alongside its advantages, there are telltale signs of digital dependency that affects our mental and physical health.

How Can Screens Disrupt Your Sleep?

Most of the digital devices we use every day contain some form of blue light. Cell phones, tablets, laptops, computers, LED TVs, and bulbs all emit blue light which decreases melatonin levels in the body and leads to a more alert state of mind.

That’s why working late, scrolling social media, or watching your favorite show right before bedtime can make it harder for your body to fall asleep. Prolonged exposure to blue light emitted from digital devices can also potentially contribute to vision problems over time.

Digital Eye Strain

Did you know that reading text on a digital device is often harder for the eyes than reading printed text? This is why working on a computer for a few hours may cause symptoms of digital eye strain, but reading a book may not.

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) also known as Digital Eye Strain, is one of the most commonly reported symptoms of too much screen time. Symptoms include dry eyes, redness around the eyes, tired eyes, headaches, blurred vision, plus neck and shoulder pain.

When using any form of digital screen for longer periods of time, the American Optometric Association recommends using the 20-20-20 rule. To use the rule, after every 20 minutes of screen time, take a 20-second break to look at something at least 20 feet away.

Eurobio Bio-Vizmax Benefits

  • Special eye formula to prevent digital eye strain and helps reduce photo-oxidative damage to the eye by absorbing and filtering out UV-light and protects against effects of long-term digital gadgets light exposure.
  • Natural source of Lutein and Zeaxanthin.
  • Added natural fish oil (DHA & EPA) which are important for cell membranes. 
  • Added Zinc and other antioxidants, to help prevent free radical damage.
  • Formulated based on AREDS2 (Age-Related Eye Disease Study)
  • Formulated in easy-to-swallow soft capsule

If you’re experiencing persistent eye discomfort, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for advice and potential solutions.

Nerve Discomfort and Musculoskeletal Issues

Looking down at an electronic gadget for long periods can lead to neck and back pain, as well as nerve discomfort in the wrists, and hands while holding electronic devices. Stretching the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your neck and upper back can cause discomfort in the occipital nerve where the spine connects to the base of the skull. This ultimately causes headaches.

While there are short term options such as massages and heat patches to relieve muscle aches and pains, supplements may provide a relatively novel approach to prevention. Example, nerve pains can be an indication that you are lacking Vitamin Bs.

Eurobio Neurocomin Active Formula Benefits

  • Essential nutrients to support healthy nerves
  • Helps with nerve protection and reduces nerve symptoms such as numbness and tingling sensation, and pain related to nerves
  • Formulated with high strength Methylcobalamin, an active form of Vitamin B12, which is an important nutrient for the normal functioning of cells and development, especially to keep nerve and red blood cells healthy.
  • Combined with Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid, to support healthy nerve functions and relieve nerve discomfort conditions.

If you’re experiencing persistent nerve discomfort, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for advice and potential solutions.

Are you addicted to your Digital Device? Watch the video.

While our digital devices offer unparalleled convenience and connectivity, excessive screen time can lead to a host of issues, from digital eye strain to nerve discomfort and disrupted sleep patterns.

Being mindful of our digital habits can better navigate the digital landscape while safeguarding our health and well-being for the long term.

Just like the fresh air we breathe, we may be taking our use of water for granted. Are you aware that the water you use for drinking, cooking and bathing goes through a very intricate production process before it reaches your taps?

What goes behind the production of treated water involves a complex operation from raw water abstraction to water treatment and distribution to consumers. All the equipments and assets require continuous and periodical upgrading and maintenance works to ensure clean and safe treated water supply remains sustainable.

Do pay heed to your mental wellness.
Optimise your mental wellness with VitaHealth CHARGE-UP™

Over the past decade, Malaysia has witnessed a dramatic increase in the prevalence of mental disorder. Two years on, the pandemic is far from over. As we continue to adjust to life in a new normal, many stressors persist. We now have to cope with:

  • Inflation – everything seems to cost more now
  • Lifestyle changes
  • Concerns about the future
  • Fast-paced living
  • Emerging infectious diseases

Several policy reforms in the past decade have led to advances in the Malaysian mental health system. Unfortunately, there remain many obstacles in the delivery of accessible and affordable mental healthcare.

Malaysia had a significant deficit of psychiatrists and psychologists...

Malaysia had a significant deficit of psychiatrists and psychologists. We have just 1.27 psychiatrists per 100,000 population (as at 2018) vs. World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of 1 per 10,000!

The Ministry of Health aims to raise...

Thankfully, the Ministry of Health aims to raise this ratio to 1 psychiatrist per 50,000 by 2025, and 1 per 30,000 by 2030. 

Only 20% of Malaysians with a mental disorder seek out professional care

It is estimated that only 20% of Malaysians with a mental disorder will seek out professional care. Why? Social stigma, mostly, due to lack of awareness and misconceptions about mental illness.

Suicide cases almost doubled on average across all age groups...

Suicide cases almost doubled on average across all age groups in the first five months of 2021 (94/month) compared with 2019 (51/month). Alarmingly, 51% of the 1,708 suicide cases between January 2019 and May 2021 were of teenagers aged 15-18.

What is mental health and wellness?

Mental health is just as important as physical health – we need both to achieve overall wellness and quality of life. Unfortunately, we tend to overlook the importance of mental wellness, and often take it for granted.

Read More

Mental health is the foundation for our emotions, thinking, communication, learning, resilience and self-esteem. Our mental health affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Indeed, good mental health is key to healthy relationships, good personal and emotional well-being, and our ability to contribute to community or society.

Do note that although often used interchangeably, poor mental health and mental illness are not the same.

Mental health involves effective functioning in daily activities. If you have good mental health, you are productive (work, school, caregiving), have healthy relationships, and able to adapt to change and cope with adversity.

Mental illness

Mental illness refers collectively to all diagnosable mental disorders. Common mental illnesses are depression, bipolar disorder, post-partum depression, schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorders etc.

Read More

Someone suffering from a mental illness experiences significant changes in thinking, emotion and/or behaviour, and typically has problems functioning in social, work or family settings.

Alas, many people who have a mental illness do not want to talk about it due to social stigma. But mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. It is a medical condition, just like heart disease or diabetes. And mental health conditions are treatable. The vast majority of individuals with mental illness continue to function in their daily lives.

Break the stigma

If you have mental health issues, don’t suffer in silence.
